[August i, 1908. 



Liverpocl. 



WjLi.iA.M Wright & Co. report [July i] : 



Fine Para. — During the early part of the month prices declined id. per 

 pound, hut later on the market steadied, and clcses at id. per pound ad- 

 vance on the closing rates for May. The demand from the trade here has 

 been dull, but there has been a moderate demand from America; on balance 

 the market has been governed by speculators, .\part from this fact, there 

 is a strong imdercurrcnt of strength, and in view of small receipts and an 

 anticipated furtlier resumption of the American demand, holders of stock- 

 are quite prepared to wait, especially as money is cheap and prices consider- 

 ably lower than for some years past; and further, owing to the low prices 

 ruling, .\frican imports for the coming season are expected to show a heavy 

 decline.

R. O. Ahlers & Co. report [June 2^] : 



With the news of a considerable advance in the home markets the ex- 

 isting supply of upriver grades has been eagerly bought up at a slight 

 advance, and our market is now brought to a standstill on account of 

 want of stock. 



R. O. Ahlers & Co. report [July 9 1 : 



With the increasing prices holders of scrliio [upriver] have considerably 

 diminished their stocks here, as well as in the consuming markets. The 

 crop which finished on June 30 shows a deficiency of about 1 100 tens 

 against last year's receipts. Regarding the coming crop, there is every 

 appearance that it will be an early one, and with the beginning of next 

 month the first lots are expected from the Madeira. 



We are informed by the house of Scholz, Hartje & Co. that the 

 fo[lowing partners are retiring from the firm: Frank da Costa, 

 Arthur da Costa, Luiz da Costa and Cezar Jose de Figueiredo, 

 withdrawing a[l capital and profits belonging to them. The re- 

 maining partners. Waldemar Scholz and Frederico Hartje, with 

 N. H. Witt, will carry on the business as usual, with the same 

 capital as heretofore.
