Strings, also medium qualities of White Shirtings, and Hankow merchants have bought some 6oo cases of low quality Fast Black Italians from stock. Bombay Yarns also have strengthened all round owing to Tientsin and Newchwang buyers having come into the market and prices show an improvement of about Tls. 2 all round for 20's and 16's, whilst 10's and 12's also have advanced about a tael to a tael and a half.
In American goods Newchwang buyers have at length come in freely for Drills, the prices of which are strong and advancing while some 2,000 bales Sheeting. have also been taken off the market and reports are current that there are orders in hand for further quant ofthe latter, one of the principal native hongs having telegraphic news in from Newchwang of an improved tone and much better movement of stocks there.
The cause of the latter cannot be detailed until letter news is to hand, but is in part attributed to reduction of taxation in Manchuria while the opening the Customs at Tairen that took place on the 1st instant has now put that port of entry upon an equal basis with Newchwang in the matter of duties.
The discrepancy between values ruling here as compared with those now required in America is shoving in the fact that telegraphic offers received during the week requiring 12/84 for s-yard Drills, and 11/8 to ult for gh-yard Drills, shipment required being October/December equivalent to about is. 4.65 and Tis 5.30 the Market here being at present about Ts, 045 per piece lower while in Sheetings the difference is very considerably greater.—From Messrs. hhaeer & Co.'s report of July 4, 1907. of 20 cwt tallow 40/-
