THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND
Canton, 30th July.-Export.--Silk-Toatlees and Ho-reels.-There are n transactions to rec wd in these arte. Filatures- Vt the lower level of prices reported in our last, quite a fair business developed during the earlier part of the fortnight on the basis of $1,000 for Petiteler and Best 2e Ordre 911, $930 940 for Best-2e Ordre 10'12, $925 for Mec Kee 11 13, 880 for Yee Woo Cheong 18 22 Sales Ordre were affected at $930 for 11 13, 13/15¦ and $795 for 14/18. A sudden rise in Exchange, am unting to about 3 per cent. since the 9th instant has, however, effectually blocked further transactions. Dealers approximately uphold values, awaiting developments in Exchange- but in the absence of business, closing quota tions are more or less nominal with a weakish tendency. Short-reels.-A little mov ment took place in these; since chocked also by the advance in Exchange. Some 7.80 hales found buyers on the basis of $330 for Kwong Shan Cheong, Hau King Lon 14:16, 8905 for Quang Wo Hing, Kum King Cheong, $99 for Chung Sun Hang, Kwong Lun Hing and $365 for King Wo Cheong, Yee Lun Cheong, etc. Waste Silk iees are upheld very firmly in the producing districts by the allnes of supply. Buyers and sellers conse- quently remain apart, with business practically at IL standstill.

Mr. P Eduljee says in his Report, dated Hongkong, 31st July-The firmness assumed by holders alluded to iu last report, was not of long duration, as shortly after the departure of the Mail a disposition was shown to again 1-0 dealers and during the juterval close upon 6000, bales, but prompt and forward delivery, have been settled, particulars of which are noted blow. The principal factor at work has been a further advance in exchange. Large importers have been more in evidence and although Rupees show only a rise of two points, rates have liean run down in special instances as low as $5 per bale and are very weak at the close. | The last two days there has been a pause in the market as sellers having somewhat eased their stock are less eager to sell while buyers having picked out the most desireable spinnings are indif- forent. We close dull and depressed.
Local Manufacture: The local Mill has lowered its prices $1 to $2 per hale, but so far no increased demand has been experienced, and the business of the interval comprise 100 bales 108. at $102, ¦ and 150 hales 12s. at. 106, close weak.
Japanese Yarn:- somewhat small enquiry for these threads has resu ted in the sale of 400 bales Miiko 208. at $13 and 20 bales Settsu 203. at $132. Close unsteady.
Raw Cotton-Trifling salos have taken place, ¡ as dealers are reluctant to commit themselves in view of the proximity of the new Crop and the collapse in the American market.

The Szechuen market is said to have shown further improvement, but 48 far as we hear the dealera have not yet began to replenish their stocks. It is said the merchants are doing very well with their spring purchases. There has been a little buying for the River l'orts. the purchases for the most part consisting of Indián Yarn For Tientsin and Nowchwang we don't 142.00 hear of any business having been done. American 170.00 | Cotton has ri en again, the latest quotation for Mid Orleans being 8.40d. with the Liverpool mar- ket quiet. Egyptian Cotton is cusier and is now quoted 8d. The Manchester market is report- ed steady and is inclined to be easier, but prices are not yet nearly low enough to allow of businesə. Here and there certain manufacturers who have run into stock are quoting lower prices in order tor duco their holding, but we do not hear of many purchases having ben made. The Nativ.. merchants and dealers here, and even some Im- porters; are very mistrustful of the future and we are not at all certain that even much lower quotations wou d'tempt them to buy in quantity at present for their spring requirements,
