Messrs. Wheelock & Ca. report:—Japan Coal:—The China New Year Holidays are now over but the native dealers have not yet returned to commerce and we think it very unlikely that there will be anything doing for some time to come; in the meanwhile reports 40 hand from Japan are to the effect that the market there continues firm.
Kaiping Coal:—Very little change has taken place since last writing.
Owing to the China New Year the market has, as usual, remained quiet and although deliveries under contract have been regular ther little fresh business to report. Stocks are much below the average and the demand for better grades is in excess of the supply. permission.
