EXPORTS.

Cotton Wool—The purchases amount to 5,950 bales
and 2,675 candies, chiefly for the English market, at a
considerable reduction on the former extravagantly high
rates, dealers having been induced to accept of much
lower prices owing to the large supplies daily coming to
market, and the last advices from England giving a com-
paratively unfavourable account of the home markets for
the staple. The exports during the present year to Eng-
land and China have been respectively about one-eighth
larger, and one-fourth smeller than during 1849.
Opium—About 800 chests of the drug will be taken
on to China by the steamer starting for Hong-Kong on
the 19th. At the date of our last the price of opium
was 1,250 r. per chest. Last advices being unfavourable
the price bas fallen to 1,175 r.

21. 15s. to Liverpool; to London, 21. 12s. 6d. per ton;
and to China, Br. to 9r. per candy. These rates have
been ruling during the past two days, being a consider-
able improvement on those obtainable a week back,
veral thousands of bales of cotton having then been
shipped for both London and Liverpool at 21. 10. There
are now six vessels cn the berth for London and 10 for
Liverpool.
Exchange—The rates of the day are—six months'
sight, 2s. lid.; and 60 days' sight, 2s. Oid., with a ten-
dency to rise still higher, as the market is abundantly
supplied yeah first class paper. The transactions for the
