clined. Throughout the remainder of the ses-
sion firm tone prevailed and the market
clt sed steady at almost the top notch The

though a number Of other influences tended to
inspire buying. One dispatch claimed that the
injury to the Argentina crop would amount to
per cent of the total crop. Rains were re-
ported in some sections of the winter wheat
belt but the wet weather was still not so
great as had been forecasted The official pre-
diction, however, was for rain extending from

character.
