While in certain respects the ieee goods' situation appeared slightly brighter a week ago, the fall' of Kiukiang has again reduced it to a condition of uncertainty. The result has been seen in reduced Jquantities at the auctions this week and an indifferent demand.
The military situation has also operated unfavourably upon the local yarn market, a heavy decil having been recorded, while Chinese cotton has' likewise experienced a drop.
No activity has been registered in the tea market during the week, Dut silk has been steady. So far as produce is concerned interest seems to centre in the wool position.
