Since the issue of our last report on the 39th ultimo, the depression in our Yarn Market has been more pronounced. The anxiety of holders to realize consequent on the incessant decline in the rate of the raw material, has frightened away buyers from the Market in the first part of the interval. Subsequently a concession in rates of 32 te 81

por balo, induced them to operate but only to a small extent and in special chops under country orders.. Holders are still anxious sellers and would yield to atill greater concessions if any large ordora be placed, but dealers are acting very can- tiously and buying only for immediate wants, whilst their previous purchases at higher rates are being very slowly cleared.

PRICE LIST

While the preliminary stops taken by the Government of Mexico to bring about a chango of that country from a silver to a gold basis took place, many months ago, it is none the less interesting to follow the gradual and stendy development of Mexico's carefully considered plan. Wisely begin. ning by creating two monetary commissions to study the fiscal problem in all its aspects, Waters and Bottles, and full crodit will ho the Government has been enabled to thread allowed for empties when returned.

Orders for Aerated Waters should be the tortuous mazes of monetary reform with addressed to out, so far, making a single mis-stop. The surcessful floating of the Mexican Iban of $40,000,000 in New York last month was no doubt a part of the carefully preconsidered plan for placing the country on a goal basis with safety, both to the public credit and to dometic industry and commerce. The bulk of this loan, or $20,000,000 in all, is to be employed in refunding purposes, thus strengthening the financial position of the Government both at home and abroad, while the remaining $14,000,000 are to be expened in the near future in public im provements chiefly harbor works, which will contributo directly to the prosperity and further development of the country,

Last month another important stop was taken toward the final consummation of Mexico's far reaching plan of abandoning the silver basis without in any way dis- turbing the country's domestic or foreign commerce. This was the introduction of a bill in Congress discontinuing the coinage of the old style silver dollars for domestic use, although expressly permitting such coinage for uso abroad. One clause of the bill provides that the dollars to be coined. for exportation shall not only be of the old style, but that they shall not be roimport

ed. For domestic use a new silver dollar is to be issued in place of the old dollars, as the latter are retired. This dollar, will be distinctive in style which

:

RECOMMENDED BY THE WORLDS FINEST

PHYSICIANS.

AXATINE is the mildest aperient known. It is pleasant in taste, not drastic but

certain in action-and-oven-in large doses is harmless. Laxatine being non-irrit able will be found a great boon, to ladies especially, and in cases where the kidneys are irritable or diseased. Laxatino is strongly recommended by the Continental Authorities and is being largely used in the London hospitals. Messrs A. S. WATSON & Co. Lг., have been appointed the Hongkong Agents for this preparation.
