mand is quieter owing Hesitation

improved fuel conditions.
Copper held steady. although there
has been no especial improvement in
demand. Occasional inquiries ar ere
ported from domestic consumers. but
they APPEAR to have been slightly be-
low sellers views, and have resulted
in comparatively few transactions,
while export demand is still restrict

of pronounced buying power. In the mid
die session shorts were forced to cover

at net gains of 2 to 10 points. March

The opening was affected by overnight
selling orders and in the early trading

81 TO 81 points over the close of yester-
day. with March UP TO 27.56c and October
up to 26.o7c. october was tho strongest

rallies with May selling up from
27.75 to $500 but offerings increased
above the 2s cents level and that de-
livery closed at 27.Ss The general
market closed steady at net declines
OF 2 to 10 points.
The market opened unchanged to a
decline of 10 points under overnight
selling orders with March easing off
to s27.55 and July to Pas. At these
prices the market showed declines of
$50 to 1874 points as compared with
the high records of last Wednesday
and was a few points below the low
est figures touched on the sudden
break of last Monday. As on
Mondays break, however. an
increased trade demand was re-
ported below the 2S cents level for
May, both on the break of yesterday
afternoon and again this morning.
This helped to steady the early
market and prices rallied during the
middle of the morning and rebuying.
March sold up to 1890 and July to
27.77 making net advances of Is to
II points while October was relative
ly firm on the undoing of straddles
between old and new crop months.
That delivery advanced to 1854 or

quotations. AS prices worked above
the % cents level for May, offerings
showed tendency to increase and
there was another squirt of liquita-
tion which sent prices back to very
nearly the early low levels, late in
the morning. Trade demands in
creased, however, while there was a
final squirt of covering which gave
the market a steady tone at tho
close. Buying on the early decline
was encouraged by reports that yes
terday's break in the futures mar
ket had failed to weaken the domes-
tic cotton goods situation and there
were also bullish weekend adviees
from Manchester.
