NEW YORK, July 17.-(PEThe

decline Of ! 10 IL points. which was
only a partial response to the ca
bles, as there was some buying on
reports Of rains in Mississippi, and
covering in belief that the recen.
break had strengthened the techni-
cal position.
Prices worked up a few points,
but the advance 10 21.34 for October
met increased offerings, ard the
market Don eased off under a re-
newal Of liquidation. October de-
elined to Pills, a net loss of 90
points. and the market was nervous
and unsettled at the end of the first
hour.
Liquidation continued with the
market under considerable pressure
later in the morning. Tired longs
and houses with both Liverpool and
continental connections were among
the sellers. Trade buying and cover
ing absorbed the contracts on a scale
down, but the market remained ner-
vous with the decline extending 70
2l.06 for October, or about 25 to 80
points net lower. Prices at midday
were within a point or two of this
