SEPTEMBER
OCT.-DEC. JAN./MARCH APRIL-JUNE
The market was closed. NEW YORK COTTON:
The market reflects the continuation
of poor exports and increased hedge-selling. The Government loan is not yet a market factor, although it would ultimately tighten the "Spot" situation.
NEW YORK RUBBER;
Market closed.
CHICAGO WHEAT: Scattered commission house selling at the opening caused a decline. The volume of business was small and prices rallied on the absence of selling pressure.
