heavy southern offerings OF spots in that
market. good weather IN the south over
Sunday and favorable crop accounts from
Georgia and Alabama. Covering was
very active around the initial figures and
prices rallied 10 or l. points from the
lowest right after the call. but the south
was a very heavy seller, and the market
later i'm the first hour was nervous ana
unsettled with the active months about
III to Is points below the closing figures
Of Saturday.
The rally from the early low point was
followed by renewed weakness later in
the forenoon under continued heavy
southern selling. beariSh reports from in
terror spot markets. and the absence OF
any more aggressive support than the
covering OF short and a little buying by
spot people. which was attributed to
spiuners. Stop loss orders were uncover

ground on which he asks divorce is deser-
ton, and Mrs. Twigg is cited to appear

moved from the position of warden by
the board of inspectors in 1896. His con

to a hospital for treatment after he was
alleged to have made threats to pasSers-

treat him and he was placed in charge of
