The re -1 every in Liverpool today was partly due o the fear of a further disturbance to shipping by the threatened dock strike at ’ lalveston. Many look for a widening in ■r- market parity. The weather over the 1 olidays was favorable, mostly fair and "arm. except in the Western states, where it was cloudy with some light scattered showers. Indications point to unsettled weather with showers in the " estern states, continued fair and warm generally in central and eastern states. -he fair, warm weather checks insect damage and promotes maturity. 1 ’ur market opened about 74 points i :g!ier in sympathy with the advance in .'verpool and New York, but when the eause of the advance in foreign markets, 'he possibility of a disturbed export movement by labor troubles, became ap preciated, our market eased and sold »' ’imes under New York.
