Mr. P. Eduljee says in his Report, dated Hongkong, 26th October:-The demand from the country having fallen away considerably, im- porters have experienced less enquiry, and to move off goods as they arrive, bave submitted to a decline of one to three dollars per balo. The willingness of holders to meet buyers, however, has not led to any increase of business, as without an outlet dealers refrain from committing them- selves, and being fairly well supplied with all COTTON PIECE GOODS---- grades of Twist from their late heavy contracts can afford to wait further developments. Sixteens are entirely out of request; No. 10s. continue to attract by far the largest amount of attention and form three-fourth of the settlements. The market closes quiet and depressed.
Local Manufacture -No business has been reported in the productions of the Hongkong S. W. and Dyeing Mills.
Japanese Yarn: Notwithstanding a further concession in rates of $1 to $3 per bale, this thread has continued quiet. Only a small business has beef put through in No. 208,, say 100 bales Settsu at $99, 100 bales Kanegafuchi and 100 bales
Ashai at $97.
Raw Cotton:-Indian descriptons are quiet, the comparative cheapness of new Shanghai and Ningpo attracting the attention of buyers entirely to Chinese Cotton, and with the exception of about 400 bales superfine machine-ginned Bengal pur- chased at $24 by the local Mill, no business is reported amongst the natives. Unsold stock about 1,700 bales. "Chinese Cotton bontinues in good request, and sales of about 1,500 bales at bales. from $22 to $22 have transpired. Stock about 500
