Vermillion can be bought at 62 dollars to 64 dol-

demand.

Quicksilver quoted at 124 dollars to 126 dollars.
Prices have advanced from the late shipments.
Silk—Purchases of old are confined to the Chi-
raese, and the stock is estimated at 200 bales. In
new the transactions are reported at 260 bales, at
from 445 dolls. to 455 for Tsatltee during the market.
No further supplies are expected for some time. Of
Taysaam 300 bales have arrived, held at 340 dolls.
Canton Silk—Prices have declined. The quotations
are No. 1, 315 dolls.; No. 2, 305 dolls. ; No. 3, 285
dolls. The fourth crop has been some time in the
market, and the fifth will be down shortly. Con-
siderable shipments to Bombay by the recent depar-
tures.

Sugar—Prices remain unchanged ; considerable
shipments have gone forward to Bombay lately, and
are preparing for that port. 'We do not hear at pre-
sent of any for England.
Tea—Congou—Since our last the settlements of
this staple article of export have been large, though
not so great as in the month of October, 1846 (which
in consequence of the premature arrival of the new
teas in June last may be taken as the corresponding
month to the present). The clearances from the
opening of the season to this date give a total of 220
chops of Monings and Hohows, against 210 sold be-
tween the Ist of August and the 24th of October,
1846. A further comparison shows that while many
chops have been taken in barter at prices as high as
those of last:season, the general rates have ruled about
2 taels below those of 1846.
Kisho and Sunshounkio (souchong flavours) are
very slow in coming to market, 12 chops of the
former, and only two of the latter have been shown.
The supply, as we have before intimated, will be
short. The produce of the season will turn out, it is
said, as follows :

Chops.
Monings and hoonahur (pekoe flavour) ... 260
riohows (pekoe flavour)
Kishow (souchong and pekoe, souchong flavour) 35

the actual supply of congou in 1846 and 1847. Of
souchong four chops only have been sold, viz, the two
old marks ; Chune Sing at 44 taels, and two others
at 27 and 37 taels respectively.
Green teas are expected to arrive from the Typing
districts in about October, and moyunes in the follow-
ing month. The crop is said to be a fair average, the
supply of twankay will, however, be likely to run
short, as the teamen were heavy losers on the sales
of that description last year.
