GONZALEZ informed BOLLACET that an unnamed Chilean company wanted to buy a MCC of raw cellulose. Other information given by GONZALEZ was to the effect that he has received correspondence giving Finnish and Swedish prices on cellulose.

GOVALZ informed XHC ANZ that a large wood pulp company in Brazil was interested in doing business. It was reported that the transactions would be made with a former AVAL company. The difficulty in dealing with AVAL was that he wished to have cargo marked as coming from another country, rather than the country of origin.

It was also reported by XC2422 that someone named CHILDS was interested in taking a deal in copper (no details).
