ment and caused an immediate break
of $3.50 a bale on the weakest months.
The pressure of the short side, how
ever. was not long maintained because
Of the desire to even up over the
holidays.
The high prices of the week were
reached on Thursday. and the low
prices were made on Monday. At the
higest the trading months were 12S
to l42 points over the previous weeks
close. and at the lowest they were
43 to AZ points under. The market
advanced chiefly on the demand from
covering shorts who did not care to
carry their commitments over the bu-
reau report Last prices for the week

some interests to make commitments

a seasonal lull in business and industry.
Philadelphia.-A strong tendency to-
ward caution exists on the mart of
buyers.
cleveland.-There is a good deal OF
hesitancy with respect to new under

Observation-Disclosures is showing some
hesitation. as many buyers wish to
