On the whole the quality of the offerings was a little disappointing. 



There was fair competition for the better descriptions on the 

 basis of last sales rates, and in a few cases slight advances were 

 recorded for some good lots. 



The highest price, viz., 5/8$ per lb. was realised for some fine 

 pale crepe. 



Scrap and the lower grades of crepe were inclined to be some- 

 what neglected. 



A good proportion of the sale was withdrawn for private treaty, 

 owing to lack of bidding.
