YARN MARKET.
Messrs Polishwalla & "Kotwall, cotton and yarn brokers, of Hongkong, in their report dated October 5th, state:---
The improvement foreshadowed in our foregoing report, issued on the 22nd ult., has not matrialised during this: fort- night and the same despondent conditions have dominated the market. In spite of the steady tone manifested by Cotton and Exchange alike, deniers prefer the policy of aloofness, confining their attention to urgent requirements only. -
Although there is nothing apparent to account for this apathetic attitude of dealers, the main causes widerlying the stagnation are said to be (1) financial Biringency, and (2) the hudraugs offered. by pirate to the transit of gods into the interior, especially the southernmost countries,MA
The result has been a further shrinkage of business, the settlement during the fortnight barely approaching 3,000 balex. Rates, nevertheless, have bein fairly stendy and bid fair to remain soy ma
Total sales during the fortnight, 2,600 bales; sold and unsold stocks in godowns, 42,000 bules.
** ARRIVALE, -The mail str. Xovara from Bombay has brought in 1,600 bales for Hongkong and 10,000 bajes tor: Shanghai, Shipments, from Hongzong to Shanghai and coast ports 2,00) dates, 7
SHANGHAI has more cheering news to give of the market, the fortnightly sales of Bombay yarn being reported at 5,000 bales.
