Gle has ruled with more tirmness regards prices
since our last review, and an advance Of 2Q23
cents has been established. The transactions,
however, have been limited, owing mainly to the
fact that sellers are holding at figures above the
views Of buyers. There is only a small stock on
market, which is generally held III second Lands,
