These reductions, coupled with the extension OF
the trade 10 the porIs situated in he productive
provinces instead OF being confined 10 a corner OF
the empire, will greatly increase the commercial IN
tercourse with China and lead TO a large export TO
that country OF the priucpa fabrics OF England IL
Is necessary 10 keep IN mind, that this Increase mus
necessarily be gradual Some increase viii no oouo,
take place immediately; but when II Il recolecteu

Forwarded from Singapore and Manliia, agaihst a,
bout 400 900 pieces at the corresponding period Of
Last wear; whilst the shipments OF yarn amount 10
$500 600 ID, being also very large increase upon
the previous years business; II must be obvious that
the probable increase has been fully anticipated, and
that great caution will be necessary 10 prevent the
m irket from being greatly overloaded.
THIS ARRIVAL brlugs accounts OF the To suit OF some
OF those American shipments TO CHINA, which
caused so much sensation IN this country few
mouths ago. Although bat a moderate portion Of
the "domestIcs" which were shipped had arrived
In China. they were solliog at very low prices
Cloth which had cost 9. 81 TO los sterling Id Inc
Udted States, had been sold at two dollars fifty
cedts; aud Just before the departure Of the steamer
two dollars thr cents, at which latter price there
would b. an enire loss o. the interest aud charges
Oie cargo OF American cotton, consisting OF 2, 800
sale nj canton, but did not appear 10 suit the mark
et at all the Chinese iacturers not approving
OF the staple, and part OF II had been sold at about
Sd per pound, price certainly not calculated to en-
courage further shipments. The price OF cotton
was, however, altogether much depressed al Can
ton, and the unavorabe accounts from thence
likely TO cause considerable shipments from Bombay
10 tins couatry.
We understand that letter received from the
eastern coast of China fully confirms previous state
ments as 10 the extent of the trade carried on In
woollen cloths from Russia, by which the export OF
woo lens from this country has been almost ami
hilated. The Russian cloths, which are sent by
land through Tartary to Pekin, are found In large
quantities IN all the towns the great rivers OF
China, and probably throughout the central and
northern provinces, The recent reduction OF the
duties and the extension OF the British trade into
the provinces where woolens required, will
most probably cause great change in the trade
Business at Canton had been quite paralyzed by
the PRONUNCIATION OF the tariff, but there was every
probability OF good demand for British manulac
lures as soon as IT came fairly into operation. The
EXPORT OF tea to England tor the year amounted to
Az millions OF pounds, OF which about q millions
had been lost al sea; and with the usual allowance
tor reduction OF weight, the supply Tor this country
viii be about A millions OF pounds, which very
slightly exceeds the annual demand for consump-
ton and export.
