As shown by the settlements reported the market is certainly firm, but the prices realised at the public sales are somewhat disappointing, though no doubt this is accounted for, to some extent, by delivery being required too soon after the selling day, last year's experiences of the native banks with holding the issue of their credits for some weeks Noth- possibly having something to do with it.

The shipments during November were about 5,50 bales, against 2,000 baies the same mouth in 1891. This gives some idea of what the available supply will be at the commencement of the season.
