Easier ruling of later cables from Liverpool and a more favor able view of the weather seemed re sponsible for part of the pressure which sent Mav off to 20.47 and new l Octover tc 19.87. A private report estimating nrob able increase in acreage at 4.7 per cent, and the area to be planted at 49.137.000 acres, led to a little more selling. May declined to 20.40 and new October to 19.81, making net declines of about 18 to 22 points on the more active positions. Business tapered off at the lower level, however, and the market was quiet later, with prices steadier on covering. At midday, active months showed rallies of 7 to 8 points from the lowest.
