upward turn to-day on heavy buying sellers being
conspicuous by their absence. As was expected
Liverpool led the way with unusually heavy mr.

duced abroad by the ontinned appearance Of the
small crop estimates in al directions and the
strong possibility n the bureau figures next week

spectators whose active stock market
experience dates back more than a score

the present market is that Wall street is

instead Of pessimism and despair.
