Yarn.—This market is also quiet, there having been no business at' all passing. There being no demand, stocks are increasing rapid-
The week has been fairly quiet, for, although there has been more talk of business, very little was actually done. Rapesced can noi be sold at Home at a price, but people cannot get near the figure on this side. The Chinese hava made offers, but there is a difference of as much as 20 per cent. between buyers and sellers. There is.a continued inquiry from Home for feathers, at) advanced prices. Several Chinese dealers are oversold in this commodity and so there will be-a shortage. Ege products, too, have been the subject of further inquiries and prices are still very firm. Albumen has _advanced about 20 per cent. in London. Groundnuts are also being asked for and, though Home prices are a little better, they are still not high enough to permit of business being done.
Prices have not come anything like up to expectations and what business was done was more of a speculative nature than anything. Northern traders are still too nervous, whilst others, influenced by the conditions of the moment, made such low offers that very few transactions could be entertained.
