Button & Co.'s wire says: : ' "The feature of. the market today was the con tinued buying of Mitchell & Gwathmey.: This firm has been the principal buyer for the last five days. This buying was in evidence on the opening today, and continued during the middle of. the afternoon, but the offerings proved heavy enough to check; the , upward .movement after active months showed a net advance lof B@ls points, and prices then reacted to around the pre vious close. The decline was helped along by pri vate reports of an easier. spot situation in the Interior. McFadden was a leading seller. Fu tures have experienced lan advance of I about 60 points from the recent \ low levels, i while spots have only sympathized to the extent of about 15 to 20 points. Liverpool is showing less disposi tion to advance and the difference, which was as much as 106 points over * New York early last week, has narrowed to around 83. to 90 points, and unless there Is i a more urgent ; foreign de mand soon it is evident that efforts to further manipulate an advance will prove increasingly difficult." - Spot closed quiet.
