CHINA.
CANTON MARKET REPORT, AUG. 21.
Though the principal features that have been noticed
lately as affecting our import trade still continue in
a measure to exercise their influence, we are en-
couraged to think that such are becoming daily less ;
and the more so, as the accommodations are more
readily attainable.
We must, however, remark that the whole course
of present business is purely confined to meet the
actual demand, and that no spirit of speculation has
yet manifested itself.
Cotton—The transactions during the past month
are reported at 12,000 bales, the greatest part for
actual consumption. The stocks in Chinese hands
are very light, and the accounts from the interior
more favourable. This induces us to believe that
the demand next month will be on a more extensive
scale.

Bombay—Sales have been made to the extent of
9,000 bales, showing a rise of 2 or 3 mace on common
and middling, and about 2 mace advance on the finer
kinds. Our quotations are for common and middling
5.6 to 7.1, D.P. Good to fine, 7.6 to 8.
Madras—The sales reported are 1,200 bales, show-
ing a slight advance. Holders are firm. Good to
fine, 7.8 to 8.4, D.P.
Cotton Yarn—Sales have been effected to the ex-
tent of 900 bales, showing a decline of 2 to 2i on
last prices. The stock is large, and with expected
arrivals we anticipate a still further reduction ; the
more so, as Chinese holders are quitting and forcing
the market. We quote Nos. 16 to 24, 25.2 to 26,
D.P. ; Nos. 28 to 32, 27 to 30, D.P. Nos. 38 to
42, 31 to 32, D.P. Imported, 550 bales. Delivered,
316 bales. Stock, 4,310 bales. Same period last
year, 2,250 bales.
American Yarn has declined 3 dolls. since our last
advices, say for sales reported; quoted Nos. 16 to 26,
24 to 24k, D.P.
Long Cloths—Sales to the extent of 75,000 pieces
grey and 16,000 pieces white have been made, prin-
cipally in barter for teas. We quote—Grey, 56 to
68's, 2.15 to 2.60; white, 2.35 to 2.80, D.P. ; grey,
72's, 2.70 to 2.80 ; white, 2.95 to 3.10, D.P.
American Domestics, 40 yds. 36 in.—ln conse-
quence of a small stock prices have advanced, and a
sale of 3,000 pieces is quoted at 2 dolls. 80c. to 2 dolls.
90c., D.P.
Twills, to the extent of 1,600 pieces, have been
quitted for 30 yds. 30 in. at 2 dolls. 40c. to 2 dolls.
42c., D.P., showing a decline of 6 cents ; and 5,000
to 6,000 pieces, 40 yds. 30 in., at 3 dolls. 30c. to
3 dolls. 35c., D.P., at a decline of 5 cents, which
may be attributed to recent large imports ; and prices
are likely still further to recede as further arrivals are
looked for.

Woollens—Sp. stripes.—Prices have not varied, the
sales are estimated at 3,000 pieces, chiefly in barter
for teas, at 1 doll. to 1 doll. 25c., D.P. Stocks are
moderate. Our quotations for B. B. and Co.'s and
Gott's marks are as under :

8.23 ; light blue, 7.50 ; yellow, —.7 ; ash, 6.10 ;
green, 8.23, D.P. The sales are reported 7,500
pieces, assorted colours, at 8.10 to 8.50 ; 2,500 scarlet
at 10 to 101. Stocks are moderate.
Habit Cloths—No change to notice, quoted at
1.40 to 60, D.P.
Medium Cloths also remain without alteration, and
quoted at 2.20 to 2.40, D.P.
Camlets—Sales are reported to the extent of 001
pieces English, at 17.214, D.P. In Dutch no trans-
actions. Stocks of both small, particularly the latter.
The Dutch are falling off in consumption, as the
manufacture is not thought so highly of by the
Chinese, being too fine, and wanting in weight and a
glossy exterior ; they are quoted at 20 dolls. to
26 dolls., D.P.
