 William Wright & Co. report [September ij: 

 Fiiit Pard. — There has been a strong demand during the month, 

 and prices have advanced 3</. per pound ; this was due to small receipts 

 and American demand, there being practically no stock in the States. 

 If receipts remiio small we think prices must still further advance, until 

 the heavier receipts coming in have their due effect on the market. 

 Market closes steady, with buyers of Upriver Fine at 3^. 2l2'l- I sellers 

 3J. yi. ; buyers Islands Fine at 3J. i</. , sellers 3^. I'/id. For delivery a 

 good business has taken place, and a number of exchanges have eased 

 the pressure somewhat. African. — The demand has continued during 

 the month, and all good grades have met a ready sale at advanced prices. 

 Sierra Leone and Cape Coast Lumps have risen \J. per pound, and very 

 little of either grade now offers.
