' Consul-General - William H. Michael Of Calcutta, supplies the following de tails of the jute trade In 'India: The Jute business for one day in Cal cutta will suggest something of the (present trade conditions affecting that commodity, On October 11 the Import of Jute Into Calcutta amounted to 4,000, Q00 pounds. There was exported on the ssme day 3,720,000 pounds, and . the to tal amount held in stock amounted to 67,612,240 pounds. Balers, bought 2, 448,000 pounds st $1.83 to $3.75 per 80 founds: the mills bought ror consump loa 872,000 pounds at $.1.66 to $3.74. The local market, this Is the broker's price, was 4 cents lower than tnat paia by tne mUls. On the same day in London the price for the same grade of jute waa $18 and a fraction per bale, and the demand waa slack, mills buying sparingly. The gunny market on the same day waa altnnat dead. Heavy "cees Were reporte-sat $9.74 per bale for January and MaTch. and light cees at $9.24 for ths same delivery, uoru bucks worn priced at $11.83 for present delivery. Hessians were ejuiet, no sales being made. This shows a very different atata of tha market from what it Was one- yearago, - when prices were- glng upward and all the trade eager to buy everything In the shape of Jute In sight. annates aad Hsssiaas. . The reports of several leading Cal cutta brokers are surmltted, the first one being as follows. . The condition of the market remains unnhanired: weak, with a lower ten dency. . There la a little half hearted buying srolna- on, but it Is quite apparent that neither buyers nor sellers nave much faith in the market A favorite make of hesvy C bars was sold at $9.74. A line of B twills Is also reported at tti 99 Taminrv-Mnrch. but basaar spec ulators are supposed to be the sellers; B twills for near delivery are offering freely at $9.49 without finding buyers.
