Messrs. Polishwalla and Kotewall's cotton yarn report says: "The brisk demand from the interior together with the keen desire of Chinese buyers to make complimentary purchases at the beginning of the Chinese New Year strengthened the market, and with a sudden rise of from $5 to $10 a lo, good business was done, passing 3,000 bales. The constant heavy fluctuations in the rupee exchange are greatly disturbing the market and embarrassing forward business. At the close the tendency was firm. Sales 3,100 bales. Unsold stocks 2,800 bales. Uncleared 16,000 bales. Arrivals from Bombay 9,000 bales."—Reuter.
