The market has been quiet since the holidays, but prices have been 

 rather firmer, and quotations at to-day's auction marked an irregu- 

 lar advance of from Id. to in some cases 2d. per lb. on last sale 

 rates. 



A large parcel of Lanadron Block weighing about 6 tons was partly 

 sold at from 5 10 to 5 10t per lb., this being the highest price of the 

 sale. The next best figure was 5 7j, which was realised for some 

 Gikiyaoakande Worm. The highest price for Crepe was 5 6f paid for 

 a small parcel of C. M. R. E.
