On the basis of average, the market looked to be in a more or less critical spot At the close and, unless industrial shares offer resistance at this point, we would look for increase bearishness.t

Silver: Futures reacted at the outset, but steadied later on renewal of scattered Commission House support, some of which was credited to Foreign accounts. The foreign markets were steadier, but turned reac ..tional at the close.
