HABUTAI,
KANAZAWA. The ket has continued to de line owing to the want of support, and there is every possibility of even a further decline during the coming month. The only enquiry appears to have been enfined to 23 inch for Europe. Echizen. The downward tendency con- tinues, and in symathy therewith the quality of the production has deteriorated. The demand has been very small, and there is nothing of interest to report. Kawamata. For 20 inch the market is very weak indeed, and prices have considerably relapsed. The only enquiry
for this Habatai has been in connection with 36 inch goods,
CAMPHOR.
HONGKONG 17th April:-There is no market. The prices are the same.
