Radical Bearishness had full sway
during most of the week. The senti-
ment was precipitated by the calami-
ty threatening Great Britain in the
form of a general strike. While the
situation is still critical, the cancel
lation of strike orders by all Trade
Unions excepting the miners has re-
moved considerable apprehension, and
from most authorities rather SAN
g.l;ne predictions of settlement are
now made.
New record low marks were made
in all grains in wave of liquidation.
Crop news continued to be optimistic
with large promises o. new Winter
Wheat, and this was another element
in creating the seasons low prices.
There was in fact nothing on which
prices could be advanced until Friday
when the break occurred in the gen.
eral British strike and was followed
by freezing temperature in the South
west, unfavorable weather generally
and the passage by Congress Of the
emergency tariff bill which is design
ed mainly as protection for farm pro-
ducts
No additional export sales of inn
portance are MOTEL and from now on
it seems quite likely thas with. our
