The market has been quiet since the holidays, but prices have been 
rather firmer, and quotations at to-day’s auction marked an irregu- 
lar advance of from Id. to in some cases 2d. per lb. on last sale 
rates. 
A large parcel of Lanadron Block weighing about 6 tons was partly 
sold at from 5/10 to 5/10| per lb., this being the highest price of the 
sale. The next best figure was 5/7f, which was realised for some 
Gikiyanakande Worm. The highest price for Crepe was 5/6f paid for 
a small parcel of C. M. R. E.
