CANTON MARKET. .

CANTON, APRIL 23.—1 n our last we mentioned that
the unsettled state of the question of opening the city
gates to foreigners had for a time entirely put a stop to
trade; but shortly after the determination of the Chinese
not to do so had been communicated to Mr. Bonham on
the 3d, and his Excellency's notification on the subject
published, the excitement began to subside, and we ex-
pect business will very soon resume its proper course.
