Lands on the morning of the 3rd proxime, buying bas have ruled firm and in demand at $524 and $53, been af a standstill, the few trifling, transactions at which rates shares have changed hands. that have taken place being for Ningyo and the Kowloon Wharfs hve found further buyers at river markets. Nevertheless it is anticipated 36, and sales of West Points are reported at that 9/10,000 paekages of Piece Goods and 4/5,000 bales of Yarn will be despatched in the first sail- inge, by far the greater part of which has been HONGKONG, 5th Mrrch.-Amongst the sales re-cleared, and waiting for shipment the last two months, so that the rush for delivery, usually ex- perienced by importers, has been almost entirely absent this year. Although the earlier purchases were comparatively cheap their cost will be en- also extra insurance premia to cover "war risk;" hanced by an unexpected rise in freights, and the latter, however, cannot be very heavy, as it is clearly understood that the Japanese have ex- pressed their intention of avoiling, as far as The Poiho has been free from ice for two or three practicable, the ordinary routes of foreign trade. days already, so there will be nothing to prevent the steamers under foreign flags reaching Tien- tsin, the only question being how the goods will gain access into the surrounding country, the usual means of conveyance, boats and carts, being largely requisitioned by the military authorities. Private transactions have been on a very small scale throughout the interval, and never amount- ing to more than a few parkages at a time, but the delivery of previous purchases continues to go on satisfactory, and steady to firm prices have been paid at the auctions, chiefly to meet the Ningpo and up-river demand, though the Tientsin dealers took a few. Forward business has been confined to a few indets for dyed and printed goods, and there is still good enquiry for 11-lbs. Shirtings for early delivery, which it is dificulty to get in Manchester for these, manufacturers being fully engaged, but for most other makes the market there is dull and dropping.. Yarns are quoted at almost unprecedentedly low prices.
