STATE OF THE MARKET AT CHUSAN.
(From the'Friend of China, Sept. 14.)
From Chusan we have received a full report of the state at
the market on the 20th of August. The prices in Ningpo at
that date were very similar, but the business
.of the port
quite trifling, certainly not sufficient to warrant the expen-
sive consular establishment to which our correspondent
" Vinde-x " refers in our issue to-day. So long as Chusan is
in our possession, Ningpo will be a place of limited commerce.
Merchants prefer
.Chusan as a place of residence,. and from
the contiguity of the other port, they can at all times cross
in a few: hours and satisfy themselves of the state of the
market. Buyers also appear •to give•a preference to the
Chusan market, probably because they, be bribing or smug-
gling, save a large portion of the import duties.
