Messrs James F. Hatton & Co., [Ltd., Manchester, report under dato
Deo. 13.
Trading in the cotton marketa has again been quiet and free from developments of any importance, Neither demand nor offerings have shown much change and prices have consequently been ormparatively steady. The American Bureau reports the amount of cotton ginnad to the end of November to be 9,318,000 bales, which is increase of 448,000 balss only, sinon the last report. American opinion at the outest regarded this an slightly bearish. but owing to an improvement in reports from spot centres and fair- |·ly-héavý spinners', takings. for the week, prices held firm Liverpool was not perceptibly influenced by the re- port as it was much as anticipated. There certainly does not now appear to any danger of immediate shortage of cotton supplies, and unlems the cot- ton industries outside America' im- provo considerably, there is not likely to be a scarcity for many months at least. The final Baresn report junt issued estimates the total growth of American cotton to' be 9,964,000 bales which
is just about what was general- ly expected. In the Hanches- ter market, the tone is if anything rather better, although there is not sa yet any substantial improvement, in business. For yarns there has been slightly more enquiry, in sections, both for home and export; for the latter varistica India and the Continent show more interest, but offers are still generally far out and only a poor turnover has resulted, Prices are generally unchanged, and fd to id per lb. lower io a few instances only. In
The rate of postage on letters posted in Hongkong addressed to Macao is now the cloth section, demand has also
4 Cents for each oz. or any 'fretion thereof."
