In regard to the financial situation, Albert B. Beers 

 (broker in India-rubber, No. 68 William street. New York) 

 reports : 



"During November there has been very little demand for paper, 

 and only at high rates — over 6 per cent., on account of the strong 

 money market, and banks having their funds actively employed. 

 These conditions are likely to continue for a few weeks "

 continued good demand — prices advanced to ^s- ■^d. for new. and 

 5J. 4rf. for old Upriver fine Bolivian, with considerable of the latter
