Additional black rust reports were received from the North west but many advices were also received claiming that the new crop is now too far advanced to be seriously injured by the blight.
 The denials of damage were chiefly re- sponsible for the heaviness of the market although unresponstve cables. a slackening in export business and a atdeelne at Minneapo- lis helped to depress prices Yhe princi- pal selling was by few influential holders.
