CANTON MARKET,

HONG KONG, Nov. 11.

Our import market for the past fortnight has been steady,

rent all dollars that are equal in standard to the Spanish dollar
is likely to effect this object.

the lower numbers show a decline of Mc. Nos. 16 to 24,
$l9 to $194 ; Nos. 28 to 32, $221 to $26 ; Nos. 38 to 42,
$24 to $3O.

- Our advices from Shanghai are to the 2nd instant.
After the first alarm created by the capture of the city by the

goods ; but since the arrival of the imperial troops, and their
constant ineffectual attempts to retake the place, there had been
little done.

pices.

but, previous to our last advices, extensive purchases had been
made at 10 to 16 taels for congou, short price. The arrivals of
green had been limited.

SHANGHAI MARKET, OCT. 31, 1853.
IMPORTS.

But little business has been done, the transactions amount-
ing chiefly to a few thousimds pieces shirtings for the Ningpo
market. No arrivals have taken place, while shipments have
bee❑ made to Hong-Kong ; and the American ship Tartar,
from New York, has left the port with her cargo unbroken,
her destination supposed to be San Francisco.
