ceipts at the ports picked up rapidly
reaching close 10 10000 bales, against
10000 same day last year and this too,
served to warn against further pur-
chases for the moment. The first
scramble TO buy carried March TO S,i3,
May to S.44 and July 10 SAT. These fig
ures were top for the first hour and
We're soon superseded by prices to 6
points lower, under very heavy selling
for profits and active pressure from the
/ "reactonists." Throughout. the short
session speculation was very active and
