JOHN HADDON & CO. SPECIAL 
PRODUCE LETTER. 
London, November 6th, 1908 . 
Straits Report. 
The bleaching season is over, in consequence, yellow 
Wax has been slow of sale and may be quoted at 2/6d 
to 51- per cwt down. 
Have shown a firmness, fine grown beans have sold 
well, and are wanted, buyers being prepared to pay 
50 - to 60 - per cwt, but common, badly grown and 
dried move off slowly. 
After improving has eased off considerably until spot 
is only worth 147/6 per cwt and early shipment 147/6 
per cwt. 
Have been a strong market, Mombassa and Zanzibar 
advancing to 33/- per cwt, fine bright Nyassaland 
selling at 55/- per cwt. 
A good trade has been done but during the past 
fortnight prices have been a little irregular, and rather 
in buyers favour. Closing, F. M. Straits at £17. 2. 6, 
Java £18. 2. 6. 
Supplies have been heavy and only a small propor- 
tion sold owing to a very dull market.
