and home dealers to operate; purchases can easily be
made at previous moderate rates. Good to fine white

small, although 30 to 40 per cent. over proof can be Ob-

under these rates. Geneva is wanted, common at is 10d
_to 14 11d, and fine 2s to 23 4d; at present supply is
small; several parcels are looked for shortly.
