following :
We have little or no improvement to notice in the position
of the silk market. Occasionally during the pest month a
disposition to do business has appeared, resulting in some
transactions of importance, but the market has again re-
lapsed into inactivity, and our quotations of to-day show a
decline of about 6d. per lb. on those of the previous mouth.

added 2,003 bales from Ningpo, 1.500 from Canton, end
1,500 froni Japan direct, making the total export from all
China and Japan abut 90,11;.10 bales. Of the new silk, 5,000
bales had arrived from the interior, 900 of which had been
old or contracted for. The prices caked by the dealers
were excessively high, 430 teals (over Zs. per lb. here)
Fling demanded for standard No. 3 nettle.. In Bengal
