OPIVII.—MaIwa, the demand is good, but in consequence of there
being no stork the prise i. nominal at 650 dole. to 700 dole Bengal
drug has continued in ear.llent demand, the eto:k reing tnequal to I
two weeks' onmumatioo. The knowledge of drug coming on cheap I
from the sixth sale alone prevent. a material advance. Today's rat. I
are 400 dull. for Patna and Itonaree. mkt y salt able at 430 dole. •
bl.eks there has been more activity than in
either of toe two preceding menthol, and for this sevon of the year a
fair amount of bunnera done. In mot cases prevams rates have been
obtained ; they may be quoted nominally as last month, and are
still too high to show any remunerative return. 20 chop. is the
quantity named ea settled, 5 or 6 being tar the American mar-
ket. The stock is considered large, there being above fifty
chops. Arrivals of the new crop may be looked for in five or six
weeks. la Souchongs ther,• hug been 'one movement, 9 or 10 chops

MANILLA, APitiL 26.-1 MPultTB,—Easter has inter-
rupted businerv, for the last two week,., and but few tranvactions in
piece goods have occurred. The USW heavy stocks are still rr.in-
tained, and the demand by the shopkeepers is merely in propoi lion
to their immediate want.. The setting in of the S.W. monsoon next
month will make business *till duller with the provinces from the
difficulty of communication Curing the rainy season.
EIMETS.—Sauna.—No contract. for ctayed are yet reported, and
dealers, in constquenee of the high prices at which the raw material
is held by the growers, refuse to enter into engagements at lees
than 4i dol. to 44 dol, per picul, which prices are above the ideas of
purchase. in •.ew of the reports on the state of markets for this
article in Europe and America. The Pampanga crop is reported
to he short. The quantity of the Taal and Zebu which has come to
market is inferior. The quotation is 2 dole. to 2k dots. for the former,
and 2 doh. to 2} dots. for the Litter. The high prices of crude sugar
keeps the Pampangs 'untitled, for the N. S. Wales markets, still at
si dons per picul.

been made at 71 dole. to 74 dole. per plea

RUSSIAN WIFE MART.—The chief opportunity of
seeing native finery is mixed up with a cur ous custom ob-
served on Whitmonday at the rummer et:rd-its, when the
unmarried girls parade themselves for the chance of being se-
lected and sought in marriage by thole who are on the look-
out for wives. These young people arrange themselves in
rows by the sides of the long avenues, attended by their
mothers, decked out in their gayest costume, white congre-
gated thousands promenade up and down in dense erowds.
The idea realises what we call " love at first sight," and is
cerainly a novel way of putting the power of Cupid to the
test. If an arrow tells, the party introduces himself to the
mother, exchanges addresses, and the matter is negotiated ►t
home. This 1/I confined to the little people—l mean those
just above the lower clam; but in former dines it wu coa-
-1 mu to all ranks.—Life in Buteis.
