vance of seven points to a decline
of two points. Initial demand based
on relatively steady cables and re-
ports of rains or showers in the

by a renewal of the selling of later
last week. This appeared to come
from commission houses and brok-
crs with Wall Street connections,
while some stop orders We're uncov-

off to 1926, with active months
generally selling about so to "a

the execution Of the stock orders,
however, and the market became
quieter, with prices steadier.
