the market quickly eased of to IL
points under liquidation and southern
selling. Expectations OF a bearish crop
estimate from travelling expert may
have encouraged the early selling move
ment, in connection with private wires
from Galveston claiming a less active
spot demand. The weatehr map showed
practically no rain in the south and early
indications pointed to little or no pre-
cipitation.
Some trade buying developed on the
early decline which steadied the market
during the middle of the morning, but
nothing more than slight rallies occurred
and prices at midday were about to 9
points net lower.
The market was comparatively quiet
during the early afternoon with prices
ruling or points under yesterdays
closing There did not seem to be as
much southern selling here as early sell
ers had expected and the rally from the
early low point reflected some covering
