months the masthly average of the cash quota tion kept within the narrow limit of about five eights of a penny-23.326 and 23.834-and those of the concluding six months-23,351 and 24.030-shop a sightly wider difference. The highest prices of the year were reached in the remaining two months, May and June, the averages, for which were 11,342 and 24, 166 respectively.
The highest quotation of the year was 243d on May 5, the lowest 23 1/16d on three dates, vix: March 4, October 26 and 30; the net differ ence between the highest and lowest of the year is therefore 1 13/150.
Daring seven months the average forward price was slightly below that for cash. The difference between the two daily prices was rately large except in the early part of January, when the cash stood for a week or so-3/16 to | 5/16d higher than the forward price.

More or less throughout the year there has been a prolonged contest between India and China; this appears to be the chief reason for the exceptional stability of price.
