The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to points, which was about
as due on the cables. There was some
early irregularity, but recent sellers
showed disappointment over the failure
OF the action of the federal grand jury
to weaken the determination of the old
crop bulls and with many bullish private
reports reaching the trade as to new
crop conditions prices gradually worked
higher.

preston on sentiment. At any rate of
ferings In the local market were very
light and during the afternoon the mar

IA to 81 points The close was within a
point or two of the best. There was
little buying here during the day from
western and southern sources, while local
operators appeared to be doing very lit
