The advent of rains and storms in Texas
brought about easier prices abroad. These
rains are very* much needed In the Texas
belt, and ws believe have come lust In the
nlrk of time. We think this will cause a
set-back to prices for tbe time being. Fluc

continue in Texas on to how far tbe decline

Tbe gold exports are expected to contlpue

pool. A strong pool la buying Reading and

buy It near this figure, using the stop-order.
