- November, 1933 THE AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JOURNAL 23 with Davao hemp from 1/8 cent to 1/4 cent higher. The month closed with the market, dull and buyers not interested. Nominally prices had declined about 1/8 of a cent on the average, but in reality hemp could be purchased at least 1/4 of a cent below prices asked at the first of the month. The Japanese Market: This market re mained dull and inactive throughout the month with buyers taking full advantage of conditions in London and New York. They bought some hemp but only at prices below replacement value. Maguey: This fiber was rather neglected throughout the month. There is still no demand for Northern Maguey due to the low prices of Sisal, and oply an occasional sale of Cebu. Nominal price for No. 2 Cebu was P4.00 a picul and No. 3 was P3.50. It is understood that some of the Cebu houses were paying slightly better prices. Production: Receipts continue heavy and average throughout the month 27,250 bales per week. This is more than the world is con suming at the present time. Also, there is a gradual increase in province stocks, especially in Davao, which does not tend to help the situa tion. Freight Rates: There was no change in freight rates. The U. K. conference notified shippers that they contemplated making an advance but evidently the matter has been abandoned for the present. Cigars: Shipments during the ■ month to the United States continued to increase in comparison to the same month of 1932 and if nothing unforeseen happens it may be expected that by the end of the year the volume of last year’s shipments may be reached. However, the total value thereof will be much below the 1932 figures.
