the decline was further augmented by
predictions of an increase in tha vialhia
supply on Monday and disquieting rumors
reg-arding tha Argentine sttuat.cn. It
was said that prices there were declining
rapidly, but when the official cable showed
a loss or oniy a nan a cent, our market
rallied, accompanied by short coverlne-.
The failure of Liverpool to respond to our
advance of yesterday waa due no doubt,
in larg-s part, to the appreciation in ex-
.n. Domestic news was colorless, cash
markets holding well on fairly liberal re- ,
eeipta. At the moment, foreign advices
occupy the center of the stag, but It is
said that crop conditions soon will come
to the fore. Milling Interests in the north
west express confidence that the middle
of this month will witness a material
improvement In the flour trade which
will broaden steadily for the balance of
the season. Anything of this sort would
cause rapid disappearance of supplies at
terminal markets, as arrivals are scheduled
to drop off very soon, we believe advant-
are should be taken of such reactions as '
took place today to make purchases. J
