C A.N TON MARKETS.
.(From the Overlap IFriend of China, July 22.)
Another month of inactivity has passed, and the only
article which has improved in value is raw cotton, the
sales of which have been considerable, and are still pro-
gressing,. A partial failure of the native crop is re-
ported, but this requires confirmation, foreign letters
from Shanghai making no meetion of such a fact.
Nothing worth mentioning has been done in any other
article of import, as foreigners still demand higher rates
than the Chine.se are willing at preent to pay.
Raw Cotton—The sales amount to nearly 19,000
bales, about 17,000 of which have been the Bombay
staple, at 3 to 6 maces advance.
Cotton Yarn—About 300 bales have been sold atabout
previous rates. The stocks now remaining vkil be be-
nefited by the late Advance in raw cotton. High num-
bers are still most in request.
Cotton Cloths—The sales have been nearly confined
to those in Chinese hands. Foreigners are not offering
their stocks, while the natives are selling what they
have at some slight reduction on quoted rates, and it i*
expected they will soon be out of stock and compelled
to enter the market and supply themselves from foreign
holders. The sales heerc been only about 8,000 pieces
gray and 5,000 whites in Canton, and 2,000 pieces white
in Hong-Kong.
American Drills—Of these considerable sales have
been effected at rates rather below those previously ob-
tained. Of 40-yards goods, sales of 12,000 pieces are re-
ported, and of 30-yards, 2,000 pieces.
In Spanish stripes nothing has been done, and thej do
not yet attract much attention. In a month or two
market may be expected.
Long Ells—About 4,000 pieces have been sold at about
previous rates. Starlets fluctuate in price
Camlets—Nothing doing.
Lastings—No sales reported.
Iron is without much alteration at present, but several
parcels arriving both here and at Shanghai may affect
the market, which is always a very sensitive one.

Lead has slightly improved in value.
in metals generally.
Sandalwood—There have been several arrivals, but
prices keep firm as the article is small in stock and
wanted; fine Malabar is worth 14 dolls. to 15 dolls.
Straits produce, such as pepper, betel, nut, rattans, &c.,
all sell freely, and as the market is seldom overstocked,
prices are most generally remunerative.
Opium—Malwa has kept up from 880 dolls. to WOO
dolls.; the fluctuations have been but few. Patna has
seen many changes this month, the lowest price 'having
been 620 dolls., and the highest 685 dolls.; at present it
is at 660 dolls., and advancing. The Lanrick's non-
arrival when expected is the cause of the present rising
market, aided by accounts of high prices at Shanghai,
and a partial failuiv of the native crop. A fall in Shang-
hai and the arrival of one or two vessels with the 9th
sale drug would probably bring Patna far within 600
dolls. Benares is very difficult of sale, and is not much
affected by the fluctuations in other kinds, as its use is
vey limited; the present quotation is 620 dolls., the
lowest price of the month was 590 dolls. Turkey is
nominally 600 dolls., but very difficult of sale for the
moment.
