west Texas; cooler.
Liverpool quotes futures and spots % points
higher; sales. 5000 spots. Political of
many. but comment in the foreign press looks
upon this change rather in favor Of the military
party and against peace. Carranza's new tax
can mines and other Industries have been closed.
This is part of the eXplana ton for the rapid rise
in the price of silver.
Weekly export statement correct adds &c, 457
bales.
Spots here are quiet and lower to trade on
the decline in futures. Texas advices show
more trading in offerings and anxiety TO
sell is expressed in the cheap basis asked.
