In the past few days the aspect of the market has changed, and buying has become much more general, though the demand still looks spasmodic. Teas are cheap enough to pay well if the duty-free stocks in the United States are sufficiently reduced to let the dutiable Teas find a market. There are orders in the market for more second and third Young Hysons than were ever produced in one season, and prices range from Tls. 18 to Tig. a picul: the business done being chiefly between. Foreigners. Fychows and Local packs call for no remarks. Native Teamen are losing heavily.

SILK. CANTON, 2nd September.-Teatlees and Re-reels are very firm. A few settlements of Re-reels No. 1 Grant are reported at $600. Filatures-Busi ness has been checked by the high demands of the holders and the demand from Lyons has dropped almost completely. Stocks here, as well as in Europe being small, there is reason to think that if dealers were to give way somewhat, an active · business would ensue. From prices paid we quote: $800 for Kwong Shun Cheong 11/13, $750 for Mee Kee 18/15, $745 for Shun Kee 13/15, $740 for Kwong Ho 13/15, and Sui Lun Hing 18/15, $690/680 for Kwong Sai Lap and Hop Wo Loong and Yee Wo Lan 11/31. $685 for Victoria 16/20, $660/615 for Hin Lun and Yee Wo Lun 13/15. Short-reele-Have been in fair enquiry, From prices paid we quote: $730 for Sun Ya Lun 14/16, $720 for Kum Lun
