Ing was also reported on the early rally
which carried October contracts up TO

was the relative strength OF the near
month which reflects the comparatively
small stocks here combined with APP
prehensions that unfavorable weather
would delay teh new crop movement
while there also appeared to be a
rather more optimistic feeling over the
goods trade outlook. The announce

however, and the midday market was
irregular as result of renewed real
