shipped to England, the French not having taking any.
Rum in request for Australia only, and about 5,000
gallons have been shipped since the Ist ult.
The import market shows no material change. Ow-
ing to the holidays, the sales of most descriptions of
cotton goods have been very moderate, though prices on
the whole remained pretty much the same. Of grey
shirtings about 52,000 pieces found purchasers, being
chiefly 40-inch goods. Very little done in white, little
more than 2,600 pieces having been disposed of. White
figured shirtings have been in little request, and the
prices obtained show a slight decrease in value. Of Ma-
dapollams only greys met with purchasers, bleached
goods having been totally neglected. Jaconets, both
white and grey, have been in tolerably good demand.
Book muslins of inferior descriptions have been freely
disposed of, but there is no alteration in prices. The
sales of lappets have fallen off, and the demand seems
to be confined to the lower qualities. Nothing done in
mull mulls. Prints and chintzes have met with partial
attention, and in Turkey red goods the sales comprise
only twills and cambrics. Very little doing in woollens.
Of mule twist about 1,500 bales sold, chiefly of No. 40's.
Very little demand for Turkey and other coloured yarns,
but prices without variation.
The metal market continues inanimate, and sales are
effected only with difficulty.

HONG-KONG, JUNE 23.
The market for manufactures remains in an unsatisfac-
tory state. Imports have been large, and since last
month yarn and shirtings have receded in value, the de-
cline on the latter goods being on the middling descrip-
tions. Transactions in the new congous have taken
place at an advance of about 35 per cent. on the open-
ing prices of last year.
Cotton is a little firmer. Bombay, st. 6m. to 6t. Bm.;
Bengal, st. 4m. to 6t. 4m ; Madras, st. 4m. to 7t. lm.
The sales have been about 15,000 bales, stock, 85,000
bales.

Cotton Yarn.—The sales have been to a fair extent,
but large arrivals caused holders to be anxious to effect
sales, and prices are lower.
Longcloths.—There has been little inquiry for these
goods, and stocks are heavy.
Tea.—The market during the month has been active,
and large transactions have taken place, at full prices.
The first settlements of the new congous were made on
the 10th inst., and the Don Ricardo, supposed for Liver-
pool, was dispatched on the 13th inst., with three chops
on board. About 22 chops have been received, of which
15 are reported sold, at prices from 21st. to 32t. being
about 35 per cent. advance on the opening prices of last
season. The quality of the teas received were considered

inferior.
