two points higher, to one point lower.
The room contingent appeared to be very
mixed in it's ideas as to the Immediate
course of the market, owing to the ex-
ceptionally conflicting character of in
1iuences at work. and devoted operations
almost exclusively to working out of
former ventures. The English cables
were considerably better than expected,
futures closing net unchanged to u point
higher, whereas a decline of IL points
had been quite generally anticipated by
trade here. Crop advices from the East
crn belt reported moderate rains. Eu-
rope and the South sent small selling or
ders and commission houses as rule adj
vised constituents to take profits, be-
iieving some further decline was at hand
Whereas August managed to stiffen to
Sac on the call, later sales were effected
at sharp decline from that figure. Re
ceipts continued much smaller than look
ed for, but had little weight as an in
fiuence. Disappointing reports came to
hand from Southern Spot markets and

broadening. The official weather forecast
gave neither side special advantage.
