CANTON,18th August.—Eribrts.—Silk-Be-reels There have been rather more enquiry for these at somewhat under market rates.j Settlements are reported of 20 Bales each Nos. 1 & 2, Soey Wo Cheong, at $775, and 50 Bales No 1, Wang Hing, at $765. Filature-During the earlier part of fortnight transactions remained hampered by the steady advance in Exchange. Quotations ruled very irregular and dealers in general refused to meet buyers to the full extent of the cone ssions aaked. Lutterly, under the influence father improved advices from Europe, buyers have shown more r adiness to meet holders and a fair current of business has ensued, in which finest sizẹs have continued, as before, in marked favour. From sales made we quote: Sun Yue Lun 9/11 at $970/980 and 10/12 at $30, U. Han Cheong 10/12 at $910, Tut Cheong Wo 10/12 at $90,150 bales waste silk, 28 bales hair, 9 cases silk, 4 Kwong Ho 10/12 at $895 Oh Wo Hing 10'12 at $890/900, Sui Lun Hing 10/13 at $900, Shing King Cheung 10/12 at $890, Kam Lun 10/12 a $860, Ya King Lun 11/13 at $8724, Shun Kee 13/5 at $856, Po Kingo 18/22] has been done at $810. At the close there is a better feeling and prices are distinctly firmer. Best 30 Ordre has sold with considerable divergence in prices, according to the individual disposition | qu tations. of holders, the concessions obtainable these sorts being much more marked than in the case of Steam Filatures. Thus, Soey Wo Cheong 11/13 has been booked at $800 and, in the Fame chop 11/18, 13/15, 14/18 have sold together at $775, while Yee Wo Hing has placed the three sizes at $7824 average.. 8/22 has attracted attention at $890 up to $710 Increased firmness is reported from the country owing to the: require - ments of native consumption, and this class is now held for subjoined quotation, Short- reels. An easier tone, especially on "spot" silk, has resulted in some further business on the basis of $890 for Hau King, Kwong Wo Tai 14/16, $890 for Quan Wo Hing, King Seng, Mui Sie Lun 14/16 and $870 for Kum Sing Lan. This c ass moves with difficulty at present prices, but on a moderate reduction considerable transactions would result. Waste Silk There is scarcely any alteration to report in this article. The continued lowness of offers from the home markets has pro- duced a slight weakening in local values, but buyers and sellers are still too much apart for business to result. The stock moreover is composed entirely of 1st and 2nd Crop pr. duce and is there- fore more or less under undesirable.

kong, 14th August: Early in the fortnight the Mr. P. Eduljce says in his Report, dated Hong- sales noted below were reported, but since then dea- lers have shown little or no disposition to buy. Im- porters have been pressing sales at a reduc ion of from $1 to $2 per bale on all desirable spinnings, but, so far, have met with little success and only a comparatively small business has been induced. Dealers hold full supplies embracing every count and grade of spinning; and having in view the improvement in exchange and the extreme an- riety of bolders to realize, are meeting the country dewand at more or less sac ifice. Arrivals during the interval have been large and our stoc's show a heavy increase on Inst estimate. At the close, despite a stronger market in Bombay, importers are becoming very anxious sellers and would wil!- ingly submit to even greater concession, if any
