the hulls Is entirely absent at the moment,
and the bears, encouraged by the very
heavy movement, are selling the market
down with perfect confidence.
While the market for the rnw material
Is displaying weakness, the market for
manufactured goods Is growing In strength,
with no let up In the demand In sight, ns
