LETTER. 
London, August 6th, 1908. 
Straits. 
A nice business has been done during the past month 
arrivals of all descriptions of Yellow Wax realising firm 
prices. This demand will continue during our summer 
which is the bleaching Season. 
East Indian Wax — selling at £5.15.0 to £6,10.0 per 
cwt according to quality. 
The bulk of offerings consist chiefly of very common 
qualities but the few small parcels of really fine have 
found ready buyers at 50/- to 60/- per cwt, while 
common East Indian are slow of sale even at 20/- per 
cwt. 
Market firm but of late the higher range of prices 
demanded on the other side has, somewhat checked 
business 
China Crude — fair merchantable quality, buyers at 
160/- per cwt with Sellers at 162/6 per cwt c.i.f. With 
a special guarantee 165/- c.i.f. has been paid. 
Market steady, common qualities move off slowly at 
20/- to 30/- per cwt but finer grades are in demand at 
45/- to 55/- per cwt. 
Are an irregular market closing quiet. 
On the spot Penang dull to fine bright bold are 
worth lOd to l/3d per lb. 
We have had to deal with mostly old faded Coffee 
which has sold in many cases at barely the prices 
obtainable when it first arrived but colory parcels which 
are scarce have commanded dearer rates. 
Malay Peninsular : we quote, Liberian at 48, - to 54/- 
per cwt ; 01 yellowish Java at 80/- to 105/- per cwt, 
West Indian 45/- to 75/- per cwt.
