from a circular of Messrs. Durant and Co.
We have bed a moo* of ettrenie quiet in silk. At the
time of the departure of the 10th July mail, a cheek bad
already been established by a telegram asammeing good
provosts as to mop to Chia% and probable very low °wis-
ing prices. Within a few days other telegrams were received
snowman, large settlements, sad folly confirming the ex-
on as to the comparative abuodasos of the mix
ad This effectually put a stop to all businem, for although
they reported a material rise ha prices, this WS, looked
open as the result of the greatly Improved amounts from
thin side, rather than any doubt as to the probable amorist
of export. The letters delivered this morning hold out the
prospect of even a larger quantity than bad been previously
contemplated, but there is again a telegram in tows, of
later date, giving decidedly unfavourable accounts of the
prospects of the second crop, and limiting the estimate of
total quantity from China to the original statement of
30,000 bates This will no doubt have more or less effect
upon the minds and feelisgs of the importers of the large
quantity of about 7,000 bales t° be landed nut week. For
the moment our quotatieres are merely nominal. The few
traniactioss that have taken place in old silk have been at

shared in the geseral quiet, and the little ioniser dose
has bees at the same iselootioe.
