share OF tho offerings selling as much as lbc
higher, with scattering sales OF the hgnt

In other words, there were sales all the
way from 5000 higher to quarter higher.

Compared with week ago prices are on

way out OF line on last weeks close and

without precedent at this season Of the year.
Todays top, for instance, Is exactly $2oS
higher than was ever paid In November up
TO this year.
