paid— whereas spot value 7 916d per lb. American 
old crop looks 10 to lOj millions, and next crop ac- 
counts report want of rain. Bulls talk of lOd for 
American of course and Bear."! of 7-^d, July-Ano-ust 
is 8 44-l(10d a pi ice would rather sell at O/N'and 
September-October ca.lls are £124 per 100 Bales. 
Mancehster more doing. 
Ceylon Tea — and Shares Prospects we get are very 
good, and not so good for Indian sorts. 
Recommend shipments of Sugar, Coffee, Plumb,jgo, 
Spices, Cutton, Tea, Kapok and Tree and Vegetable 
and Wild Cotton. 
City talk rather dull this week. 
Mr Brodrick admits it is necessary to stir up the 
Indian Government to further interest in Cotton- 
growing, Russia, in order to push her Cotton-growing, 
taxes American Cotton 2d per lb.,t.e., £400 on every 
hundred bales. This is pushing Cotton-growing to a 
flno point ! Russia is sending yarns and cloth to North 
Indian markets. If she takes Indian Cotton in 
without a tax this is right, but if not above she 
should be tnxed to same extent. Mr Brooke recom- 
mends Ceylou trying Egyptian seed, and testing the 
soil in Egypt and seeing time planted, temperature, 
etc., and of soil when crop plnckf-d. Let Ceylon try 
and copy these points. Advance money to ryota like 
indigo planters do.
