The market for artificial silk yarn is more active, and Shantung dealexs are reported to have bought 2,000 but probably nearer 2,000 cases during the week, Prices have stiffened a little but the advances are not sufficient to give the dealers iny appreciable relic. There are still weak holders in the market and. the Shantung buyers know it.
Tientsin continues to be a small buyer, but should there be any demand from this market, prices will advance as present imports are below normal. Dealers are fervently hoping that shipments will continue to be on the same small scale to allow present stocks to come down to a reasonable level in relax tion to the demand.
There is no change in the local market.
