sympathetic advance of to s, making

gust and to 8 on the others. The total
stock of American in Liverpool ashore
and afloat is $4,000 against SIT ,0c0 last
year and 271 900 year before last. The
80 leading interior towns during the
week received 5000 against $4,000 last

hold in stock SO, 900 against 191, 900 last

clear skies were reported generally

Very light showers fell in most of the

on the Eastern Texas coast. The strong
statistical situation, the good demand for
spots in Liverpool and the probability of

the strength in these positions today and
held the later ones steady. The near

the demand for spots and manipulation.
