The market was quiet, with small business,
NEW YORK COTTON: Continued Trade buying, together with the lightness "of hedging steadied a very narrow market Worth Street did very little business because of unwillingness of mills to. reduce prices in accordance with buyers views.
NEW YORK RUBBER: The market today reflected the better feeling on other markets. Scattered dealer offerings were taken,
CHICAGO WHEAT: There has been some export demand which is believed to be at the expense of our Pacific exports. Adverse European crop news and buying by cash interests substained the market today.
