EXPORTS.

Alum—Several thousand peculs have been secured at
dolls. 1.90 to 2.50 per pecul.
Camphor can be bought outside at dolls. 12 to 13 per
pecul.
Cassia—With the exception of a thousand peculs taken
for the Indian market at dolls. 9.25 to 9.75, we do not
hear of any transactions.
China Root at dolls. 2 to 2.50 per pecul; Galangal at
dolls. 2.25 to 2.50 per pecul are procurable, but no one
appears desirous of touching them.
Rhubarb—Such as remains is quite neglected, at
dolls. 15 to 36.50 per pecul.
Sugar—Prices of all kinds are well supported, and we
do not anticipate any immediate decline. In whites
contracts to the extent of 15,000 peculs are mentioned
for the Indian Market, but in the brown sorts we do not
learn that any purchases have been made. Present
rates are—

6. per pecul for No. 1 white
5.75 to 5.80 ... No. 2
5.50 ... No. 3
4.50 to 4.65 ••• No. 1 brown
4.20 to 4.25 ••• No. 2
3.90 ••• No. 3
2.80 to 3 ... for common dark.
In addition to the above we are also informed of several
contracts having been entered into outside, at a slight
reduction on those quotations.
Silk—About 600 bales of the new crop of Tsatlee
have arrived and found purchasers at 420 dolls. to
445 dolls. per pecul, and as it is understood that a very
small portion only of this season's crop will be sent to
Canton, we fully expect that these high rates will be
maintained in this quarter. In the old Nankin remaining
we hear of no recent transactions. Of Canton Silk 100
to 150 bales have been taken for India at 265 dolls. to
300 dolls. per pecul, according to quality.
At Shanghai silk has also been a good deal run upon,
and up to the 23d ultimo, not less than 2,500 bales were
contracted for at 370 dells. to 380 dolls for No. 1 ; 330
dolls. to 340 dolls. for No. 2; and 280 dolls. to 300 dolls.
for No. 3, per pecul. The second and third qualities are
said to be very abundant.

Tea—Conion Old, 11 to 15 taels ; New Moning, 22
to 29 taels; New Hollow, 21 to 23 taels.

During the past month a good business has been trans-
acted in the new Moning kind of Congou, comprising
about 40 to 50 chops, also two of Hohows. Only a few
chops of the first crop Monings now remain unsold, but
40 to SO of the second growth are on the market• Of
the old Congous 12 chops have been settled for, leaving
30 on hand.

Souchon—Taela 13 to 20. These teas attract very
little attention, only two chops having been purchased
since our last report. A few musters of the new crop
have arrived, for which the teamen are asking 40 to
45 taels.

Pekoe, taels 15 to 22. Such as remain are mostly out
cf condition, and are consequently quite neglected. No
musters of the new crop have yet come to market.
Orange Pekoe, plain taels 18 to 20, orange Pekoe,
scented ditto 26 to 40, caper Pekoe, plain ditto 8 to 10,
caper Pekoe, scented ditto 17 to 27-2,500 packages of
scented orange. Pekoes, and 6,000 to 7,000, 10 catty
boxes of scented Caper have found purchasers within our
quotations. A large quantity of plain teas of both de-
scriptions are offering, but we do not observe that any
one is desirous of meddling with them.
Ning Yong and Oolong, taels 20 to 30: 20,000 to 30,000
packages of the new crop are in the market, but not a
single purchase has come to our knowledge.
Twankay,l2 to 20 taels; llyson, 25 to 32 taels; Young
llyson, 18 to 22 taels; Imperial, 26 to 29 taels; Gun-
powder, 28 to 31 taels. Business has been principally
confined to Twaukay and Canton made Young Hysons.
Of the former 12,000 to 13,000 packages have been
taken for America, and 3,500 half chests of the latter
for the English market. A few hundred packages of
Imperial and Gunpowder have also found purchasers.
The remaining stock of each description is now very
sm all.

At Shanghae attention was generally directed to the
new Congous, which were coming forward pretty freely
and meeting with ready sale at prices from one to two
tuels below those ruling in Canton. The settlement to
the data of our last ad►ices amounted to 20 chops.
