William Wright & Co. report [August 2]: 

 Fine Pard, — With small stocks and small supplies prices have again 

 advanced, with an active spot demand, and the market closes fully 2d. 

 per pDund dearer than last month. The advance has been entirely due 

 to scarcity, and there does not seem much chance at present for a 

 decline, but a good deal, of course, will depend on what action America 

 takes. Upriver fine closes firm at 4f. 11%^., and Islands at 4-r. ioj^z". 

 Receipts for the month are 1265 tons, including 240 tons Peruvian, 

 against 1500 tons last month and 1270 tons last year. Deliveries for 

 the month are 963 tons, against 830 tons last month and S55 tons 

 last year. 



Edmund Schluter & Co. report [August 17] : 

 Pards. — Our market has been limited, owing to short supplies, but 

 generally speaking, the tone may be described as strong. Bolivian fine 

 sold at 5-r. 0J2'/ @ 5* 2d. for spot, and 5.r @ 5.1. o%d. for delivery. 

 Spot fine hard, $s. 2d. paid, but there is practically nothing to be had in 

 this grade. Soft has again met with demand, and sales have taken 

 place at 41. \\%d. U P t0 5 s - The close is very strong, with buyers at 

 the best. There has been some speculative business in the more dis- 

 tant positions, at 4*. io%d. September-October; 4^. led., October- 

 November ; 4*. 91/., November-December. The two latter deliveries 

 declined to 4s. g\4d. @ 4*. 8J£</., with fairly free sellers, who have, 

 however, now withdrawn.

 linckrodt is chairman of the new company ; Mr. C. G. Grisar, vice 

 chairman ; Mr. A. Franck and Count E. Le Grelle directors ; Mr. E.
