YARN MARKET
In their report dated 14th inst., Messi, Phirosha Petit & Co write or last cir cular was dated the 30th ult.
The yarn market, during the whole of the past fortnight, without being unduly pessimis ilc, presents one continued feature of gloom and depression, and prices, in consequence; ruled rather weaker. The reason for such a "poor state of affairs is found in the fact of the instability, generally speaking, of the Chinese yarn merchants. Transactions, as must be rx. pected, ware considerably restricted and just a very moderate business of only. 700 bales was reported in the market during the earlier part of the fortnight under review,
Then came a sudden and unwelcome crash in the market. One of the largest firms of Chinese yarn dealers, owing to the heavy drop in the prices of yarn of the dearly-purchased stock he had still to clear, has had to eek shelter in the Insolvency Count in view of his heavy liabilities. By this failure the very fargest of uncleared stock contracted for by quantity of any native buyer will be thrown back on first hands. The amount bei gahy 10 mean in- considerable one seriously aggtnv_les the un- Batisfactory condition of the market.
The news of this latest failure caused quite panic amongst yarn merchants in the Colony, Importers are thus non-plussed and at a loss to discover any infe' guidance to lead them along the tortuous course created by a condi-

vfl have to bear rather heavy loser. The amount cannot, even approximate ly, be determined at time of
writing. Some four new firms of Chinese dealers have been called into existence to replace the de. funct bongs that have been drawn into the varier of the financial crisis. It is our pleasure to bole among the newcomers some names of good standing, commercial integrity and ex- tensive resources. These firms are beginning to feel thoir way and limiting business to one of very slender character only, buying from and to mouth.

It is surmised, though we should not care to place ourselves in the position of false pro- phots, that when the major portion of the stock. now in second hands is exhausted (big lots finding their way back into first hands) a more cheerful optlook is bound to present itself.
