Spot premiums were reduced 2 to 3
cents, with practically all contract ,
grades selling around July prices. The j
receipts were estimated 390 cars, the ,
largest in the season, while country!
offerings to arrive were reported lib
eral. The decline was due entirely to
this factor which is not an unusual oc
' rurrence when the f.rst movement j
