The cloth market here does not show mach change reports aro mtter coor tradictory, but probably on the whole there is just about as much new business doing as during the past three weak. Bleaching Dhooty business for India is hampered by the colour difficulty and generally the sclous difficulty increases each week. The standard dys for Bombay Coloured Shirting is now unobtainable as are also some of the Atandard Rod colours: Calcutta and the Home Trade seem to have beon the micst conspicuous markets of the past week. Offers from all the importing markets are still very low which seems to show a lack of confidence in present values.
