OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES circular of May 4th
referring to the trade for April says; /" In
terror merchants who for months past had
bought VITA extreme caution and allowed their
stocks to run very low, began to purchase more
freely, oblging thereby LEGAL jobberS, in their
turn, to supply themselves more literally than
usual. The sales from first hands for local con-
Il nf Ar.-f
gated 49, $40 bags, and for the first months ofthe
year 46 04l bags, showing that the consumption
of the coast has again resumed its former full
proportionS Stocks in the interior are prob
ablv somewhat larger than at the beginning of
the year, but those of jobbers in this city are
still smaller now than then. The sales for
overland shipment, on the contrary, have been
smaller than for some years past, ana VIII prob
ably continue on a very limited scale during
the remainder of the year. owing to the small
receipts, actual and prospective. of washed
Guatemalas, and particularly of the finer de
scriptions, which are the qualities mostly de-
sired in the central markets. By reason of
such great scarcity these descriptions advanced
fully l cent in price, while the medium and
lower qualities of Guatemala, as well as all
grades of Costa Rica, did not improve but y
cent Unwashed Salvador fiuctuated during the
month between IA and l4% cents, closing very
firm at the latter figure" The Collma on the Sd
brought 49, bags Nicaragua, 4, 1856 bags Salvador
and 8, 9S9 bags Guatemala. The San Juan on
the 9th brought $3.50 bags, and the San Bias,
now due, has about 10000 bags. Mr.. Hoch-
kofler thinks these heavy receipts may check
momentarily the present upward tendency in
prices, but should not have any permanent de-
pressing influence, in view of the limited stocks
in comparison with the requirements of the
coast for the remainder of the year. At the
close, strictly choice Guatemala and Costa Rica
are quoted at II cents; good do, 16@1612c; fair
to good, prime washed Salvador, l5@l6c good
