Fancy goods are being dealt in rither mr freely, but mostly for distant delivery, and Yarn and Woollen have not been without enquiry. The Yar market is quieter for all spinnings, but there is no chang⚫ in prices. Native Cutton is easier, from which it would appear that no damage has been done, to the new crop by the typhoon, but it is a little early yet to get advices exopt from the immediate neighbourhoodl.
