Nothing apparently is happening TO
arouse activity in the market which is
regarded by some observers as encour-
aging to bcarish ideas. The theory is
that so long as there rs no rush To get
raw material the burden is on the hold
er ana chances are increasingly against
him being able to market the unsold
part of his crop before another supply
VIII be available. However, it Is SIG
ntfic0nt that sellers are cautious and
on the dips there Is steady absorption
OF contracts. Whether this is to con-
tinue until something induces more de-
mand for the actual is problematical.
SO far If holders are feeling concerned
over their position they are keeping il
well under cover.
Liverpool at first was disappointing,
but there was little to explain the fetI-
ing in the foreign mart. Before closing
however, recovery took place and finals

press careful observers much as to the
probability Of the entire year showing

taking into account the unsettled state
