OUE WEEKLY PRODUCE REVIEW. 
London, 6;h Nov., 1903 
The Lane markets for Cotton, Coffee, Sugar, Wax, 
Shellac, and Pepper have buen active in a way. 
Ceylon Cocoa — quiet, 116 bags sold fair to red good 
603 to 693 6d, boldy 76s and little 57s to 61a 6d. Cocoa 
Butter 11| to 12|. Indian Butter has been sold 
yesterday at 6d per lb. Low quality and the outlook 
at present is far from gay. It may suit Africs and 
Aden, but not here, although Siberian is selling here 
about 8d to 9d, and low French thereat. 
Indian Wool— 2|d to 8id per lb,, but tone dull. 
Cnwaahed ^d to 4d per lb. 
Cotton — Manchester is bu3ier. China and India 
buying freely. American crop estimates 10,300,000 
Bis. to 11^ millions, 10,700 to 11 millions or llj is 
about the mark. Consumption 10,890,000 about. 
Indian Cotton is being more used in Lancashire, but 
difficult to get spinners to go on again with il. 
However it will have some effect like last year. 
Ceylon — Damar-pipey greenish good sold at 41s 6d 
and ordinary at 353. 
Ceylon Tea — active and prospects brilliant if dnty 
reduced. 
Indian Shellac —is being used for Telephone work, 
etc, and prices are 220s. Lowest known 343. Highest 
2603. Germany is trying to make a Shellac of her 
own, but the stuff looks bad, so perhaps Shellac will 
not suffer like Indigo did. Trade iu America is un- 
certain and had in Texas and when millionaires have 
to sleep on the yachts, things must be queer. 
TiNNEVELLY CoTTON — is 5 ll-16d f g f C 1 f. 
Santos Coffee — July 32/lJ. 
We recommend shipments of Coffee, Tea, Rubber, 
Sugar, Cotton and Spices. No sales of Rubber, but 
demand strong. 
P,S. — Mr Chamberlain continues busy. The Con- 
servative evening papers think the Liberals will get 
in at the next election, and Mr. Chamberlain after- 
wards. It depends on the working classes to a great 
extent, but commercial men by 90 per cent favour 
his ideas.
