Liverpool was easy because OF am
pie arrivals, but conditions in Eu-
rope were considersd bullish. The

effected by he blockade. will require
100000. bu per week and most Of
this must come from America. Crops
In Europe are late and In France
some damage has been done by rain
TO an already short acreage. Ocean
frelghts are again scarce. Offerings
In Liverpool were sufficient to bring
an easy tone.
The market has been hesitating for
some days and price changes this
week are small There has been a
great deal or scare and prices are
believed TO be as high as apprehen-
sion can put them. There must now
De some actual damage shown be-
fore khe price will go higher. Many
in the trade believe a marked i'm
provement in weather and the eIimi-
nation or the rust scare would bring
only moderate decline because OF
other conditions under the market

expected without rust damage.
