Tantlees Yokohama and Re-reels-Remain as last reported, excepting that a slight revival of enquiry in Re-reels for America has resulted in the settlement of 70/80 bales at $565/550/535 for Nos. 1, 2, 3 Grant-reeled, and $555/540/525 for Nos. 1, 2, 3 ordinary reel. Still, there is so little left in stock that even the above are nominal as quotations. It would be impossible to buy any quantity. Filatures.- Many houses have not resumed working. Others still hold for the high rates at which the market closed before the holidays and which render busi- ness out of the question, so that, unless some change for the better occurs on the home markets, reelers will be obliged to lower their pretensions shortly. The only settlements reported since our last consist of 10 bales Mee Kee 13/15 and 10 bales Kum Lun Cheong 10/12 at $655, 50 bales Kwong Lun Hing 13/15 at $630, and 5 bales Kwong Loong Cheong 11/13 at 620 For America 100 bales of third class shortreels 14/18/20, have sold for forward de- livery at $550/555.
