ton futures rallied to new seasonal
highs today on heavy trade and
commission house buying stimuli
ated by announcement of Price

upward movement was resumed in
late trading.
A closing furry of buying was
partly attributed to traders who

that they will be increased from
So to $40 a bale as of tomorrow.
Final prices were 10 cents to
