THE SILK MARKET IN FRANCE-Ihe
Paris correspondent of the London Times
writes that the general opinion at the
LYONS silk market is In favor OF lower
prices. and nothing will change it but
orders from America. Fears, however,
are entertained that hopes of finding a
market in that quarter are Hlu5ory, at
least for this year. The high price of the
raw material induces manufacturers to
confne themselves to the production OF
very fine silks, Of which the price Is re
markably low. The purchase of raw silk
is confined to single bales, according as
their stock is exhausted, but no large
sales are effected, nor at long credits.
