EXPORTS.

Cotton Wool—The in masses amount t) 5,950 bales
and 2,675 candies, chic fly for the English market, at a
considerable reduction on the former extravagantly high
rates, dealers having been induced to accept f 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 f,r
the staple. The exports during the present year to Eng-
land and China have been respectively about one-eighth
larger, and one-fourth smaller than during 1849.

on to China by the steamer starting fur Hong-Kong on

been ruling during the past two days, being a consider-
able improvement on those obtainable a week back,
