Mr. P. Eduljee says in his Report, dated Hongkong, 2nd August.-The long expected demand has at last, made its apprearance, and business has greatly developed during the past fortnight, and sales aggregating 13,579 halos have been reported. Prices are rising steadily, but we do not think the advance will go much further, as holders induced by a rising exchange are anxious to push business while the demand lasts. During the late period of depression stocks in the interior became, practically ex- hausted, and now buyers find themselves at a disadvantage on a rising market. At the close demand appears to have somewhat fallen off, but importers having more or less eased their holding can afford to wait further developments. With small receipts and considerable offtakes our estimate of stock shows a heavy decrease on last figures.
The market closes quiet and
unsteady.

No. 68, and 88.-Neglected throughout. No. 108.--Have, as usual, attracted most attention and values show an appreciation of $2 to $4 per bale.

No. 16s. Although in small request, may be called $1 to $2 higher.
for
No. 208. The high prices now asked Japanese spinnings are diverting the attention of dealers entirely to this count and nearly 4,000 bales are reported to have changed hands at an advance of $2 to $5 per bale, although in special instances as much ac $7 have been obtained.
Local Manufacture. Sales of about 800 bales No. 10s of the Hongkong S. W. and Dyeing Mills, at $35 to $86, have transpired.
Japanese Spinnings.-Holders are very firm and no new business is impracticable. Prices in Japan are still $5 to $6 above the equivalent of those ruling here and any forward contract is out of the question. Sales of about 1,000 bales at from $96 to $101 amongst the natives are reported.
Raw Cotton.-The failure of the rains in the cotton districts of the Bombay Presidency has led to a reaction in our market here, and holders have withdrawn stocks from the market by asking an advance of $3 to $4 per picul. Buyers are responding slowly to the enhanced cost and during the interval sales amounting to 281 bales of Bengal descriptions have transpried, say 100
bales.
Local. Total sales about 2,000 bales (both packed and unpacked), prices obtained being Tls. 60 to 68 for No. 10s., 6 to 62 for No. 128., Tis. 63 641 for No. 16s., market closing very weak with anxious sellers.
