Tills figure was somewhat larger than ex- peeled and led to selling around the opening and a loss of ats»nt tfi jiotnts. A favorable turn In the weather i*rer Sunday likewise suppressed support. Showers were quite general and of satisfactory extent hi the territories. Arkansas ami the central .states. Partly cloudy to fair weather prevailed over Texas, lull teui|»eritfnre* are lower and Indi cation* point to sliuwo'* In the next forty- eight hours. Trading held around 12.67 for OetolHw during the first hour, but a sharp bleak of another 19 |m»Iii(* occurred on pub lieatlon of the crop report.

Needles* to say that this condition figure represents e very rritlenl outlook for full supplies, and Aveatber condition* must Is* perfect until after the frost period to Jus- tIfv nnv lienrlsh om-rntlons on It.
