We think it was due to a belief that the Administration's announcement of a credit expansion and monetary programme will be shortly forthcoming.
Wheat: Opened weak but, with offerings light, the recovery in the securities market induced some commission-house buying, which disclosed the over-sold position, prices rallying.
Cotton Hedge selling, early in the day," was bought by the Trade and the final tone was very steady, with sentiment more friendly, Fra Silver: This market opened dull, and continued to rule dull, but the andertone was steady. The firmness of gold prices promoted scattered week-end covering.
