A feature that has lately been noticeable, and which was further 
emphasised at to-day’s sale, was that the medium and lower grades of 
crepe were in more request than has been the case of late, and 
compared with other grades prices of these kinds showed some 
improvement. Unwashed scrap, where clean and free from bark, was 
also well competed for.
