IMPORTS,

Long Cloths—Sales of medium and common kinds of
gray goods were made after departure of the last mail at
an advance of from 3 to 5 cents., but lately grays have
deelieed, and are now quoted 3 to 10 cents per piece
loWer than the rates given in our last. Heavy goods are
in fair request. White shirtings show a slight improve-
ment. Very many of the purchases are said to have
been made for shipments to Manilla.
Turkey-red Goods and Prints—For these, in the ab-
sence of any transactions, we can only give nominal
quotations.
Cotton Yarn—From date of our last, sales were mad•
without difficulty at the prices then given ; but within
OA past few days purchasers have shown a shyness in
doing business which has been met by holders supplying
what demand has existed at a decline of from 50c. to 1
dol. There is now little inquiry.
Woollens—ln these goods a fair amount of business
has been done. With the exception of camlets, which
are higher in price, we have no alteration of moment to

notice.
Camlets—Of English there have been only 120 pieces
sold.
iron—lmporters are holding for an advance in price,
but the dealers in the article show little anxiety to make
purchases at the rates now demanded.
Lead—There has been a better demand for this article
and an improvement is noticeable in price.
Cotton—The demand for this staple during the past
two weeks has been limited. Deliveries of former par-
chases have, however, being readily taken. Holders are
firm in refusing any decline on the rates quoted.
Opium—A fw days after the departure of last mail a
pretty active demand sprung up for Bengal drug, and
this, combined with some speculative purchases, caused
prices to advance to $530 for new Patna and Benares.
Rates have, however, gradually declined, and are now
quoted new Patna $506 50c. ; old, $492 50c. new
Bpnares, $5lO ; old, $9,750. Malwa is in no request,
and better than $445 cannot be obtained. The stock
of Turkey is small, and rates have advanced to $360,
With prospect of further improvement. From Shanghai
we have dates to the 26th ult. Patna had been sold
at $5OO, but had subsequently fallen. Prices last
quoted are—New Patna, $4BO ; old, $470. Malwa,
$425 to $430.
