" During the first half of October the demand for paper con- 

 tinued very light, and rates ran from 6'/i @. 7% per cent., but 

 the latter part of the month has shown a slight improvement 

 in demand, and rates eased a little to about 6 @ 7 per cent, for 

 the usual average of rubber paper." 



Antwerp.

 that stocks here have been reduced. C. SCHMID & CO.
