Advice. from Smyrna, of the 9th, mention sales of
opium to the extent of 26 chests at 110 p. per chequi,
leaving a stook on the spot of 80 chests. In madders
badness had been doze at maintaining prices ; 1,600
bales bad been taken at 240 to 260 p. per quintal :
stock on the spot 2,600 bales, to which additions were
daily looked fur. Of yellow berries the sales amounted
to no more than 80 bags, at 19 p., and 13j p. for
&lip, leaving a stock of 830 bags. The price of this
'Nicks was on the decline. In cotton nothing was
dokg l the Pries was lasted at 285 p. per quintal,
and the stock at 2,600 bales, Mannhetnres were
without alteration-2,000 bags of coffee realised
780 p. per 100 okee. Exchange on London, 111 to
11 p.
Sej rious apprehensions are entertained of the failure
of the ensuing oil crops in the Turkish territories,
owing to the severe frost which prevailed towards the
end of January. On this subject we have received
from a correspondent the following valuable comma.
Inication, dated Smyrna, March 9 :
The unprecedented severe frost in the latter part of the
month of January last extended over the whole of Turkey,
end occasioned, as was feared, great injury to the olive trees ;
• feet the more lamentable as following en unusually short
season, the olive crops of 1849 but just collected being barely
sufficient fur home consumption. The avenge supply of ou
in Turkey may be estimated as follows, cis.: Ist. Myteline
and the Main Northerly, 450,000 kintals ; 2nd, Smyrna and
Anatolia Southerly, 250,000 hinted' ; 3rd, Salosica, Volo,
&o , 170,000 kintals; 4th, Candle and the Turkish Islands,
200,000 Metals; total kintals, 1,070,000, or about 58,000
tuns. Of this quantity the annual export to Europe and the
Black Sea dom not exceed 250,000 to 300,000 kintals. By
the information that has been received from the various
districts it is apprehended that the damage done in the Ist
and 3rd category has been of a very serious nature ; some
plantations in the more exposed localities have totally
perished, or have shed their leaves, precluding the poribility
of 'natural fruit before the winter of 1861; the proportion
that has moped damage cannot yet be fairly ascertained,
but it is comparatively small, especially on the island of
M!teline, and et Valo, Monica, &c. In the immediate
neighbourhood of Smyrna the damage is partial, and pro-
bably one-third of the trees may produce moderately, bat in
the mere impartset districts from which it draws supplies—
each as Baindir, Aidin, &c , the prospect is less cheering;
there, too, it is said, that trees in elevated positions bare
perished. From Candice, B.mos, and other Turkish islands,
we do not hear any complaints. No probable estimate of
crops can possibly be made before the period of Saweriu• in
May, when the stele of the trees that have only partially
suffered may be more clearly ascertained, the defi.
eieney, however, in districts under the first three
sections must, under any circumstance., be very great,
exceeding, perhaps, two-thuds or three-fourths of an average
crol, which would leave only 488,000 to 490,000 kintals,
inclusive of Candia and the Turkish islands, for home con-
sumption upon an exhausted stock. This is taking the most
favourable view of the reports now current. We must,
therefore, naturally expect that prices will rule in Turkey
for the next two years above the par of the European mar-
kets ; and, shou,d this opinion be confirmed, most of the
supplies of oil of Syria, Orem", and the Barbary States
hitherto sent to Europe may, doubtlev, find their way to
Turkey and the Bleu k Sea. We than not fail to forward
any further information that we may be able hereafter to
procure towanis the solution of a question of such import-
ance to the trade of Europe. We may also add to the above
that the trust has effected a complete destruction of the lemon
and orange trees, bath here and in the Bleeds of the Archi-
pelage, especially at Scio, where the damage done to the
trees is estimated at 4,000,000 piastres, equal to 36,3631. We
are glad to hear, however, that the opium and other valuable
crops have not suffi.red, owing to the protection afforded
them by the consist. Table fall of snow that has taken place
in the growing district..
