CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REPORT,

The fortnightly Price Current and Market Report, published by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, siates ---

Cotton piece goods and fancy cotton goods.-Since our Jast report very little has been done in the way of new business. The high exchange and the possibility of further advances are factors which largely influence buyers at this juncture. Our local market for staples continues firm."

No. 16s at $275,305. No. 20s at $310 340. Arrivals 11,500 bales. . Sales 1.000 bales. Shipments Ni Unsold 5.000 bales. Bargains 22,000 bales.

Woollens. Market good: reasonable prices are being realised by those importers who had the courage to order small stocks on speculation account. Sales reported of flannels, camlets lastings, serges and alpaccas.

CHURCH NOTES.

We take the following from Church Notes (St. John's Cathe dral magazine):--

The Church Body met on August 20th and had some import- ant business to transact. An appeal for the Cathedral Hall was considered and adopted. It was decided to appeal for $35,000 for the building and furnishing of the new Hall, and a form of appeal was approved. So it is hoped that real progress will soon be made and that we shall soon see the beginning of the build- ing operations. The resignation of Mr. Pattenden on his leaving the Colony was accepted with much regret and Mr. T. D. Moor- head was elected to the vacant seat on the Church Body. The subject of mural memorial tablets. was discussed and it was agreed that as the space available for such tablets in the Cathedral was limited, it was not advisable to admit new ones unless there was some special reason in the parti- ST.
