the fact that the National committee

There was less talk about tenders on
October contracts. and rumors of an
important short interest in that po-
sitiou led shorts to cover up.
Sentiment here was more bullsh
for the most part, helped by better
tone of foreign exchange. There was
a marked falling of in offerings gen

sources were among the buyers OF
contracts. sSaies If the southern spot
