ket was subjected TO heavy selling pres
sure early In the day. Local and out
side longs were free sellers. and com
mission houses also were active upon
the bear Side OF the market. About noon
the bulls made a determined effort to
bring about a rally, and forced prices
up TO point about 3 cents above the
low mark Of the day. The statement OF

be 100 1000. 600 bushels as compared with
the crop of last year, as estimated by
the government officials. was one of the
factors that caused the rally. Another
was the report from New York and Win

taken In those places for export.
