CANTON RAW SILK MARKET.

WEEK ENDING APRIL 16.

Small, bas regular daily transac- tiana with New York have helped to stabilize prices for qualities for that market. Lyons continues quiet Buddull and a few lots have

changed hands at reduced prices.

First Crop-It is estimated that this crop will give yield of 7,000 balen, of good 'quality' silk. It is reported that the price of cocoons of the first crop are above the pre- sent parity of silk values, and this explains the firmer attitude, of bolders.

"

The clase shows a quiet market but prices appear to be arm.
