EXPORTS:-
SILK.
YOKOHAMA, 31st December, ince the 14th inst., the principal transactions in raw silk have been intended for shipment to Europe, whilst purchases for America have been comparatively few. A fall in prices for Filature, "Kimpai." and Kereels has to be recorded, lower grade Kaked18, on the other band being slightly higher than last reported.
The waste silk market has been very steady, with daily transactions large enough to prevent any increase in stock.
HABULAI-Prices for American qualities of Kanazawa have declined about two per cent. since last report, whilst those for Europe have depre ciated about four per cent. The demand for America has as usual centered round 5 momme in 27 inch. There has been a better enquiry for Europe for 23 inch goods. The enquiry for better quality, in Echinon has been more marked, prices for which show but little alteration. For ordinary quality particularly in 6 momms, prices have de lited about five per cent. Owing to the tempor ary withdrawal from the market of some of the largest Japanese buyers and a falling off in the demand from all quarters, price for Kawama'a bave declin d considerably.
