The benchmark December contract settled 0.03 cent weaker at 75.60 cents a lb, having ranged from 75.90 to 75.33 cents. The rest of the board closed 0.03 to 0.10 cent lower. Follow-through fund buying carried December to a two-week high of 75.90 cents in early trade, but steady selling by producers squelched the rally. Prices lingered just over unchanged until the buying dried up in the afternoon and a surge of producer selling knocked the market below unchanged and to the day's low. The October/December spread remained steady at 0.15 cent. Analysts said that the failure to sustain gains made on Thursday suggests that the market may have put in a near-term high. Nearby support was pegged at 75.00 cents followed by the contract low of 73.20 cents. An improving U.S. crop could weigh on prices through the summer, analysts said. Players await the U.S. Department of Agriculture's monthly crop report, released August 12, for its next cue. An estimated 11,000 lots changed hands on the day compared with Thursday's official 13,226 lots. 280900 MET jul 97
