SHANGHAE.

The determination to d fspatch the mail steamer a
day earlier than usual this month will, it is antici-
pated, prove of serious injury to our Shanghae friends,
whose letters will have to remain in the Post-office
here a whole month, should they not arrive in time.
Our last advices from Shanghae are to the 28th ult.
The tea market had not opened at that date, but there
had been transactions in silk of some magnitude.

little or no demand; Sycee, 136.40 dolls.; gold, 197
dolls.

The mails by the Lady Mary Wood came to hand
after the above was written. The tea market bad opened,
musters of 120 chops new congons shown, and some 55
chops sold at from 11 to 131 taels for lio-hows, and

dolls.; New Benares, 5621 dolls.; Malwa, 525 dolls.
_. British Chamber of Commerce, Canton, July 20.

The business ofthemonThhas been as follows:
Cotton Piece Goods—Shirtings, Grey—The demand
still continues inactive, and the sales made, 43,000 pieces,
show a decline. Whites have improved, owing to the
small supply at market, 2,000 pieces sold•
American goods—The stock continues ample, and fur-
ther supplies expected. The demand is not active; sales
drills, 19,500 pieces; sheetings,3,2oo pieces.
Cotton Yarn—The heavy deliveries last month have
led to less inquiry; this, coupled with the large arrivals,
has caused a redaction in prices for all numbers; 700
bales found buyers.
Cotton—Market depressed, and shows a decline on last
month's rates. Owing to accumulation of stocks, which
are exceedingly heavy, only 9,000 bales of Bombay,
1,800 bales Bengal, and 900 bales Madras have found
buyers, and it is now difficult to effect sales at the prices
quoted.

The cleality of the 110 musters of new congou that
hava driived is reported to be superior, as regards the
finest chops; there is a larger proportion than usual of
'ixtra fine, but of simply first class teas there is a defici-
ency; the others are said to be inferior in quality, both
leaf and taste, the former being much mixed, whilst
many of them are tarry flavoured, although fewer than
last year. At this time last season 230 musters had
been shown, but no prices axed, although seven chops
were shipped, rates to be agreed on the opening of the
market.
Canton Silk—The second crop has just arrived • the
quality is reported to be good, but the prices asked ex-
tray agantly high, the demand being principally for lo-
