The Shanghai Markets. Pisos Goods.A Report on b. the Shanghai markets, dated February 9, states: Closed. į ¤. ́ ́Auctions are suspended for three wecke and general trade, "of course, is suspended. Early in (n. "the week there was some buying of white shirtings for Nawawang, but for all intents and purposes. the market is closed tight, while merchants are either away at their -ancestral homes or straightening out their accounts, Baginess,will- not open again until February, 18.. and the first auction will be that, of Kangping on February 26 by which date the merchants aim to be back. Those who take a pessimistic view of things fail to see how the market can open strong so there is fighting - 80' close to Hankow, obecking
entirely the Yangtus inquiry, and b. so long as the trouble between Nerth-and-South. remains un- settled just so long will bussiness be doubtful. On the other hand there were rumours yesterday that Northern forces had reosptur- | sa. ed Yooho and if this is so ab. more optimistic view must prevail. n. Once Chins settles her internal
b. disorders, prices maat advance steadily as the demand increases, A. until they are somewhat nearer
b. the parity of Home prices, Yazn. The yarn, market, too, ia stand- ing etill expectantly waiting for the holidays to end and the expected advance in rates to corne, n. Holders are not ready sallera at present prices, the market in-n cressing in strength, and the n probabilities are that when the merchants get around to business 1. again about February 15 mach higher rates will be ruling; much depende, however, on the political- military aituation. Bombay re- ports another advance of B1, 66 per bale, patting 10's up to Rs. 380-400 and 12 to Rs 395-405;" so that the gulf to be bridged between Shanghai and Bombay prices are ever widening. An im- provement in the local market must inevitably follow an im provement in the political situa- tion, bat so long se the highway leading to the greatest yarn. baying provides, Ezecbusu, ia blocked by belligerent troopa the gap in prices must remain un- bridged, importers being content to hold their oargoat.
