This is a technical liquidation. There are large numbers of non-commercial (contracts) out there.

The reason why we're seeing stronger numbers is this new storm coming in the Caribbean which could cause disruptions to the crude oil facilities in the Gulf of Mexico.

Chinese readers are buying books in translation, particularly non-fiction about China, in large numbers.

These numbers are slightly dated, but they show that the inventory liquidation period is over, and that (the) drag on the economy is probably behind us.

The market would probably be weaker without these concerns.

Mild weather is one of the factors, and we're going into the heating-oil season with high stocks.
