Liverpool. 



William Wright & Co., report [February 1] : 



Fine Para. — The market has been active, mainly owing to speculative 

 manipulation, with considerable fluctuation in price. During the early 

 part of the month prices declined 7d. per pound, but this has since been 

 fully recovered and values at the close are about the same as last month. 

 The late advance is mainly due to the combination of Brazilian receivers. 

 How long they will be able to force up prices time will tell, but for the 

 present the tendency is towards a further enhancement of values. Para 

 receipts are :^mall and tlie crop at present is 2,290 tons less than last 

 season. There is talk of a permanent shortage this season: time will prove 

 if this is correct. Closing values; Upriver 5.r. 7d. [=$1.36]; Islands 

 U. [ = $1.22].
