With regard to the silk trade, Messrs. Durant
and Co., in their circular, state.:—We have a very
firm market in silk, but not very active business.
The arrivals are scanty, but our present very high
range of prices, fully is. above the quotations of
the 7th September, seems sufficient to keep the deli-
veries to such a moderate scale that our stock does
not diminish—still speculative feeling continues,
and the successive telegrams are watched with in-
creasing interest, the great point being the con-
tinually advancing prices paid in Shanghae, which
is looked upon as the most effectual confirmation
of the continuallydiminishing estimate of exports. In
Japan silk we have had a few small parcels of new
Bilk) Which have been taken at rather full prices.
Bengal silk has had a full share in the business of the
month, but any material advance in prices seems a
slow affair. The next periodical public sales are
fixed to commence on Wednesday, the 24th inst.
