Meears Folishwalla and Kotwall, Cotton and Yarn Brokers, in their fortnightly. Report may-During the past fortnight our marker has been particularly-duli, the dealers having very few orders from the interior, while there is an entire absence "I speculative' demand.
On the other hand, advices from Bommy indicate a very strong market, the level of prices there being much higher than our local quotations. That being so, and in view of the advance of American cottos, we see no prospect of prices giving way. In fact, given a fair country demand, our market is bound to fall in line with the higher prices ruling elsewhere.
In the meantime, we close with a quiet but steady market.. Total Sules 1,700 bales. EnHold Stocks 14,000 hales Sald but un-delivered in the Godown and to arrive 41,000 bales.
