INDIA'S NEW VICEROY.

SPLENDID RECEPTION AT BOMBA

BOMBAY

BOMBAY, April 3.

Lord Reading's reception, one of the finest ever accorded a Viceroy, was marked by the booming of guns, and the cheering of huge crowds. The Corporation's address of welcome alluded to the ancient race to which the Viceroy belonged. Replying to the address, Lord, Reading wondered whether perhaps by some fortunate almost, indefinably subtle, subconscious ness his descent might quicken and facilitate his understanding of the arms aspirations, joys, and sorrows of the Indian people and assist him to atch the almost inarticulate cries and inaudible whispers of the multitudes who sometimes suffer most yet find it difficult, if not impossible, to their needs.

YARN MARKET.

Messrs Polishwalla and Kotwall, Cotton and Yarn Brokers reported on April 1 as follows:--

Since our last report of March 10, by ss. Dewars. our Yarn market had continued very depressed with declining tendency but terly, a sud- den good demand from Shanghai of 10s and 12s Yarn of selected chops, has saved a very critical situation and this isvourable change as well as the present greatly low arices have in- duced four focal buyers to fill up their requirements which resulted i large business in about 11,000 bales, at a decline of $10 to $15 per bale.

The chief feature of the market is good demand in superior chops while medium and inferior are alto- gether neglected.

The discouraging news of further reductions in prices of Yarn in India bas made the Foreign holders more impatient to part with their stock as much as they can, and have taken. advantage of the present opportunity. by selling freely at these low rates.

At the close there is a feeling of much activity in our market and Chi-

A conference of the Second Labour Internationals pised a resolution with the concurrence of the German delegates in favour of immediate nese buyers are operating freely for spot and forward transactions at an restoration of the devastated regions by means of international loans which drance of dollars 5 to 10 per bale, Germany should undertake to repay by 30 annuities. Ether indemnities should be fixed in accordance with German prosperity with a sliding scale hased not only on exports but also on internal taxation compared with other countries.
