BRADLEY & CO,
Agente,
Buigon advices refer already to the end of the season, and the shortage in the errp, previously estimated, is, unfortunately, most likely to prova a fact. It is believed that daily supplies, now about 21,000 picula, most soon fall away, also that the abnormally bigh prices will he maintained. Reference to latest Saigon price lints shows white rice and cargo rico quoted as
about 84.85 and $1.05 por pical respectively, as against about $3.55 and $2.88 samo date last year, and these figures would indeed appear to bear out the nasertion that prices are more or loss prohibitive to business.
From Bangkok, as things will likely go this CARBOLINEÜM-AVENARIUS season, others than "liters" may not look for
much, if for anything.
