Extract from Baring's Circular.
LONDON, Friday May Is, 1919.
good deal more activity has been manifested in
the Colonial and Foreign Produce markets this
week, notwithstanding the continued unsettled state
of European politics, and within day two hopes
have been renewed that settlement of the Danish
question may yet be effected. This would at once
be sensbly felt in the increase of export bust
ness, as the stocks of produce throughout Germany
must have become greatly reduced and to our mar
ket they must look for the first supplies Since our
last we have had very fine and scasonable weather
COHcG-The trade have been more disposed to
operate, and of $50 casks, $500 bags at auction,
large proportion has been taken at very full prices
including $50 bales Mocha from Sos cd. a Cts. Cd
BUYERS of Native Ceyon at 32s, but 800 bags at
auction being held above the market, were bought
in from 32s. Cd for ordinary, up to 3s. Sd for very
good. In Brazil and st. Domingo business has
been done. Padang is worth 27s cd. a 2Ss. Cd and

Dbl. and both slow sale. Indian Corn in fair
quest, and 3js. a 36s readily obtainable for small
cargoes fine Galatz arrived oil the coast. We have
no American here.
Sugal-The business in home trade sorts this
week has been extensive, and at prices again fully
Cd dearer The sales comprise 800 casks and II,
500 bags. Foreign Sugar has also been i'll more
quest and the following transactions have occurred
establishing farther slight improvement-950 tons
Brazil floating at 1Ss. Cd a. 19s for Brown, and 22s
I'd for whites $50 cases brown Bahia at COS; $50
hhds. Porto Rico at Dos. Cd; 5000 bags Manila at
3Ss Cd. and 5000 bags Siam at Dds. Cd. Ofwhtc
Havana two cargocs have been taken for st. Peters
burgh, one of 200 boxes (from TrindatD at SIS,
and of SIT boxes at price kept secret but said
to he 37s. " cwt. The result of the Company sale
in Holland very satisfactory, the whole guam
tity (about $4,000 tons) found ready buyers from
27If up to 39f, being only Ma If reduction the
rates of March. Nothing is yet known regards
any alteration in the Russian Tariff.
Tca-Public sales consisting of $4,000 now
in progress, and 1920 packages have been gone
through, of which 5000 only have been sold. Some
fair quality Canton Gunpowder sold at Is 0Sd also
some fine Souchong at Is. cd. and fair quality Young
Hyson at 9ad o. h., but quote little alteration in
prices generally. Congous were chiefly bought in
at full prices.
1obdcco-The accounts from your side of frost
have impaired additional firmness to price, but any
farther effect is not to be looked for until later adj
vices received. Fair inquiry has prevailed for
most descriptions, and some sales of midding Ken
lucky leaf have been effected at about Sad. e. h.
and of low Virginia leaf at about I'd. and middling
qualities of dark Tobacco at 32d a. Id. for expor-
tation.
.amerca', StockS-The transactions of this week
have been almost entirely confined to the United
States % cent. stock.-Bonds to bearer with Cou-
pons of $1,000 each have been sold at I09 and LOG
div. and a few might still be placed at this
price whilst Bonds of larger amount are offered
