The opening was rather quiet. even to
the bUus, as Liverpool did not meet the
advance Of yesterday, but the strength
in December after the opening was the
feature of the initial trading. This OPP

there was very ltttle for sale This
brought about a wave Of short covering.
However, the ring sold on rallies. Prices
receded during the late forenoon trading
10 to IA points from the early range.
Later during the afternoon trading the
buying Of Liverpool here rendered the

the sudden upturn was chiefly due to the
