The market sold off easily during the i late forenoon, and found very little sup port Rears wore talking free offerings of spots and the poor demand for the I 'actual caused the market to weaken. .

There ; are many reasons for the weakness: in j creased offerings of new shipments, a j somewhat remarkable indifference on the part of mills toward these offers, but. mainly. Hie very favorable weather. While continued and extensive rains at this time last year gave rise to considera ble actual damage by insects, this year is noted the absence of danger from this source, owing to the continued fair weather, which checks insect propaga tion and activity. The map shows cloudy weather in south and west Texas and the east portion of the Atlanties. Moderate scattered show -1 ers fell in the north central and north ' eastern part of the belt, with some good rains in North Carolina where most need ed. Elsewhere fair and dry weather pre vailed.
