William Wright & Co. report [November 2] : 



Fine Para. — With a strong demand from the trade, and especially 

 America, a very large business has been done, and a further advance of 

 3d. per pound has taken place. Stocks are extremely small, practically 

 reduced to a minimum; there is every probability of the demand con- 

 tinuing, and as the shippers in Brazil are paying much higher prices 

 than those ruling here and in New York, a still further advance in 

 values seems to be inevitable. How far the advance will go before being 

 checked remains to be seen, but. in our opinion, a return to the recent 

 low values is out tf the question. Closing value, hard find, as. Sd, 

 [=$1.13^]; soft, 4S. sd. [=$1.07^3]-
