CEYLON AND OTHER PRODUCE. 
London, E.G., 25th Sept., 19a3. 
The markets generally are active and some sorts 
dearer. Bank Rate 4 per cent. Cotton easier. Coffee 
firm. Rise in Silver has done some good generally. 
Ceylon Cardamoms. — 7d to 2s 4d ; seeds lid to Is 2cl, 
tone good sorts firm. 
Ceylon Cinchona Bark— 52 bags out, 2Jd to 7|d 
values. 
Ceylon Cinnamon— 4d to Is 8d ; chips l|d to 9|d. 
Ceylon Coffee — irregular in price. Bold worth 903 
to fine 122s to 123s. Peas 41s to 87s. 
Ceylon Cocoa — active 47s to 92s range. 
Ceylon Weed (Orchella) — flat, nothing stirring, 
prices range 93 6d to 139. 
Ceylon Rubber — strong tone. 43 7d to 43 9^d ; Scrap 
3s to 3s 6d per lb. 
Colombo Root — strong, 16 sold at 143 6d per cwt. 
Ceylon Plumbago — also slow, but offerings poor, 
203 to 36s ; dust 4s 6d to 78 6d ; chips 9s 6d to 
15s 6d. 
Ceylon Senna — active, higher range l|i to 8f . 
Ceylon Tinnevelly Cotton— f g f 4 H-16d c i f 
October-November Suez Spot 5|. 
Ceylon Wool— strong to 5*! advance with American 
firms freely operating, range prices Indian 45d per lb 
to lOfd per lb. 
Ckylon Oil Coconut — firm active. Spot £25 10s to 
£25 12s 6d ; c i f £23 10s buyers, and August, Sep- 
tember, October and November same, 
American Cotton Crop— now looks about ll',500.000 
bales. Consumption declining. Indian and Egyptian 
crops look large. However if Spot American gets to 
5i to 4|d, Manchester will be active. Bears talk of 
4|d down to 4d. 
Sug.\rBeet — April, Mty and June 9/lJ— a buy down 
13 general view. Coffue Santos futures h ive risen 23 
6d to 3s, and it is now a question of supply and de- 
mand. American firms at the lowest bullish are still 
that way. 
We recommend shipments of Pepper, Nutmegs, 
Mace, good sorts of Tea, Coffee, Sugir and 
Rubber. Rubber has actually been sold at 5s privately 
and no sellers under. Buyers are anxious for all 
Ceylon can ship. Indian Butter is here 50s per cwt 
demand good. Trade generally here is improving, but 
the Stock Exchange people are very sick — so bad that 
some say they are drinking water instead of Tea. — The 
opinion iu Clubs, etc , about Mr Chamberlain is that 
the Liberals will come in'at next Election and, one 
or two years after, Mr. Chamberlain on his Fiscal 
Policy — which is to shut our doors to those Countries 
who shut their doors to England and they will then 
not be long before re opening them, These measures 
will be brought forward most likely every March with 
the Budget,
