-The chief features of the week have been the continued enquiry for American goods and the inception of the an extraordinary demand for Yarns. Of the former spot cargo has received there have been some additional purchases for more attention, especially in Sheetings, although the late Spring delivery. The accuracy of the estimate we gave in our last of 100,000 bales negotiated during the previous fortnight has as the aggregate of the forward transactions been questioned in one or two quarters.

Tientsin is in want of goods and the bulk of the purchases this week are undoubtedly for that market, where stocks have got very low. Chefoo has assisted to a certain extent, but Yarns appear to enjoy most favour there. It is reported that the Yellow Biver is once more devastating the country through which it flows, which, together with the recent disastrous fire in Hankow, may to some extent account for the quietness of English makes, as they are largely consumed in those districts. The Auction results do not indicate any particular activity in the local or neighbouring markets. The Yarn market pres sents a very active appearance and a decided advance in prices has been established for all Spinnings. The local Mills have sold freely and greatly reduced their stocks, in fact all but a few of the higher counts have been disposed of,
