year. However, as such small area was

market as e clearly evident that 1t had
become technically weak. In the slump that
followed December and January were forced

was encountered.
The receipts have continued, heavy in the

definite figure TO the ultimate outcome.
Estimates ranging from Il, 100000 to 14,500,o00
are heard from various quarters.
The bears, are not generally aggressive and
the principal speculative interest is being
formed on the long side which indicates that
the public is not in sympathy with the larger
estimates. With the crop still admittedly late

damage from freeze during the first haH
