In regard to the auctions there was very little change from a week ago. This week's were the last auctions for payment prior to China New Year, and so it was only natural that prices should be weaker. The fluctuations, how- ever, were within very small com- pass, and where values declined it was owing to the generally ex pected absence of orders for this auction: It is fully anticipated that the next week or two will see a complete recovery of values.
