the first rush of liquidation the market
rallied 7 to S points from the lowest

traded by the reports of firmness in
the South, although one. wire was re
ceived from Mississippi that holders
would be free sellers within the re x*
ten days.
After the Wall street selling orders
hakt been executed the market ruled
steadier, rallying to about the closing
figures of lust night. Subsequent
fluctuations were irregular and trading
less active, with prices about 2 to
