of yesterday but recovered prompt
iy.
Pur market at the opening met
-■ome^lefU^overntelung^fders . . from
yesterday but these were easily ab
sorbed and first prices proved the
lowest of the day. Advices from
the interior showed that farmers
were resisting lower prices, while
buying by mills was a feature in
the future market, no doubt a case
of cause and effect.
Prospect of more unsettled weath

taking, the close is 40 to 45 higher
than last night, far months gaining
moat
Weather continues an important
influence but we favor purchases on
all good setbacks.
