opened steady At decline OF 2 to IL points

to go ana August TO eos Then came a
rally Of points on pront-taklng by room
shorts to e.25 for July, but substantial
new buying dld not appear, and for tho
rest OF the early session the market was
very feverlsh and Irregular. Large port
receipts and rumors that continued short
time was likely at Lancashire mills had a
depressing ercct. Liverpool was due tn
come about unchanged, but broke 3 TO 4
points on near months and to points

Liquidation and urgent bear pressure were
given MS the cause for the weakness IN the
