Flu lures opened steady, 5 to s points below the close Saturday, as a result of the approachS of the holidays and the some- what depressing effect of the examination of local bank by the New Orleans Clearing House association, although the bank was declared to be absolutely sol vent. Practically all of the developments during the day were of a bearish nature and the trend of the market was down. ward Under the pressure of larger re- ceipts and the almost complete domina- tion of the market by the holiday feel ing during the late session there was further recession in values, and at the close, which was steady. the active months ranged from 15 to 2l points below tbe close Saturday.
