close we hear that further business is pending, but doubts are expressed as to the practicability of limits, they being cast very low. The market closes quiet but steady.
Local Mill products are firmer all round and sales of about 1,000 bales No. 108. have been effected at $91), prices showing an advance of fully one dollar per bale. The demand for for- ward delivery is keen and some large contracts extending to the end of the year have been entered into.
heen has Japanese Spinnings.-Business entirely confined amongst the natives on the basis of $15 to $108 for No. 168, and $108 to $113 for No. 208. The market is bare of stocks and j new importations are impracticable in the face of | unfavourable exchange and high prices ruling in Japan, and as-a consequence Bombay No. 20s, are in growing request at increasing prices.
Raw Cotton. The market for Indian descrip- tio ns has been quiet and business continues to drag. There is little or no buying by exporters. as Japan seems to be unresponsive and our local Mill would appear to be entirely out of the market. The total settlements of the interval amount to 1,630 bales at from $19) to $23, with an estimated stock of about 4,500 bales. There has been nothing doing in China Cotton: new season's importations are not expected to arrive before the second week in October. Quotations are Bengal $18 to $23 and China $23 to $26.
Exchange on India closes to-day at Rs. 145 for T/T and Rs. 1454 for Post, 73 on Shanghai and 51 per cent. premium on Yokohama.
