Mr. P. Eduljee says in his Report, dated Hong- kong, 6th July. A good demand continued throughout the greater part of past fortnight, and our market has further advanced one to two dollars per bale. Spot stocks of desirable spin- nings are now practically all sold and the atten- tion of dealers has been turned to neighbouring markets, as well as Bombay, for further supplies, and heavy contracts have again been entered into. For the last two or three days dealers do not appear to go on, as from previous experience they have found it to their disadvantage to plunge too freely, more particularly in the face of such conflicting political advices as have been lately receiving from the North. The market closes quiet but steady.

Local Manufactum.-Sales of 200 hales No. 108. of the Hongkong S. W. and Dyeing Mills at 889 have been reported. This Mill, which had ceased running during the last two or three months owing to financial and other considerations, will in all probability resume work in about a week| under more favourable conditiong and with the old efficient and excellent management hids fair to enter upon a prosperous career.

Quotations are No business has been done in China Cotton, the Bengal $18 to $22, Tonquin $18 to $20, and China $22 to $24.
Exchange on India, which continued steady with slight fluctuations during the interval, has receded during the last day or two and closes weak to-day at Rs. 145 for TT and Rs. 1451 for Post. On Shanghai 721, and on Yokohama 6 cent. premium.
