Messrs. JP. Bisset & Co.'s. Share. Report for the week onding the 11th January, 1908, states : This is our first dircular this year.

Our market continues very firm and the above stocks, including Langkats, are in demand. This is not a little surprising, as we are just on the eve of the Chinese New Year. Unlike this period, generally, money is aaay, with little demand for it, even amongst natives. The T. T. rate, on London to-day is 2/101. Banks.

Messrs. Arnhold, Karberg & Co.'s Fortnightly Produce Circular, dated Shanghai,8th January, 1906, states: Galinuts.--There has been a good enquiry, especially for usual Galls and a fair busi- ness has to be recorded. Suppliesof plum-shaped remain scarce and prices are consequently rather high. Still, there is a certain demand for this quality and several lots have been taken out of the market. Cowhides.-Dealers have been able to exact higher prices again. It would almost seem as if the top has not been resched yet, as there is a keen demand of which the Chinese naturally take the fullest advantage, and porhaps prices will be paid which nobody ever thought possible before. Tobacco.-Nothing doing. Fen- thers. We have to report a dull market.-Cotton.
Last week witnessed a sharp rise in value of Hankow Cotton caused through extensive pur- chases made by Japanese. Unfortunately prices in Europe are lower and export business has there- fore come to a standstill for the time being, Tal- low--White Vegetable. Tallow has been in good demand and further quantities could be placed if dealers would not raise their demands. Straw. braid.-Coarse-mottled braids, Loyeh and Split, remain in good demand little buiness has been done as this market' is short of stocks. A fair business has done in the Northern ports. Goatskin Rugs.-The brisk demand remains unabated, and every desirable parcel coming to. this market is at once snapped up, Wood.All descriptions are eagerly enquired for but, supplies remain limited.
