for requirements; mediam and common are still out of favour but, we think, will have to be taken in the absence of best. No. 20s. continue to attract attention chiefly for the Northern markets and are 50 cents to a Dollar firmer in special spinnings. Sixteens and Twelves of desirable chops are salable at a small advance while No. 10s, still retaining the premier position as to demand, have become irregular in value.
Local Manufacture: The Hongkong S. W. and Dyeing Mills have not raised their selling prices and sales of about 500 bales No. 10s and No. 12s, at $87 respectively, have transpired.
having in view the excited state of the home Japanese Yarn:-Aro very strong, and holders markets, the depletion of stock, and the higher cost of importations, are holding entirely aloof; fined amongst the natives on the basis of $101 10 the businces of the fortnight being chiefly con-
$103 for Settsu, and $99 to $101 for Ashai and Kanegafuchi No. 20.
Raw Cotton-Reports of decreased estimates in American and Indian crops have led to a suart advance of $2 to $3 per picul both in imported and Chinese descriptions and sales reported are 700 bales Toongehow and Ningpo at from $22 to $24, and about 500 bales Bengals at from $19 to $22, the local Mills being chiefly in evidence, Unsold stocks are estimated at 1000 bales Bengal and 300 bales Shanghai. We quote Bengal $17 to $22 and China $21 to $24.
Exchange on India has slightly advanced and closes to-day at Rs. 157! for T/T and Rs. 158 for Post. On Shangbai 714 and on Yokohama 3 per cent discount.
