Prices for this grade range from 92s to 100 s, according to quality. The market remains very firm in Siberia, no change being reported. French.—Notwithstanding the recent official reductions, the demand shows no improvement, and in view of the fact that it is anticipated there will lie a large autumn make in France, the opinion is expressed that values must come down still further.
