We have advices from Akyab to the 6th of May,
and quote the following trade report from the
Circular of Messrs. Wienholt, Mohr, and Co. :
Since our last report of the 24th ultimo, but two
vessels have arrived; of the ships in port, the Margarrtha
Simouetha, 787 tons, Victor, 486 tons, and Superior, 456
tons, are not likely to be loaded in consequence of
dispute. about the respective charters. The tonnage of the
remaining ships amount to about 5,000 tons, for which
about 2,500 tons of cargo have been provided. The clear-
ances of this month, therefire, are not likely to reach
beyond 10,666 tons, against 33,749 tons last year in May;
the total. exports of the last five seasons, from the
Ist of November to the 31st of 'May, sums up as
follows : —1851.2, 83.937 tons ; 1852 3, 101,270 tons;
1853-4, 84 014 tons ; 1854-5, 150,226 tons ; 1855.6,
148,273 tons ; or, deducting what has been shipped to
the Straits, China, and the Coast, the exports to
Europe only during the same periods Pre-1851 2,
44,965 ton: ; 1852.3, 65,181 tons ; 1852-4, 84.014
tons ; 1854-5, 150,226 tons ; 1855 6, 143,187 tons.
Arrivals of rice have been on such a reduced scale as not
even to satisfy the demand for the few vessels in port, and
another steady rie of prices has been the consecpence ;
since the 2nd inst. prices ruled as follows .—From 25th to
27th April, 78 to 79 Ts. (84. 101 d. to 94. f.o.b. per cwt.)
28th to 29th, 80 rs. 30th April to 3r..1 May, 82 is. (9s.
5d.), and from the 4th May to date 82 rs. to 83 rs. (9s. sd. to
9s. 6d per cwt. f.o.b ) The natives have left off unhusk -
the paddy, and shippers will have great difficulty i❑ filling
the few ships remaining. For vessels still arriving no
a!ternative will be left them but to provide in ballast to

other ports. It cannot be doubted that large stocks of
paddy remain in the interior, these however cannot be
converted into rice until the return of the C,,0l
ies (labourers) in September or October, when the fine
weather sets in again. The enormous losses which,
with very few exceptions most of this season's
shipments will entail, together with the low prices for all
sorts of breadstuffs, which peace will carry in its wake, will
debar even the most sanguine and enterprising frsm enter-
ing into our trade to any considerable extent; an,' we,
therefore, look for a very inactive and dull season.
