CEYLON AND INDIAN PRODUCE SALES 
AND KEPORT AND CITY TALK 
FOR WEEK ENDING 25TH MARCH. 
London, 6 p.m., 25th March, 1904. 
The markets are mostly dull — bar Coffee, Sngar, 
Pepper and Shellac, which are higher. Bank Rate 
4 per cent and looks like seeing 3 per cent. Beet 
Sugar here at 93, is only at cost of production. 
Coffee — Santos Futures Septsmber 34/7?j and looks 
safe in price. 
SuGAn— firmer, May Beet futures 8/7, tone good' 
and consumption here and on the Continent will con- 
tinue large as Continental inhabitants are at last 
having chf aj) Sugar, thanks to the Brussels Convention 
and Mr Chamberlain. 
Ceylon Tea— and Shares firm, and Stock safe for 
next year or two — all common sorts firm for some 
long period. It looks (like Cotton) as if consumption 
is limiting production ! 
Plumbago— small to good 273 to 51s ; dust Bs to 123 ; 
chips 14s to 253. Stock 304 against 540 tons last 
year. 
Ceylon Rubber. — Fine worth 53 to Ss 4d ; scrap 3a 
7d to 4s Id — tone good — and Americans buying. 
Cotton.— More doing in Manchester futures, in 
Liverpool down from 8"99d to 7 25d for old crop. This 
crop looks lOi, and the next 10 to 13.| millions. Acre- 
age is big, but American Cotton after June to Octo- 
ber in Liverpool will be seriously ehort. Balls talk 
of 1% and Bears of 6J for June-July futures, but 7^d 
to us lo' ks low. Indian Government should give 
prizes and bounties to E. I. Cotton-growers. Years 
ago Qaeeasland Cotton arrived in Loudon and most 
suitable Cotton too, but it dropped out all for the 
want of bounties. China Cotton here is too short in 
staple, P G F spot Tinnevelly is 7 3-16d on the spot — 
lowest was 2§d c i f in 1894. Pine Broach is 7 9-16d. 
Fine Egyptians 9irl. As people will pay £200 to 
have the Call and Put of tOO bales of August- Sept- 
ember Liverpool American Futures, it shows the value 
of opinions as regards Liverpool American Cotton, 
and to reading Manchester too 1 
Cevlon Cocoa — free sellers with downward tendency.
