VALPARAISO MARKETS.

Our /Alpaca «) advises, dated the 20th August, supply the
following report of the markets daring the month:—
The badness intimated daring the month has not realised
the expectations of our merchants, neither in respect to sales
nor prices. The reason is that the unusual length of the
rainy season has prevented the country dealers from coining
to Valparaiso, and, besides, the disposition of the buyer. is
not to pay higher priors. Some sales have been effected in
suitable summer stuffs, at remtmeratiog prices. In prints the
gales have bean limited, and at a shade less than last quota-
tions, I mint for suitable patterns. Cloth is not in season,
and therefore dull. Alpaccas are more abundant, and have
lowered a shade. Linens are still unsaleable in the face
of higher prices la England. We have had a fair demand
for bakes. The odes 01 German manufactured articles have
also been limited. We have had several snivels of silk
