For Genoa-327 | -sided on receipt of news of large crops in Japan and Shanghai. and buyers nowaitate nsiderably lower prices, but without much enthusiasm. On the other hand. although our market is distinctly weaker, dealera, having cleared the bulk of their let crop holdings at advantageous rates during the recent "spurt," are reluctant at present to make important concessions owing to the high st of 2nd crop cocoons. According to advices from home, it would appear that the deficit in the European crops amounts to about 30 per cent. Our 2nd Crop has been favoured with better we ther at the close and reports point to a yield of about 5,000 bales available for export. Fiatures.- ave been very little dealt in during the fortnight.

Mr. P. Edujee say in his Report, dated Hong- kong 19th June:-Nothing of interest has occurred in our market during the past fortnight. A comparatively slack demand was experienced and business transacted has been proportionately small. Quotations, however, hive been well maintained, and the market closes strong, with a tend ney to higher prices in sympathy with more favourable advices recently wired from Bombay. Local Manufacture: -The local Mill is running full time and meeting its recent heavy forward contracts. No new business ig consequently reported.
+
Japanese Yan: The scarcity and high prices of desirable Bombay spinnings of Nos. 16 and 20, are now attracting the attention of buyers to these threads, and sales of over 1,000 ba'es No. 163. at from $1237 to $1251, and of about 100 bales No. 20s, at $12 to $130, all forward delivery, have been put through.
Raw Cotton:-There has been a partial revival in the demand for Indian descriptions and the market looks on the eve of improvement after its depression of so many months past. The local mill is not buying, and exporters to Japan have been in small evidence and the whole of the 1,000 bales superfine Bengal reported sold, at from $24 to $261, has been taken up by native dealers for country markets. Unsold stock is estimated at about 2,000 bales. Shipments to Japan amount to about 1,80) bales. Nothig doing in China Cotton. Quotations are Bengal $22 tō g26, and China $26 to $ 8.
Exchange on India after slight fluctuations, closes to-day at Rs. 1251 forT/T and Es. 125¦ for Post. On Shangbai 71) and on Yokohama 81}.
