Extract from Barng's Circular.
LONDON, Friday, 10th August, 1919.
A fair demand has prevailed this week for most
descriptions of Colonial and Foreign Produce, and
prices have been steadily maintained. We have
had rather enquiry too for leading staples,
and Cotton has been in active request, at gradually
advancing prices.-On the other hand, the Corn
trade, influenced by the prevailing fine weather. has
ruled extremely dull, and prices of Wheat have
fallen considerably. We are happy to say that adj
vices, received this day from Hamburg, state that
the raising of the blockade of the Elbc, Sc, will
be officially announced on the 18th instant.
american StOckS.-'rhe absence of regular de-
mand, and the return of small parcels from the con-
tnent for resale, have depressed the price of United
States u cents, and cannot quote those of 1865,

without demand, except for New York SIS at 9IM

Sugar.-We have had better demand from the
trade, and prices have recovered about Cd. from
their recent depression. The sales comprise 5000
hhds. and about 14,OOO bags. 2OOO boxes damaged
yellow Havana have also been taken by the Ref
ners at 36s. 6dd Ais. Cd. In Foreign, the sales
comprise a cargo of 1915 boxes white Trinidad de

afoat at 20s. 3D., for a near port. The Continent
tal advices report little activity yet. The Trad
ing Company have announced 69,577 baskets Java
for sale at Rotterdam on 10th proXimo, being nearly
all of their stoclI.-From st. Petersburg we hear
that about 5000 boxes white Havana have been
sold principally at Ro. 30.

request for export, and 43O hhds very common Nir-

the autumn, when an active demand may be antici-
pated
LIVERPOOL, 10th August 1919
Since last Circular of Sd inst, we have again
had a revival of active demand for Cotton, and an
extensive business with further advance of ID. T.
ID. in prices. The quotations to-day are SD. for
fair Upland, sgd for fair Mobile, 81 for fair Or
leans, and ga sd. for middling qualities. The
sales for the week amount to $500 bales, of which
24000 is put to the account of spectators and 5000
for export, and the American descriptions consist
of 1850 Upland at Al a 81; 37,470 Orleans at 4d
g.; $3.50 Alabama and Mobile at A. a 81, and 1870 Sea
Island at sac 1Sd. ~ lb. This fresh impulse to
the market is thought to arise mainly from the ac-
counts by the last steamer from the United States
which are looked upon as giving stronger indications
of diminished growing crop. The stock in this
port is now estimated at 665,000 bales, OF which
50S,000 is American.
The Corn Markets have continued to decline
from the still promising prospect OF an Abundant
harvest and for Flour there is only retail demand
at 24s a 24s Cd a. br. for sound parcels; inferior
uninspected is nearly unsaeabe and may be quoted
nominally $50 Dis. a. brl. For Indian Corn there
is increased demand, owing partly to the dcpress
ed prices and partly to reports the last three
DAYS of the appearance of the Potato disease in the
growing crop, in some localities both in this coun-
try and in Ireland. To-day there have been some con-
siderable sales of good yellow Corn at 24s a 24s. Cd
~ quarter white is scarce and sells in small par
GELS at 25d Dos. u quarter.

29s Cd a 31s.; Batavia, 800 35s Manila, 30d 36s.

vices from the continental ports are encourag

suit, at the Trading Companys sales, to take place
early in the ensuing month.

be had at pa to 23l cts; prices for f.aguayra are
from % to 81 cts; at which rates there buyers
