We think the action of rails is quite reassuring. As an outcome of the conference in Washington to- morrow, the labour motor disputes may have quiten bearing on the market, Wheat: Nervous, the bulk of the trade being switching. A renewal of the dust storms in Kansas and Nebraska checked the reaction.
Cotton: After a higher opening, prices reacted on smal Southern selling and liquidation. The Bankhead Bill has been delayed until later in the week.
Silver: Barely steady. There was increased liquidation through commission-houses and banks on the up-turns. The Trade seems to benwait- ing definite developments in Washington. As a matter of gossip we ander- stand that the London rubber people are very bullish, predicting a rise to fifteen cents within a month or six weeks. Business Done: 1,£70,000 shares.
