their spndles to-day. Prices, despite
favorable crop report, climbed well
above the long looked-for 35-cent level

from the low level Of the previous week
and Of more than IN cents a pound
from the bottom touched in the re-

reactions on profit taking, climbed
lteadily upward. Exports thus far this
