SILK.
YOKOHAMA. 15th August-The market for raw silk has steadily advanced since the last report and closes firm." The arrivals of waste silk to date are very small and the stock does not increase. A few transaction have been done in Kikai Kibizzo, and prices at the close are very firm for this class of waste. Habulai.—Continued firm- ness has been the feature of Kanazawa since the commencement of the month, some weights showing an advance of two per cent. This is more probably due to the activity of the silk | market rather than to any particular enquiries from abroad. All weights and qualities show in Echizen a strong advance, particularly lighter textures, but business has been abnormally quiet. There is no change of any importance to note
in the market für Kawamata.
