 The corn market showed little response to the early advance in wheat sentiment in principal depressing feature was the in- crease in local receipts, arrivals today being more than what had been expected The late slump in wheat caused additional sell ing of corn which resulted in a weak mar ket at the close.

 Liverpool cables came in yesterday morn ing about as expected and advanced five or six points sterling before the close. New York opened few points up and made a further advance of about ten points. Opera tions were active andt there was a suffic- iently wide run of fluctuations to permit of good scalping.
 The crop situation continued to attract attention and there was disposition in some quarters to hold further operations in abeyance pending national ginners estimate which is due to be issued Friday noon. There is rumor among Montgomery cotton men that the figures of this report have already leaked and they will be s,35o.
