 In the future market there was the us- ual dullncss which precedes the announce ment of a government condition report and until the report was published at Il o'clock, the market showed little activity Futures opened 2G3 points down, with tendency to ease off somewhat further on the probability of scattered showers for the belt today and tomorrow. A re- port of about IT had been anticipated and when 75 was announced there was an immediate advance In values. October which stood at 1922 Just before the re- port was read, jumped to 194s and then went to 1..5O, which was the highest point 1t reached. As a result of profit taking and good weather reports, slight recession in values followed At the close which was steady, the active months stood II points above the close yesterday.
