quotations in Liverpool have risen, Mid-American to 5.88d. and Egyptian to 7. The Export for the last two weeks to China was 14,000,000 yards. With regard to our remarks last week, unent the excessive figures for Yarn, it is evident some one has blundered. The Export in July to Hongkong and China was only about 375 bales, while for August it was slightly over 2,000 hales and for September 1,400 bales. The New York market is reported as strong, with Manufactures raising their prices as soon as an order to buy comes along. The market is very dull for Yarns, though at the close a little more enquiry is noticeable.
A good demand for the Raw staple for Newchwang-hus kept prices here steady to firm.
