Liverpool was evidently inclined to take mat
tiers easy over the Sabbath and accordingly
moved with moderation Notwithstanding that
the Chronicle pictured some Improvement in the
crop during the week and noted good picking
ped OF 364d, but spots remained unchanged.
Trading here was decidedly mixed. Offerings
appeared to be in the majority but at the de-
cline good demand was attracted and huc-
tuating tendency was the natural result Clos
rs cornpared with yesterday. Some OF the more
timid longs appear 10 be inspired with fear
that the crop Is rapidly recuperating with pre-
yailing weather but conservative traders are
letting no feature Of any character escape con-
sideration. Liberal marketing by the country
will doubtless have detrimental influence for
consumption and any break in prices is likely
to attract an active demand.

hardly SUFFICIENT TO supply local orders.

more satisfactory than yesterday. Grassy
