The annexed on the silk market is from the cir-

Still nothing cheering in silk. Mail succeeds mail with
cootinually repeated statements of small settlemente and.
if possible, smaller expectations as to total exports. The ar-
rivals, too, ars so small that even with our continued miser-
able deliveries the stock at last shows some diminution; stall
we are almost without any visible effect upon the market.
