MARKET&

TEA.—The season 1867-8 was probably the meet disas-
trous ever known to the importers of China produce. The
Imam on silk at the commencement were great, but thews on
tea were even worse ; and It was not until the re-opening of
trade in the Canton River, in April, where the sccumuletion
of old season's tea was large, that tee could be procured at a
rate to promise a profitable return. From this quarter ekes
were advantageous shipments made. The progress of the
China export tor this season tends very much to establish the
belief in it deficient supply ; notwithstanding the high prices
there current the stock at each of the shipping ports wan
small, while the export to the United Kingdom was some ten
millions lees than lest year. Further arrivals from the inte-
rior would doubtless take place, but all accounts concur in
the probability of a deficient shipment for the lemon. The
treaty of Tien-min, if honestly carried out, cannot fail to
beer most important commercial results, and will place our
Mallow with China on a better footing than ever. 01 course
time will be required to develop all the advantage to flow team
• more extended opening of trade, but it can *namely fail to
be productive of good to both countries. With a semi-bsr-
barons power we cannot with certainty calculate on a loyal
observance of the treaty. but • repreeentative at the central
seat of government, with • farce at hand to insure him res-
pect, will probably prove the best anurity for its due °beer-
mime. The manual report of Made and navigation for 1857,
Melted only during lam month, gives much statistical infor-
mation not before published, by which It appears that the
stock of tea at the end of that year differed materially from
the estimate by the brokers been, and ad the official statement
professes to be Maid upon the actual quantity of each parcel
imported it should be correct; we have, therefore, altered our
tables accordingly, and it will be aeon that the stock in the
United Kingdom at the end of 18.57 was about 7,000,000 lbs.
more than had taro calculated ; it is at all times difficult to
estimate with any approach to accuracy the quantity of tee
lying at the various outpirs, and we therefore accept the
edictal return in the absence of other information.—(From
the annual circular of Meagre. Richard Gibbs and Co.)

COTTON.,—LINERPOOL, Jan. 13.—A limited demand
to-day, and a gnat market, at yesterday's prices. The sales

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Jam. 13.
There has been lees businare dune to-day than for some time
peat. Orders have recently been placed, end • pause will
fume until fresh one. are given mat either for home con-
sumption or export. Noils and broke. reniain without altera-
tion. The high pries of long lustre wools at present I.
exciting great attention amongst the trade. Thera is a
divided opinion as to whether the high price arises from
scarcity or not. The high price, however, is detrimental to
the program of the trade. The conned of the Bradford
Chamber recommend the formation of an association for the
encouraging the growth of long wool, and the considera-
tion of the recommendation will come before the manual
meeting of the eheinber on Monday next. In worsted yarns
there is no new feature to notice. Spinners continue well
employed to order and prices are firm. The same may be
said 01 please, manufacturers being well employed to order.

out the Bth, wheat advanced Is. to 2s. per quarter; but at

Daring the present week the wheat trade boa relapsed into
the same languid state so long reported before the end of
last month. Barley lees depressed; oats rather tending up-
werds; home maintain the advance; pees still only taken to
retell. At Wolverhampton yesterday there wee an increased
supply of wheat, which sold slowly at previous rates. At
thus day's market there was a large supply of wheat from the
farmers, and the trade ruled dull, at a decline of Is. per
quarter. Barley quite as dear. The tom en oats we. ifl

were effected with some freedom at prioes somewhat bieher
than those obtainable on the preceding market day. Subse-
quently, however, the weather having became mild, there
was Wu activity wi,hout change in value. Other articles
have ruled firm. The imports into Liverpool both from
abroad and Ireland are this week on • literal scale. Oar

previouely stocked themselves to a fair extent were not dis-
posed to operate farther. Wheat and floor were, therefore,
