instant. Thia left all ' those having any ebli
gauona tuiat ending in December to settle before
12 o'ckiek today.
Liquidation of January had" a deprewkig
influence en price, carrying notation off 25
point durmg the morning. December opened
with trading at 23.65. a decline of 20 point
over sight. With thia pressure on near posi
