mnrkot had a steady opcnlnc today at
8 to 32 points advance. The buying
came chiefly from local houses,' based
on heavy rains in sections of Texas,
where picking is in progress, and from
Liverpool interests.
Houses with spot connections were
large sellers of December both on the
call and afterward. If the steel strike
had any effect at all. it was rather
bullish, on the idea that fewer men had
gone out than the leaders had pre
dieted.
