li Coir Goods. 



Coir Yarn.— Auctions since our last have baen held on 17th and 31st ulto. and 14th inst. the 

 quantities exposed being 1,450 tons of Cochin and 300 toes of Ceylon imports. Although the attend- 

 ance of buyers throughout the month has been but moderate, a steady demand has been maintained, 

 the bulk changing hands, at prices showing no particular alteration from last quotations, the figures 

 realized at the last series being the best. Good Cochin roping bales continue scarce, the few small 

 parcels exposed finding ready buyers. Common to good medium Ceylon descriptions have found a 

 ready sale ; good qualities irregular. 



Coir Fibre. — Cochin is unprecedently scarce, the very few lots now in second hands held for 

 extreme prices. Ceylon continues in abundanc?, no change in value. 



Coir Rope remains quiet, the high quotations from the other side stopping forward business.
