Indian Markets
This last few weeks enquiry has been of fair extent, but business has been difficult to arrange. Of the Indian centres, 'Calcutta has booked both dhaoties and whites, whilst some of the dyed and fancy stylen have been under offer. Karachi and Madras have taken odd lines of light speciality cloths but in the main limits have proved unwork- able.

The up- country outlets have made tentative bids for dyed satins, pongees and shirtings and one or two standard lines have resulted.
