William Wright & Co. report f April i]: 



Fine Para. — During the early part of the month there was a strong 

 demand at advancing prices and a new record was created, 5j. 9</. 

 [=about $1.40] being paid for hard cure Fine ; since then, under the 

 influence of heavy receipts and a pause in the demand, prices have re- 

 acted and the market closes quiet at 5^. i'iid. for Upriver. Whether 

 this month's receipts are at the expense of next remains to be seen ; if 

 they are we shall certainly see a further advance. For forward delivery 

 there has been a good demand, principally for Upriver fine at current 

 rates, closing values for Upriver up to May-June 5j. bd.
