HONG KONG IMPORT TRADE
FORTNIGHTLY RETURN.
The following information is IMPORT PRICES CURRENT. taken from the fortnightly circular issued by the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, dated January 14th:
Cotton piece goods and fancy cotton goods. The following re- ports have been received:
Although small lots of White Shirtings and Poplins have been booked and orders for low quality Venetians are being arranged, our per pical $0.80
market cannot be termed anything Steel Barn(round | tô 1′′)] 4.78-6.40 but very quiet. Clearances are poor, and unless they improve before the 6.10-8.50 Chinese New Year a fairly large carry-over in Winter goods is prac A8.10 tically inevitable. Cotton prices re- 4.86-5.00
main about the same, and coa 10,90
6,204,20 || cessions even for large business are
not obtainable.
The market for cotton piece goods is very quiet and although stocks of shirtings are said to be on the low side, dealers do not show much in- chination to make fresh purchases.
Woollens-Buyers are adopting a waiting attitude, and besiresa in woollens for next season is not like Ir to develop until after China New Year. Some orders have been placed in Continental goods, and there has beem more caquiry for Bradford styles.
