goods to arrive, and with the exception of White FIRE INSURANCES.Hongkongs have ruled Shirtings auction prices have gone considerably steady at $187, and Chinas have found buyers against the sellers. The Manchester market is at $80, 881, and $82, closing firm at latter far from strong, but no change is advised in quo- rate. tations, which, in the absence of firm offers, must be considered nominal.

The yarn shipments amounted to 7,000 bales to Hong. kong, China, and Japan, of which 1,500 bales are for the colony and 1,800 bales for this.
Metals and Miscellaneous.-(From Mr. Alex. Bielfeld's report.)-8th February-During the fortnight under review the Chinese New Year has passed over quietly and apparently without any great difficulty among the native dealers in procur- ing financial facilities. Business for the year has been resumed and it will be found that in spite of the grave prospects of affairs in the North, local bankers and merchants will be as keen as ever in availing themselves of every chance to profit by the fluctuations of the markets. Imports and re-
REFINERIES.-A small lot of China Sugara has been negotiated at $150. Luzons continue neglected.
MINING-Punjoms have ruled weak with small sales at $6.15, $6.10, and $6, closing steady, Balmorals have changed hands at $4 and $3.90, and Raube at $4.20 and $4,30. Other Mining stock is neglected.
