HONGKONG-Mr. P. Eduljes, in his Report dated 23rd July, state-The feature of the fortnight has been a further advance in the prices of yarn and the bull element which is prevalent in the local market is strengthened by reports of an excited market in Bombay consequent on a short; METALS— American Cotton Crop. Sales are comparatively small and values show an appreciation of $1 to bale. The enquiry has been general, per but No. 203, have been considerably dealt in participating largely in the advance and forming the bulk of the settlements. The last few days there has been very little doing as dealers are unwilling to follow helders in their demand for ! higher prices, and a temporary lull in for the moment being experienced. The market, how. ever, may be said to close firmer all round and with better prospects of the coming rise crop the nut look appears, to be far from discourag- ing. Bombay continues strong, and it is stated that in view of the scarcity of the raw material and the congested state of the Piece-go d. mar. ket most of the mills, are considering the ad- visability of adopting short time. Sales of the interval aggregate 7,404 bales arrivals amount to 6,800 bales, unsold stock estimated at 22,000 and uncleared yarn in second hands at about 28,000 bales. Local Manufacture-Sales reported of about 675 bales No. 10s. and 12s. at $114 and 118 respectively. Japanese Yarn: -Nothing doing. Raw Cotton. The high prices ruling in the Home markets have en- tirely checked importations, and for the trifling lot of inferior descriptions remaining in go- down no offer can be induced. Quotations are Indian $27 to 32. Exchange on India has con- tinued weak in sympathy with silver and closes to-day at Rs. 130% for T/T and Rs. 131 for Post. On Shanghai 74 and on Japan 84). The un- dernoted business in imported and local spin- nings is reported from Shanghai during the fortnight ended the 9th inst. viz-Indian:- Market firm. Total sales about 3,000 bales at advance of half to one Tacl Estimated stock about 35,030 bales. Japanese :-( ontinue attract attention and sales reported are 1,500 bales on the basis of Tls. 101 to 1114 for No. 168 and Tls. 117 for No. 208. Local:---In good enquiry, and sales of about 1,000 bales No. 16s at Tls. 100 to 105 are reported.
