The market opened 3/8 of a cent lower for all deliveries as com- pared with Wednesday's closing rates.

Easier advices received from New York were responsible for the market displaying an easy undertone throughout the day. Early in the morning some business was transacted on basis of quoted rates, but later in the session the market became wenk due to selling. pressure, which mainly was attributed to speculative accounts.. whilst prices gradually declined by 3/8 of a cent due to the reserved attitude of buyers.

Closing tone was quiet.

Market eased on general, nervousness and stop-loss selling. Poor support.

NEW YORK COTTON

The market was weak throughout the day on liquidation, which was Influenced by the weakness of securities and on foreign selling. Traders were apathetic, due to the fall of Barcelona, the seat of the Spanish Government, and are now awaiting fresh European de- velopments. The market closed at the lowest levels for the day and the undertone is uncertain,

NEW YORK RUBBER

Prices declined at the opening and were further depressed on adverse cables from Singapore and London. The castness of the foreign markets was due to nervousness regarding the political situation in Europe and brought about liquidation on the local ex- change. Factories. however bought on the scale-down.

CHICAGO WHEAT

The market opened weak on adverse Liverpool advices and European uncertainties. Subsequently, prices rallied on lack of moisture in the South-West area. The rally, however, was short- $1.80 $780

lived and prices again declined owing to liquidation, presumably to di, protect current holdings. The lack of any follow-through on the $100 part of buyers was a most discouraging factor.
