Messrs. Wm. G. Hale & Co.'s Circular, dated Saigon 9th February, 1908, states: Scanty arrivals of grain from the Interior, and a strong demand from Java, together with enquiries from China and Japan, caused a rise in prices since our last advices. Our market closes, however, some- what easier, due to the expection of arrivals from the interior increasing.
We quote for November delivery.

Mr. P. Eduljee in his report dated Hongkong, 23rd February, says:~Since our last issue the market has been very quiet, and particularly 80 during the past week. A general disinclination on the part of buyers to continue business is ap- parent,but with importers anxious to realise their holdings in a high exchange, parcels here and there change hands whenever special inducement is offered. Values show a depreciation of $1 to $2 per bale, and as stocks are increasing rapidly the off-take for shipment is small, and deliveries very slow; a further heavy decline in prices is imminent.
Sales during the interval agregate 2,491 bales, per picul arivals 12,000, stocks estimated 80,000, and sold
but uncleared goods in second hands 87,000. Local Manufacture :-Continues quiet. · Japanese Yarn.--No stock pr transactions. Raw Cotton: Although stocks are insignificant and supplies almost checked, there is no change in the continued quietness of the raw material, both Indian and Chinese. The business of the fortnight amounts to the sale of 350 bales Bengals at $22 to $23, and of 80 bales Thoongchow at $241. Stocks 335 balos Indian and 290 bales Chinese. Quotations are $20 to $28 Bengal, and $22 to $25 Chinese.
