~ales• This confirmed consumers in their previous
liteterrnination to abstain from purchases, and we have
arrivals
a fortnight of very small business. The large
4_rriValS so long expected have commenced and will
acontinue next week, in the meantime importers are
silk
to be moving, and prices are barely supported.
134i;1e deliveries continue to be only moderate. Bengal
„:I,k Shares in the general quiet. In Japan silk we are
