The home markets are strong, Gold Kiling is quoted at 32 Fes. in Lyons.
RAW SILK.—Since our issue of the 25th ult., prices have further advanced and whilst there are Buyers at Tls. 630 for Gold Kiling, Sellers refuse to sell unless at higher prices. Stocks of Tsatlees are considerably reduced and Buyers in the Interior are unable to replace the Sales made here.
YELLOW SILKS.—Have shared in the general advance, but business is now checked by the higher rates asked.
HAND FILATURES.—Higher prices are asked all round but business is restricted in consequence.
STEAM FILATURES.—Firm offers are extremely difficult to obtain and very fancy rates are now asked.
WASTE SILK.—The market keeps firm, with a good demand for White Wastes. Some more Fresonnets, whole bales and very common, have been taken at Tls. 34.
