HONGKONG IMPORT TRADE.

The following notes are from the fort nightly report of the Hongkong. General: Chamber of Colomeree:

Cotton Piece Goods, and Fancy Catton Goods. The position" remains, substan tially the same, as it will probably con- tinue to do so long as the main govern ing factors, exchange and the price of cotton, remain at their present level. Where prices an he brought into liné Jusiness of a satisfactory volume is being. put down, though it is probable that all parties concerned have to work on a smaller margin to usual. However, the market is shown to be in a healthy posi- tion. Such preliminary crop forecasts as have appeared do not encourage the trade to hope for much cheaper cotton. 1

Cotton Yam-Our market has ruled steady during the fortnight, prices re- maining unchanged. A limited business haa been put through. Quotations are No. 10s, 820/240; No. 128, 8225/8245: No. 16s, $240/9250; No. 205, $230/$240. Arrivals," wil Shipments, kil Sales, 1,000 bales Unsolil stock, 4,100 bales, Baris, 4,000 baleni
