er reports indicated that the worst Of the
gulf storm had not worked as far east
ward as expected, but rains or showers
were more or less genera, with heavy
precipitation In parts Of the central belt.
and during the early trading prices sold
up to about the closing figures of last
night on the cid crop and to a net adj
vance Of Ja6 points ON new crop positions,
which we're Influenced by continued heavy
covering and fresh buying, based on the
reports of further delays in planting and
claims that trade interests were buying
as a hedge against early new crop re-
quirements.
Selling became very heavy on the
early bulge. not only in the way Of real
iZing, but there were also local operations
for a reaction following the publication
Of the western belt forecast, which tend
ed TO confirm readers Of the weather map
in their idea that the gulf storm is work
ing northward out of the belt. a few
stop orders were uncovered on the de-
cline. which carried prices off to a net
loss of 1Ha1S points on the old crop and
of SAP points on new crop positions, but
there was good buying on q scale down.
and while much less active the market at
midday was a point two up from the
lowest. The eastern belt forecast was
for showers tonight and tomorrow in the
