GUM MARKET.
Auckland, December 31, 1891,
In our lasb monthly report we advised this market as unsettled, and prices then apparently falling. Since thab date ordinary has fallen about £6, which must, however, be somewhat discounted by the fact thab the quality of supplies has already fallen off owing to early summer and obher causes. East Ooaab has oxperienced little change, bub is in less demand. The supplies from mail to mail are about 617 tons, and for the year 1891 about 7,726 tons. The Mentone sailed via Wellington on 16th instant, with about 167 bona gum for New York, for which port bhe Essex sailed on 24th instant with aboub 383 tons, to bo followed by the Flora aboub the end of January. The s.s. Maori in addition to 70 tons already advised takes 192 tons for London. We quote : — Ordinary ~„ £40 Poor ordinary (notniual)... £25 to £30 Unpicked ordinary, upwards from ... ... £44 East Coast £70 to £73
