was soon more than offset by reports
that the predicted rains in Argentina
had failed to appear, and that the
drought damage was growing worse.

Nc to 1c lower, with December s1.51&
to $1.52A and May $1.51 to s1.52A
were followed by an upturn to well
above yesterdays finish.
The bears were handicapped by gos-
sip that although threshing in the
northwest had been virtually complet-

was extremely light and that farmers
seemed to have adopted. the holding
policy, despite the urgent demand for
flour. The close was unsettled. 2bc
