Mr. P. Eduljes says in his Report, dated Hong- kong, 27th September.-Demand from the country bas greatly subsided and business until towards the close was very limited. The market, however, bas been subsequently somewhat enlivened by the appearance of buyers for Shanghai and the Northern Ports where the signing of the Peace Protocol would appear to have restored confidence in an early and brisk revival of the trade. The enquiry has been general and almost all counts and grades of spinnings have been dealt in; No. 108. receiving as usual by far the largest amount of attention. Prices, however, have declined 50 cents to a dollar per bale and are weak at the close; holders are anxious sellers and sales are being vigorously pressed. With small receipts and comparatively larger off-takes a further satisfactory falling off is observable in our estimate of stocks which are now brought within a reasonable compass. The market closes quiet.
Local Spinners are firm at last quotations and doing a steady business, total sales of the interval amounting to 450 bales No. 10s. at $914.
Japanese Spinnings.-There is no change to note in the position of these threads. Supplies are conspicuous by their absence, and the state of the home market renders any business impractic able in face of current exchange.
Raw Cotton. - In Indian descriptions the market has been quiet and the amount of busines
Prices have given way done has been small. about 50 cents per picul in the ordinary run of Bengal, but for machine ginned rates have been maintained. Exporters for Japan have been in some evidence and about 1,000 bales have been shipped off. The business of the fortnight comprises 95 bales at from $19.15 to $223, leaving a stock of 3,500 bales on the market. There is We quoted still nothing doing in China Cotton. Bengal $18 to $23 and China $24 to $26.
Exchange on India closes to-day at Rs. 144! for T/T and Rs. 144 for Post. On Shanghai 73 and on Yokohama 51 per cent. premium.
The undernoted business in imported and local spinnings is reported from Shanghai during the fortnight ending 21et instaut, viz:
