last was penned still continues, no definite, of authentic news having been received from the Capital. That the young Emperor is dead is beyond all doubt now, although it has not been officially announced to the Nation, and it seems equally certain-that, if he was not actually mur. dered, he was forced to commit suicide. This terrible but it is to be hoped only temporary, chok that the cause of progress has received, brought about as it bas been by few well-known bugbears th the welfare of their country, has occasioned much concern amongst the more enlightend of the trading classes, and great anxiety as to what will be the outcome of it all is prevalent. The markets all over the country are depressed, and the Natives have very little heart to think of forward transactions, con- sidering the disturbed state that many parts are now in, and which may easily be fomented into a general Rellion if he oli conservative policy of the Gover inent is resorted to again. Hopes are entertained that a coalition of certain of the Foreign Powers will be formed to uphold the in- tegrity of the Empire, but until something de- finite is known this trade is bound to suffer With the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important of the settling days, occurring in the interval, added to the disturbing influences re- ferred to above, there is little wonder that next to nothing has been done in spot eargo, and very few of the dealers have the courage to risk indenting, except perhass for a few specialities, although it is getting fuil late to send orders for the early Spaing trade. Some of the Impori houses, bow ver, appear to be anticipating re-.. quirements in special makes and chops. The Auctions continue in full swing and seem al- most too much for the capacity of the market, the consequence being a continuous drop in Campbell, Moore & Co. prices, amounting now to from five to ten per cent in the last two months, against a rise in ster'ing rates for immediate of 41 per cent. The relatively lower rates offering for forward fran- sactions preclude much inclination to buy for the new season, as after the ex, erience of the last few years the Natives are more cautions now about gambling in Exchange. The Yarn market is without improvement and considering the large stocks the off take is not at all satisfactory. Local except perhaps for Japanese No. 16s. Spinnings are weaker in sympathy with the importe article. Cotton has declined to 13.00 for best machine ginned.
