For scene short time after departaFe o; as
was a fair demand for most of the stapie -
port at advancing rates, and a prospect of filol
upheld generally obtained. The arrival (V Ow
Ann Folliat on the 23d, and the Albion on the 241 h it: t
month, threw into the market heavy supplies of .
goods, which were subsequently increa,, d by th,:,
of considerable quantities t.f Lang Cioi its ;1,-,to!
from Shanghae to this market, both of which cireura-
stances caused some anxiety on the part oftiolders of
Piece Goods to realise. Prices gave way, and dealtrs
became little desirous to increase their stock. The Ban-
tinck, arrived from Shanghae, broueht from that place
some 30,000 pieces Shirting. Importers, however
looking at the high rates which were ruling In England
at the departure of the 24th January mail, are generally
firm in holding for advanced rates. and it is expi-cted
that a good business will be done during the months of
April and May. The Peninsular and Oriental St. am
Navigation Company have placed the Lndy Mary Wood
on the line between Hong-Kong and Shatighie), which,
opening up a quicker communication hetweett:the_great
southern and northern ports, will came these 'markets tO
assimilate more than they have hitherto done.
