Indit. ferent weather continues and reports speak of the acreage, reductions as being accomplished owing to the organization amongst planters for this purpose being more seriously adopted than in any previous season. The outlook from the American point of view is that the future is likely to bring about a higher range of values, but whether this will be so or not is a very open question. In Manchester the tone of the market continues to improve although no great weight of business has been done. Enquiry from all markets is much more serious, offers are nearer to today's values than they have been for a very long time and it cannot now be long PARIS, May 19. before general buying recommences.
