pRratively quiet. Around S7.2Sc for

enough realizing to cause reactions Of
10 or Is points, but the market held
very steady early in the afternoon and
within , or 4 points Of the best.
Offerings remained light and the early
afternoon market sold up to 37.50c for
January and 80. S5c for May or about
IS to 80 points net higher on continued
covering and trade buying. while De-
Cember, after selling at SO. Acc, or l23
points net higher, broke to $751; soc on one
or two transactions. Later months held
