Silk circular :—" Busirress in the silk market through-
out the month of January was upon the most limited
Scale, the lower classes of being unsaleable, and
the good and finer sorts were firmly held at the
Previous advance in prices—our quotations now show
a further decline of nearly 10 per cent. in the
Inedium kinds of China and Japan silk, but the best
remain nominally without alteration—during the past
Week some appearance of activity has sprung up, and
the cheapest parcels offering have been taken to the
extent ofl,ooo bales, giving a temporary firmness to
the market. From Shanghai the latest telegrams to
the 7th January give the,total settlements, including
hisans, 42,000 bales : stock 1,000 ; prices were rather

grades of black tea, which have met throughout

.recent sales of these shown an advance of id to id

have, on the other hand, found no proportionately fairvalue, and the firmness of importers has for the most
Part prevented any extended transactions in them, while
the demand for fine and finest Monings and Kaisows
continues only moderately active at barely late rates.

pair-chests 1 s 3d per lb, but Sew, if any in boxes remain

able--medium iu in kinds are o ffering at much reduced prices.
Transactions in scented teas have been moderate, but
hots of Canton descriptions are maintained. Foo-
