Posin-The market was firmer during the week,
and some grades were reduced slightly. There
was good, steady inquiry, while the offerings
were light and business was restricted. The re-
GENTS are small, and the impression prevails

total sales for the week were some 1000 barrels.

ports from April to date: and for a like
