Liverpool. 

 William Wright & Co. report [September 1] : 



Fine Para. — The market has been strong and active, and prices have 

 advanced by about 3d. per pound. This has been brought about by the 

 smallness of stocks, the small supplies at Para, and a good demand prin 

 cipally from America — in other words, the advance has not been specu- 

 lative, but is simply owing to the ordinary law of ' ' supply and demand." 

 Stocks are very small (especially in medium grades), and we anticipate a 

 further advance next month.
