YARN.
HONGKONG, 21st June. -Some demands hav-
Mr. P. Eduljee says in his Report, dated Hong- ing come from the mainland, prices are conse-kong, 21st June.-As advised in last report, the quently advancing. Quotations are:--
large business then being done in Shanghai has Saigon, Ordinary.
re-acted beneficially on our market here, and we have to report considerable settlements at prices which show an advance of $1 to $3 per bale. The enquiry has been purely speculative, as at the moment there is nothing of importance being. done in the interior, but some of our dealers anticipate a brisk summer trade and are laying in stock to meet the country demand next month before prices go up further. At the close the market shows signs of an upward tendency and we look for a further rise in prices of best Noa. 108. and 20s. The improvement reported from Bombay has been confirmed, and latest wire advices quote annas 5 and annas 5 for best descriptions of No. 10s, and No. 20s, respectively. Receipts during the interval have been moderate, and with larger off-takes our estimate of stocks shows a large decrease on last figures.
