and 7-lbs. Mexicans-Red Dragon Tls. 1,61. The quantities were necessarily very small, but for a beginning these prices are not at all unsatisfactory, especially when it is considered that the tael there is worth about 7 per cent. premium. The river markets continue quiet, as far as fresh orders are concerned, but deliveries are going on steadily of the exceptionally large quantities that have been settled here for Hankow during the last two months. The lower prices paid at Auction this week fully illustrates the difference the dealers are making for the rise in exchange.

Nail- rods have been offered at 101/-, but without result- ing in sales.-Lead-No change to report.
