June 17. — The market for Para sorts has shown increased depression, 

 prices having declined in a fortnight about i%d. per pound. Toward 

 the close, however, renewed firmness has prevailed, and most of the 

 drop has been recovered. A fair business has been done, including fine 

 hard down to 4s. 8J4V., and since at is. qd. and buyers, chiefly new 

 delivery. Medium kinds have met a rather slow demand, being in- 

 fluenced by the dullness of Para, and little business has been done. No 

 auction this week. 



Ceylon. — At the auction on June 10, twenty-four packages were 

 offered and sold. Fine biscuits (from Para seed) sold at 5s. @ 5s. id : 

 fair to good, but dark in color, at 4s. g</ @ 4s. lod.; scrap, good to fine 

 clean, at 4*. $d. @ 4s. %%.d.
