fested a firm appearance, and prices were well
supported. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales,
2,000 of which were taken on sreculation, and
1,000 for export. In Railway shares there was
nothing doing, and the quotations tended down..
wards.

yesterday. The quantity to be offered during the
series amounts to about 7,364 chests, including
3,555 chests of old goods bought in and withdrawn
from previous sales; 1,061 chests in second hands.
There was a fair attendance of home and foreign
buyers, and it was soon evident that the orders for
export were unusually limited. Kurpah qualities

freely at about 3d..t0 4d. per lb. decline on last

lb. ; ordinary to good, 4d. to 6d. per lb. 1,491

drawn, 524 bought in, and 497 sold.
