has reference to a contract for 200 bales selected cassia broken shipped by Wendt & Co., Hong Kong, per 8.8. Arika, to Trieste, on account of Messrs.
Fratella Weiner, Trieste. The buyers not being content with the uality of the good wished to have
the claim settled by arbitration and Ch. Trede asked
Eastwood & Holt to arrange the arbitration.

they would dee to the ratter but in the meantime war
broke out and the matter was droppe, as far as
Eastwood & Holt had anything to do it, and correspond-

to W.A. HANNIBAL & CO.
Mr. Holt was unable to throw any light on
the matters referred to herein except that the
reference to the "2 shipments" evidently relates to
arbitration, of which no doubt, 1 shipment is that of
the 200 bales selected cassia broken' above mentioned,
and possibly Ch. Trede have written to Eastwood & Co.
in regard to another shipment but the latter has not
arrived.
The books and correspondence dealing with these
matters were produced and I found them in agreement
with the above information.
