operate in view Of the prevailing price
uncertainty have acted as pretty e.

TO a greater extent than previously
noted, manufacturers restricted to the
barest needs. To find a parallel to the
present quiet. indeed. it is necessary
TO go back 10 the period following the
outbreak Of the great war.
Country buying Is rather quieter.
