As was expected, the China New Year holidays, which have extend ed over the greater part of the past week, have been reflected in this market, which has consequently been very quiet, America and the Continent, however, have sold moderately and there has been sufficient demand from the Indian bazaars to maintain the price at} about the level which was ruling jast week, the fluctuations in the quotation being very small. Today, there are indications of China buying as well as India and_ the price has advanced to 31d., with a steady undertone.
