 Ceylon, weighing in all about S tons. The quality generally was 

 good, but there were very few really nice sale lots. The scrap 

 was mostly mixed, of which there was some very poor lots on 

 show. A little lot of 10 cases black Java sheet, being badly 

 heated, only realized a low price. The demand was good, but in 

 sympathy with lower prices (or ordinary Par'i, lower rates had to 

 be accepted for fine biscuits — bs. 2d.@bs. ^^id. being the range of

William Wright & Co. report [September i]: 

 Fine Para. — Demand on spot has been dull, with only slight fluctua- 

 tions ; closing value 5.1. yd., with not much inquiry (or Upriver. There 

 is a good demand for Islands and little offering; buyers at ^s. bd., 

 sellers 5.;. b',id. There has been a good demand for delivery, but in 

 the present statistical position sellers are chary of offering, especially for 

 distant. To-day's values are September, 5J. b'^id , September-October, 

 5J. 6|</., October-November, is. $i(d , November-December, jj 5</. 

 America still keeps quiet, and we are of opinion that when she does en- 

 ter the market, although she will not rush prices, the demand thus cre- 

 ated will have the effect of preventing any serious decline in values. In 

 Brazil the demand is strong and active, all supplies finding ready buyers 

 at prices considerably over those ruling here.
