SILK.

The following notice Or this market is from the
Monthly Circular of Messrs. Durant and Co.:—Oar circu-
lar of the 21st alt. reported a quiet state of market ; this
kas continued as a general feature, but some large parcels
of China Silk have been taken at intervals, and the deli-
veries are very good. Almost immediately after the de-
parture of the January mail some of the importers of China
Silk became impatient, and submitted to n reduction of 6d.
per lb.—this effected their object to a small extent, but the
trade was scarcely prepared to take freely—and for a few
days parcels were offered rather anxiously without finding
buyers. In some instances even rather lower prices were I
accepted. During the last week, however, importers have
shown more confidence, and prices may now be quoted at
only 6d. per lb. under the prices of January—this has re-
ference only to tsatlee. Tayseam has generally been taken
upon snivel at full prices, except about 400 bales of the
lower classes which were forced upon the market at the,
weakest moment and sold at a trifle under previous cur-
rent rates. In Bengal Silk we have to repeat the report of,
last month, " continued scarcity of coarser sixes and lower
qualities, and undiminished difficulty with the throwsters."
The mills are all fully occupies. In Italian silk the ar-
rivals continue rather lees scanty, prices a shade easier. In
Brutla silk we hays been without any importation, a steamer
is just in with 80 bales. In Persian silk the imports during
the month have been 290 ballots from France, all of which
bad been sold for arrival at previous prices.

undergone little or no change.
