AMERICAN WHITE WOOD.— Lo^s— continue of slow sale without any 

 advance in prices ; planks and boards -are quiet and prices rather weak 

 as stocks are large. 



KAURI PINE. — For logs there is a small demand, but a good inquiry 

 for planks and boards. 



SATIN WOOD.— Porto Rioo. St. Domingo, St. Lucia and Cuba.— Sales 

 &ave been small as the demand has fallen oft' and lower prices have to be 

 accepted. Bahamas and Jamaica — are seldom asked for. East India. — 

 The stock is too heavy for present demand. 



LIGNUM VIT/E. — St. Domingo -has not been imported for a longtime 

 and really good parcels would sell well as supplies are much needed. 

 Bahamas — is more asked for. Jamaica, Puerto Cabello, Curacoa and 

 Cuba. — Only well-grown woo l, of good sizes, should be shipped, as there is 

 a large stock of badly grown and small-sized pieces, which are very un- 

 saleable. 



EBONY. — Ceylon. — There is very little stock, but scarcely any demand. 

 East India — if really good would find buyers at fair prices. Madagascar, 

 Mauritius and Macassar. — Large, sound wood, of good colour, would 

 realise fair prices. 



COCUS WOOD— is in moderate demand. 



BOXWOOD. — Persian and Arabian — are in good demand at steady 

 rates. African — would find buyers at fair prices. 



SNAKEWOOD. — There is no stock, but very little enquiry. 



LANCE WOOD SPARS. — Shipments have moderated, but still sales are 

 not easily effected and prices keep very low. Dcgame Spars — are asked 

 for and would sell well. 



LOGWOOD — is in moderate demand a*- recent rates. 



FUSTIC - is quiet, but steady.
