domestic and foreign markets. The
appeal was generally construed as

ing. The downward tendency of the
market was emphasized by continued
and by decline in Liverpool quota
tions. The opening, which varied
from unchanged figures to 11s lower
May Lag to 1.4215 and July 1.24A tc
1.2o y, was followed by a moderate
further setback, and then by some.
thing of a reaction.
Corn and oats were relativel,
steady, owing. more or less to wei
weather likely to interfere with
field work. After opening u off to a
like advance. July 64N, the corr
market sagged a little, and then raj.

Announcement of a big decrease in
the visible supply total led to more
decided upturns in prices later. Be.
sides crop reports from Kansas and
Oklahoma were less optimistic. The

In subsequent dealings the corr

to selling pressure. The close was
