A. fairly active demand has been experienced throughout the past fortnight, and some 10,500 bales have changed hands at about late rates. Here and there some slight fluctuations are noticeable, but on the whole the market may be termed unchanged. Dealers after holding off for a considerable time, appear to have accepted the situation, but strenuously stand against any advance in price; importers, on the other hand, strengthened by telegraphic advices from Bom- bay, are inclined to be firmer for their holdings of best quality. Sixteens are still in short supply and one or two favourite chops have changed hands at fancy prices and the demand still continues. The market closes strong and with a gloomy outlook for the prospects of the New Indian Cotton crop; we shortly expect to see a higher range of prices ruling.
Local Manufacture.- The firmness of the local mill has more or less checked business and sales of only a hundred bales No. 10s. at $98 have resulted. Market continues steady, spot Јарадеве. stocks are exhausted, and sales of about 500 bales Noa, 168, and 208., eight to ten weeks' delivery, have transpired, say Sakai and Kurashiki No. 168. at $116) and No. 20s. (Miike) at $1284, Hirano at 128, Settau at $125 and Kunegafuchi at $126.
Raw Cotton-Indian descriptions have con- tinued steady in sympathy with the firmness reported from the other side, whilst its compar ative cheapness to yarn equivalents appears nɔw to be attracting the attention of buyers. Our local Mill has been much in evidence, more than a moiety of the total sales reported during the interval being credited on their account. Settle-
