The demand was moderately active,
but the opening advance met consid-
cradle realizing and there was also
some selling by houses with New Or
leans connections. Offerings, how
ever, were well enough taken to give
the market a fairly steady undertone,
and July sold around 11.19 and Octo-
ber ll.34 at the end of the first half
hour. Liverpool cables reported dull
market with the trade awaiting fresh
incentives and buying checked by the
wider Liverpool-New York parity.
Houses with Liverpool connections
were buyers here during the early
trading.
