AH Unes of Produce and Grain Are , Dull Salmon Pishing Stopped by Storms. SEATTT.F1, Nov. 21. (Special.) BuMnes was dull In the produce and grain markets today, rain keeping many buyers out of the market. There were heavy reeeipta of potatoes, seven cara being unloaded before noon.

DEMAND FALLING AWAY News of the Day Xot Altogether Fa vorable Break In Tennessee Copper Has Bad Efrect on Sentiment. NEW YORK, Nov. 21. There waa a further revival today of the unsettled speculative sentiment which caused the heavy break In prlcea early yesterday. The strong rally which developed lata yesterday was not extended. On the other hand, there were signs of supporting measures for a time on decline which served to steady the tone. When the steadiness waa secured, the market fell Into neglect. The result was to Invite the renewed attack which caused the weak closing. .A disturbing factor was the violent break In Tennessee Coppen without explanation In newa developmenta. Thia Block haa sprung Into prominence In the speculation In the last few weeks. The collapse In the stock today made a bad Impression as a possibfe index of the unhealthy speculative con ditions of e market. The general weak ness developed after this Incident.
