COTTON: To-day's was a session of quiet trading and," though some support was noticed from the Trade, prices eased slightly. Un- certainties with regard to Washington and European developments are keeping many traders on the side-lines.
RUBBER: In a featureless market, prices moved downwards on lack of support and on free offerings from the primary markets.
WHEAT; The easiness of the Winnipeg market and a poor demand for export, together with reports of peace moves in Europe caused an easier feeling here and the market was dull and lethargic in the absence of any stimulating influences;
