REPORT.
YANGTSZE PÓSITION AFFECTS BUSINESS,
POSSIBLE END OF JAPANESE
BOYCOTT.
Saturday, April 8-Owing to the political situation, war and rumours of more war, all markets have suffered and a very quiet week has been experienced. In Piece Goods the Yuenfong auction totalled 343 packages-about 100 less than last week.
PHILIPPINES AND INDEPENDENCE.
ELECTIVE GOVERNOR..
GENERAL SCHEMES.
ADMISSIONS AND DENIALS.
Manila (U.B.)-Rumours of A move for an "clcctive Governor- General of the Philippines" have at last. brought vigorous denial from Senate President Manuel Quezon. So concrete had rumours of this nature become that they re- ceived publication in Manila news, papers as a scheme to be pressed in Washington and representing “a stepping-stone on the way to com. plete. independence for the Philip- pinca."
Greys were the worst feature
That the planting of any such being 2 mace lower and this average included individual faces stepping stone would be a sensa of three to five mace. The slumptional achievement is clear from at present the ia these van, perhaps, be ascribed the fact that to the Japanese boycott situation Governor-Geneval is appointed by deniers being of the opinion that the President of the United States wholly independent of local it will soon be declared off.

"Deliveries in spite of the troubles kept up well, Hankow, Changsha, and Tientsin requirements were quite good and there was also an improvement to Korea of white shirtings.
Fungping Report. Developments on the Yangtze And the Nationalist offensive against Wuhan have upset the equilibrium of merchants and the market generally and, as far as the Yangtaze is concerned, shipments are practically suspended beyond Nanking pending more settled con- ditions. The northern marketa are quieter, but their inquiries are in the aggregate fair with perhaps not quite such liberal limits. In faet, until recent shipments are ab- sorbed they can afford to be inde peadent and in consequence local valuca are barely steady; dealers generally are free sellers. We hear of no forward business of conse- quence.

Appointed from Washington.
It is interesting to note in this connection that the Philippines" neighbour to the northeast, the Territory of Hawaii-a full-flodged part of the United States, whereas the Philippines are but a possession does not elget its Governor but has one similarly appointed from Waabington.
That there should be a move for fan elective Governor-General seems the apparently natural in view unshaken front on the Philippines independence issue. To obtain elec tion of the Chief Executive would be equivalent to a pledge of early independence for the Islands
In view of all this, the strong denial of President Quezon that be purposes to work in Washington for any such thing as an elective Governor-General is apparently contradictory to his consistently pro-independence stand.
It may be argued that if Quezon glad to have an elective Governor wants independence, he should be General as first step in that direc- tion. But on the other hand there is the prevailing suspicion that neither Quezon nor other majority party leaders in the Philippines (a) want independence, or (b) think independence is be had.
A Complex Situation. It is granted by those who do cuse the Filipino polities of want of complete sincerity that their at titude may be founded on either of these two things-lack of desire for that to which they seemingly as pire,
or lack of faith that they can win success.
Although our market during the paat week evinced but little ac

Furthermore, the demand for yarn from Northern exporters during the last few days has been very active which served as a further encouragement for Bulls' operationa.
the
The mills apparently are for the time being fairly well supplied or well contracted for their require ments, and unless bearish sentiment prevalent now in both American and Indian markets will be reversed, one may be led to an- ticipate no considerable rise in the immediate future on the domestic staple and, therefore, conservative operations are advisable for the time being.
Yarn.
The market has had a better appearance during the past week, and without any great excitement prices advanced about two to four. taels from the level of a week ago. Business for export has been Book. ed some 4,000 to 5,000 bales in all counts of local spinnings.
Sik
prevailing renders it highly inex pedient to branch off on any such chase as that of an elective provi sion for the Governor-Generalship. As Quezon has recognized, it is dan gerous even to become identified with a movement in any such direc tion.
The issue now facing the Islands is, as the Filipinos see it-Shall the present political and tariff (free trade) situation continue to prevail, or shall we have a tariff barrier between American and the Philippines together with Philip- pine independence!
Filipino leaders may or may not want independence; that is de- batable, and not important. at pre-. sent. The fact is that they are being compelled whether or no to make the issue clear-out. They must have free trade or they must demand independence. They can no longer waste time on side issues.
