hhds; q portion OF this amount is destined for
the North of Europe &C.. but the agent for

pal operator. This revival of demand has
given q more healthy tone TO the market,

market, however, cannot by any means be
considered active, though holders are rather
more firm, and we now quote 81 % us the
prevailing price for good lots of superfine.-
