OTHER PRODUCE. 
Miucing Lane, E.G., 4th Sept. 
The markets are steady. 
Bank Rate— 1 per cent up — was au eye opener. 
Sugar — has a firm front now ; bounty duty finally 
squashed : so India may " wake up." 
Cardamoms — sold easier rates. 
Ceylon Rubber — 4s SJd for one lot is good news. 
Cotton — American Crop finished was about 10| 
Millions ; next looks llj to 12j. Manchester will be 
active at October-November futures prices in Liver- 
pool, but if January-February gets to 5.10 to 4Jd 
activity will reign, and on that basis Tinnevelly 
Cotton, Madras and Bombay and Calcutta should be 
bought down — f. g. f. old Tinnevellya 4 27-32 aud new 
about 4|— at 4f to 4J a buy. 
Coffee — is slow, but prices are low. Bears talk 
Santos 22/ futures, but bulla in time perhaps a terrible 
long time should win. We advise then to ship 
everything that is good and cheap in wise moments of 
course, Business looks broadening. The crops look 
better, and it certainly looks as if business would 
shortly hum and not before it is wanted too.
