line new peace terms. Offerings OF

quickly ensued. Opening quotations,
which ranged from 1 to 5H higher,
with May at 2.75 and July at 2.22 to
2.25 y, were followed by an additional
jump of / above initial top figures and
later succession of sharp setbacks
and recoveries

mand, however, was only of a scatter
ing order. Corn, after opening Y to

gains before beginning to react.

announcement was made of the dis
covery OF eight or ten properties, stu
ated in the northeastern part of the

other district had been overlooked.
