in favor of boys learning Russian
rather than Greek. Il have quite for

much trouble with the dead languages.
1t must be merely because learned men
do not wish to lessen the value of what

was a renewal of yesterdays buying
movement at the opening of the cot

were 3 to 13 points net higher, with
December relatively firm on covering
by foreign shorts. Houses with Liver
pool and continental connections were
also buyers of the later months. and
the advance had the encouragement of
the continued steadiness of interior
spot markets. There was a good deal
of realizing for over the holidays, how
ever, and the market eased off or 5
points from the best during the early
trading.
Futures opened steady. as follows:
December, 7.40; March, 7.76: May, 1917;
July, s.12; October, s.3s.

lower during the middle of the day

local selling for a reaction which may
have been partly inspired by reports of
southern hedge selling of May and
July.
There was covering and moderate
commission house demand at the de-
cline.
