certainly enable them to compete successfully with Japanese cloths at the present cost of the raw material, Tientsin is buying a little quietly. but all particulars of that market especially seem to be carefully suppressed, The Native reports concerning Corea are decidedly encouraging, but direct news does not confirm that. The benefit likely to be derived from a good rice crop will be greatly curtailed owing to the splendid crop in Japan, the only outlet for Coren's surplus supply. The excitement over the American Cotton crop appears to have somewhat subsided and the price in Liverpool for "spot" has given way, though futures remain about the same, To-day's quota- tion for the former comes 7.10d. and 6.92d. for January/February option, and this in face of 58.5 as the condition report issued by the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture on 2nd inst., as compared with 69.7 last year. According to the Census Office report the number of Bales ginned was 2.566,000 against 2 582,000 to the same date last year. The New York quotations keep fairly steady, yesterday January and March were 13.12 and 13.18 cents respectively, and this morning | December comes 13.18 cents. Egyptian Cotton in Liverpool remains unchanged at 10d. The Ex- port of Plain Cottons from England to China and. Hongkong last month was only 20,000,000 yards, quite a welcome falling off". Dyed and Printed goods are rather less, to, namely, 9,000,000 and 16,00,000 yards respectively. Yarn, however, is in fairly heavy supply. The New York innrket for. Piece Goods is very high, the last quotation for Pepperell Drill, being 128. 112d, the equivalent of about Tls, 5.75, against Tls. 5.25 now current. The Southern Mills in the States are app. rently feel- ing the advance in Cotton very-everely, according to latest telegraphic advices, which point to the possibility of closing down if consumers do not raise their offers. The Yarn market has been kept fairly active, though some of the fancy prices paid for Indian Spinnings are attributed to speculators. Although the sales reported are not credited to the Northern buyers they are nibbling. sales published of Japanese Yarns are not all from stock, but include "walkee cargo to Decem-
"p ber. A few small sales of L cal spinnings are reported to-day by Foreign Mills on the Lasis of Tis. 10100/101 50 for No. 20s. Tls, 104.00 for No, 148, and Tls, 107.00 for No. 16s. We also hear of purchases of New Cotton at Tls. 26.00 for Tung- chow, Tls. 25.00 for Four Chop, Tls. 24,75 for Best Machine Ginned and 11s. 24.50,24.00 for Shanghai Ordinary, the market being rather weaker at the close. The Auctions are supplying the cream of the demand, such as it is, and judging by to-day's sale are beginning to pick up a little in Grey and White goods, especially the latter, and the S4 lbs. and 12 lbs. of the former, Turkey Rods went at steady to firm prices, but there was not much strength in the demand for Fast Black Cotton Italians. Clearance sales of old stocks of Coloured figured Cotton Lastings and Plain and figured Italians have commenced during the interval, up- wards of 8,500 pieces being disposed of.

HONGKONG, 15th Oct., 1909.—The prevailing dullness in our local stocks has become more aco-n'uated during the week and the inclina- tion to weakness in rates more apparent, ness generally has been very slack and we have nothing of importance to report. Rubbers owing to a slight decline in rates on the Lon- don market have not been active, and although rates have been fairly well maintained transac- tions have been few and far between. Ex- cbeure ou London closes at 1/87 T/T and on Shanghai at 743.
BANKS.-Hongkong end Shanghais have changed hands at 990, 992), and 995 during the week, closing with buyers at 9923/995. Nationals remain unchanged and withou business.
MARINE INSURANCES.
་
Unions continue fairly steady at 8473, but there are sellers at the rate at the close. North Chinas continue with sellers at 115; other stocks under this heading call for no remarks.
FIRE I SURANCES.-Hongkong Fires con- tinu in demand and clos、 with buyers at 375, no shares being, apparently, available.. Chinas have an enquiry at 114, but holders are not at all eager to part.
SHIPPING-All stocks under this heading are almost utterly neglected and we have no charges or business to report.
REFINERIES. China Sugars have been dealt in to a limited extent at 145 cash and at 148 and 148 for December delivery. Luzons remain quiet and without business at 23.
MINING.-Raubs remain a dead letter at 8. Langkats after improving in the North in the ear- ly part of the week close easier with sellers at 840. DOCKS, WHARVES AND GODOWNS.-Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks continue out of favour, and with the exception of small sales at 55 we have no business to report. Kowloons have improved to 62, after small sales at 61. Shanghai Docks have ruled a little weaker with 11:30 sales at 75, but close with buyers at that rate. Hongkew Wharfs are firmer with buyers at 140. LANDS, HOTELS AND BUILDINGS.-Hong- kong Lands continue neglected at 104, but 10.80 shares could be placed at 103. West Points 11.20 remain on offer and buyers at 42 could probably 15.0 b accommodated. Other stocks under this 17.90
heading call for no remarks.
COTTON MILLS.-Ewos are quoted at 142 by telegraph, and Soychees at 460, Internation- als have declined to 83, and Lou Kung Mows to 10. The last two quotations are taken from the latest Shang ai circulars. Hongkong Cottons continne weak with sellers at the re- 20 duced rge of 61.
