due to improved Manchester buying. Shortly
after the opening, however, favorable wealth
er conditions again dominated by the mar
ket and local selling brought about reac-
tons of to 6 points which weakened May
to II. 93, and July to 1874, or = to points
under the previous close.

bearish views of traders as to crop prepare
lions and induced further se!llhg al Ini u
dav which carried the list off about IL 10
