TIM AVON, which arrived last week with the
West India mail, brought the largest and most valuable
cargo ever known. Amongst the cargo was an enormous
quantity of cochineal, amounting to above 2000, bales or
serous, about three times as much as is usually brought in
the Wet India packets. A full cargo of cochineal was left
behind at Ilonduras fur the next steamer. Thu demand
for cochineal hero is owing to the large exports of that
article, principally, it is stated, to BUsSia.
