READER’S

Dear Sirs,

We note from your letter of October 30 that the price offered by us for the subject article is found to be on the high side.

While we appreciate your cooperation in giving us the information about the Japanese supply in your market, we regret to say that there is no possibility of our cutting the price to the extent you indicated, i.e.8%. For your information, we have received a crowd of enquiries from buyers in other directions and expect to close business at something near our level. At present, we cannot see our way clear to entertain your counter-offer, as our price is quite realistic.

If later on you see any chance to do better, please let us know. In the meantime, please keep us posted of developments at your end. We assure you that all your enquiries will receive our prompt attention.

Yours sincerely
