SILK.
CANTON, 14th July.-Tsatlees.-For Europe there is nothing doing. The demand for Bombay continued fairly steady. Re-reels.-There has been some enquiry for offers, but there are us transactions to report. Filatures-Very little has been doing during the fortnight, business being checked by the high demands of country holders and the senreity of ready silk. From prices paid we quote: $650 for Kwong Wo Hing 13/15, $630 for Kai Lun Cheong 13/15, $620 for Kwong King Loong 10/12, $610 for Kwong Hing Cheong 11/13, $605 for How King Cheong 13/15, $570 for Wai King Wo and King Wo Cdeong 18/22, $570/560 for Quan Hing and Yee Wo Lun 11/13. Short-reels. From prices paid we quote $640 for Chun Lun Hang 15/16, 3610 for Kum King Cheong 14/18 and Yut Cheong Wo 14/16. Americs remains quiet and a good deal of the purchases of short-reels made bere are evidently of a speculative nature. Waste.-A little weaker and the demand-is very moderate. Stocks :-- Tsatlees, 800 bales; Filatures, 400 bales.
SHANGHAI, 23rd July,- (From Messrs. A. B. Burkill & Sons' Circular).-London telegrams to 20th July quote a quiet market. Gold Kilin 8/10}, Blue Elephants 9/6. Raw Silk.-The week has passed very quietly. Until yesterday transactions were few and far between, but lower Exchanges have brought in buyers, and some 1,000 bales Taatlees and Taysanms have been settled. The tael prices shew little or no variation on those ruling a week ago: Exchange closes about 1 per cent. in favour of buyers. Yellow Silk.-Some 100 bales have found buyers at a further advance. Arrivals, as per Customs Returns, 15th to 21st July: 1,589 bales White, 254 pients Yellow, and 1865 piculs Wild Silks. Re-Reels and Fil-tures. A very limited business only has been done in these classes either for Lyons or America. Con- siderable quantities are under offer to New York and one or two actual settlements are reported on the basis of quotations below. The Export of Steam Filatures to date is: to Continent 500 bales, to America 767 bales. Waste Silk.-A few picula of old season's Fine and Coarse Gum have been settled at about last quotations,
