7HE BRAZILIAN MARKETS.

By the arrival of the Magdalena we learn that
the arrivals of wool at Buenos Ayres during the
month amounted to 85,000 arrobas, and the sales to
125,000, included in which were 500 bales washed
Cordova, 300 for the States at 34 rls., and 200 for
England at 331 rls. ; stock of Cordova 250 bales,
buyers at 331 rls. Arrivals since the commence-
ment of the season, 1,765,000 arrobas; total sales,
1,545,000 arrobas. The article was in good
demand. Rates for freight continued without
change ; but very little cargo was offering, as
the activity at Barracas was rapidly declin-
ing, and little produce coming forward, either
from the country or provinces. There was no vessel
on the berth for the States, and no cargo offering.
The coffee market at Rio Janeiro remained languid
between the departure of the Tyne for Southampton,
on the Bth April, and the close of the mail per
French steamer Estremadura on the 25th. Buyers,
owing to the continued unsettled state of affairs in
the States and the high range of prices, remained
much on the reserve in expectation of a decline in
prices, whieh might have been looked for from the
increased supplies. Sales during the above mentioned
peridd were confined to 52,700 bags (about half of
which for the States) at a decline of 100 reis in the
better and 200 reis in the lower descriptions. The
weather had for some time past been extremely
fair and steady ; hence supplies came forward very
regularly, the average during the past month having
'been 8,000 bags per diem. Some parcels of the new
Serra Abaixo crop had been received, showing a
better quality than usual in the first receipts of
pevious crops. It was, however, reported from
the lowland districts that in consequence of the
long duration of rain a great deal of fruit had
been lost, and that the yield would be considerably
less than was calculated upon. The total
amount of bills on London negotiated for this
steamer was estimated at £600,000, at 261d..and
26N. Business on France was regular at 360 to
362 reis. Little or nothing done on Hamburg.
Freights—England, 455. to 505., per cent. ; Eng-
lish Channel, 655. to 705., 5 per cent. ; Antwerp,
655., per cent. ; Hamburg, 65%, 5 per cent. ;
Mediterranean, 655. to 755., per cent. ; United
States, 60c. to 80c. ; Havre de Grace, 60f., 10 per
cent.

Exchange at Bahia closed at 26,3 d. on the 13th
ult. Transactions at the beginning of the previous
week occurred at 260. for 30 days, and 26td. for
90 days, but subsequently drawers refused to grant
these rates. Superior qualities of sugar having been
in brisk demand higher prices had been conceded-
-1,750 per arroba for ordinary Nazareths 2,000 to 2,200
for regular Bahias, and 2,400 for picked browns,
2,600 to 2,800 for regular qualities, and 3,000 for
picked whites. Very little doing in tobacco, and
prices remained at last quotations—viz., 5,300 for
seconds, and 6,300 for first. No freight charters
had been effected, and rates were flat.
Business had been very dull at Pernambuco
during the month. Imports were moderate. The
scarcity of tonnage had caused great dullness in
exports, and a weak exchange in consequence. The
transactions in exchange by this mail was limited,
the amount not exceeding £60,000, principally at
26d. ; a few small amounts at 25-7-,d., with some cre-
dits. Discounts-10 per cent for four months' bills,
and 12 per cent. for six ditto. In sugars there had
been very little doing. Entries of cotton amounted
to about 1,000 bags, which were sold at various
prices from 8,000 to 8,400. Several.lots of Paraibas
had changed hands at 8,200 to 8,400, and a lot of
Maceios at 8,000. Freights for the Channel from
475. 6d. to 555., and to Liverpool 375. 6d.for sugar.
The American brig Souther was chartered to load
at Maceio for Liverpool with cotton at tid. per lb.
and 5 per cent. primage. The import market was
in a very unsettled state, and great difficulty was
experienced in effecting sales, arising from the un-
willingness of dealers to increase their liabilities.
