THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND
No. 168, are in good enquiry owing to scarcity of HONGKONG, 18th January,Still there have been Japanese spinnings, whilst in No. 108, and 12s. rather more enquiry has been experienced at no fresh supplies. No sales,
irregular rates, but mostly firmer. At the close | business appears to be greatly checked, as holders having somewhat eased their stocks are less enger to sell, whilst dealers having picked out the most desirable parcels are indifferent.
