the crop, placing 1t at around 11,94O0OO bales.
Trading wac exceedingly active but at the ad-
ditional declines some conservative people seemed
to be. buyin. the theory that very large
official estimate had been discounted and the

south reflected stu easier SPOT market and
steadied up few points the undertone seemed
very unsettled and nervous
