previous rates. The receipts show a small inn
provement on the previous week, but the exports
have been large, AMI the stock in market is
kept in balanced condition. Some snail lots
this years crop have been brought in, but the
receipts of no size, and no market price has
been yet established. There were, however,
small sales at 7O@75 cents. Since last week no
cargoes have arrived, consequently we are at
