SILK.
CANTON, 18th June. The result of the 3rd crop cannot yet be ascertained. T'satlees. Nothing doing. Re-reels-Have been in general enquiry for America, but buyers are unable to pay the prices asked on this side and no further business has been done. Rates are very firmly maintained in the country owing to the shortness of supplies to date. Filatures-Have been in active demand for Lyons, especially during the first half of the fortnight, when the bulk of the remaining 6th crop stock was bought up on the basis of $630 for Kwong Shuu Cheong 11/13 and $610 for Best 2nd class 10/12. Comparatively little has been offering in new silk, owing to the smalless of 1st and 2nd crop Cocoon purchases made by filature houses. Rates have strengthened consillerally during the last few days, and prices asked for the new production show in the recent sales many cases an advance on of 6ita crop silk. Beelers will be obliged to draw largely upon the supply of 3rd crop and it is consequently" "probable that values will be still further enhanced, even should that crop
prove
one.
