They said steady selling by producers eroded the fund buying that carried the contract to the day'shigh of 75.45 cents in early dealings. The contract closed 0.08 cent firmer at 74.86 cents per lb, having ranged from 74.45 to 74.75 cents. The rest of the board finished 0.10 weaker to 0.12 cent higher. An estimated 15,000 lots changed hands on the day compared with Thursday's official 6,087 lots. Prices are expected to remain in their recent range between 75.00 and 72.00 cents basis the December contract. Players await the U.S. Department of Agriculture's August supply and demand data, the first survey-based estimates of the season. Meanwhile, players dismissed Hurricane Danny which swept over the tip of Louisiana early Friday. The storm system is expected to bring heavy rains to Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia over the next several days, weather forecasters said. Tropical Depression 5 was forming east of the Lesser Antilles today but meteorologists said it is too soon to predict whether it will hit the U.S. 211058 MET jul 97
