Synopsis
Coutinho informs Lopez of the arrival of Captain Hathaway. The market is still bad, with a great scarcity of money. He tells about “Northward men” who came in daily and spiled one’s other's trade. He thinks that molasses would face difficulties to be sold. Coutinho acquaints that he had not received as yet the money from Langrad.
