sold off to 13e. or a net loss of 81 points,
while new crop positions broke 9 TO Il

records for the season. Continued
favorable crop accounts and confident
predictions of a favorable August
bureau seemed to add to the demorali-
zation OF tho old long interest. and
while there was good rae buying on
a decline the South continued a heavy
seller.
The market continued active late IN
the forenoon, but speculative 'iquida-
ton seemed 10 he a little less urgent,
and prices ruled a little steadier In the
main as a result of trade buying and
covering. The market at midday was
