CANTON MARKET REPORT.

HONG KONG, AUG. 22.
Our import market continues in a very depressed state,
and, besides the causes previously affecting it, latterly
heavy floods have further interrupted trade.
Cotton is lower. Bombay, sto 6 taxis ; Bengal, 4.8
to 5.8 taels ; Madras, .5.4 to 6.4 taels. Sales only
10,000 bales. Stock, 100,000 bales, against 150,000
bales last year.
Cotton yarn has declined. No. 16.24 $17.1.- to $l9
No. 28.32, $2O to $221 ; No. 38.42, $23 to $25..
Longcloths—The low rates induced a speculative de-
mand, and about 47,000 pieces were taken. The stock,
however, is heavy. Quotations are—greys, $1 20c. to
$2 20c. ; whites, $1 45c. to $2 60c.
Woollens—Spanish stripes, assorted, 70c. to 90c. ;
long ells, for an assortment, $5 70c. to $6 10c. ; scarlet,
$5 10c. to $6 10c. ; camlets, English, $l5 to $lB4 ;
Dutch, $l9 to $2l.
Metals—lron has again declined. Nail rod, $2 20e.
to $2 40c. ; bar, square, $1 70.. to $1 80c. ; flat, $1
70c. to $1 80c. ; round, $2 to $3 90c. Tin plates, $5
90c. to $6 10c.

Turkey opium, $330.
Cochineal, $9O to $125.

Tea—During the month large transactions have taken
place in congous, and at higher prices. Late advises
from Shanghai caused much activity in the market. The
settlements have been about 80 chops at 18 to 30 taels.
39 chops remain on the market, affording but a poor
assortment, and for which extreme rates are asked. Of
fine teas none remain.

Bullion— Sycee silver, 5 per cent, premium; gold,
$2l 40c. per tad.
Freights to England are looking down, and quoted 31.
From Shanghai we have dates to the 7th inst. The
reported successes of the insurgents counteracted any
inclination on the part of dealers to take imports. Un-
usual exertions had been made to procure funds for pur-
chasers of silk, and a fair business had been done, but,
owing to the scarcity of money, and the advance in
price, the settlements of tea limited.

_ .
Longcloths—Sales of damaged goods supplied the de-
mand. Cloths weighing lilb. were quoted $1 25c., but
no sales of importance could be made. The imports
since the Ist of January last are estimated at nearly
2,000,000 of pieces, and a stock remained of about
1,500,000 of pieces.
Tea—An advance on the opening rates had taken
place, and settlements of congou were done at 14 to 20
taels. About 43 chops had been settled foi, against 133
chops last year. There remained on the market 24
chops, for which full rates were demanded.
$290 ; inferior,
Silks continued to arrive, although not so freely as at
first. Fine quality was likely to be scarce, but a fair
supply of the other kinds was expected. Nos. 1 and 2
