The steadiness with which, operations were resumed on the market after the New Year's holl- days has been well maintained, Docks continue the centre of attraction and have been the medium of an extensive ` turn- i over: At one time yesterday' they gave the Impression that" satura- : tion point had been reached. This, however, was a momentery phase and the demand was soon renewed and is still unsatisfied. Hongkong Banks and Unions are eagerly sought after and although buyers have increaseed their bids, scrip; In both cases is particularly scaTOS, Whilst the remainder of the mar- ket does not call for any parti- calarized remarks it may be siktedi there
is evidence that Interesti throughout the list has broaden ed, and the closing tone is firm.) with possibilities of higher levels all round.

"MARGINS" FOR COTTON YARN PRICES
3
LONDON, Jan. (Reuter)-A new Ministry of Supply örder does not control raw cotton prices, but. with certain exceptions, regulates the prices of single cotton yarn of American and Egyptian type by prescribing specific "margins" for each type and quality,
The controlled price of any yarn sold will be ascertained by adding an appropriate margin to the sum representing the cost of raw cot- ton used.
The system follows the general line of the existing voluntary yarn price agreement. In general, the margins fixed are appreciably low- er than those prevailing and it is hoped that one important result will be, to assist export trade.
