Flowery Pakoss: Common to medium, no sales; fine to finest, no sales. Scented Teas: Common to medium, 18 taels, short; fine to finest, 28 to 86 taels, shyrt; sales, 15,656 boxes.

CANTON-Country Congous: Three chops have been taken at from Tls. 17 to 18, leaving a stock of 54 elops or 3,764 pkgs. Although musters of a few chops of the new crop have arrived, it would be pre- mature as yet to express any opinion concerning them. Country Greens remain unnoticed. Canton-made Teas: Considerable settlements have taken place both fin Scented Orange Pekoes and Scented Capers; prices bave been somewhat irregular, but as a rule they are tending upwards. Canton Congou of new make has received rather more than usual atten- tion, and Gunpowders have been inquired for to a moderate extent. Quo- tatlons are as follows :-Country Congon, Tis. 17 to 18; Canton Congon (new make), Tis. 24 to 27; Young Hyson, Tls. 22; Scented Orange Pekoe, 23 to 32; Scented Caper, 13.5 to 29; Gunpowder, 20 to 27.

Ells, and Lastings show a slight improvement in price, a slight demand having arisen for these goods; Long Ells continue very scarce. Metals: Lead continues firm, as a Canton demand still continues; other inotals remain much as before reported. Coals continue firm; a cargo of 1,100 tons Bristol Channel Coal has been suld at 16 dols, per ton ex ship.

SHANGWAL-The market has somewhat improved; the arrival of the steamer from Tientsin having given un impetus to several articles-any | improvement in that market acts favourably on prices hero, Grey Shirt ings are in fair demand, and holders not forcing sales, prices are steady at quotations; best Eagles 8 lbs. 4 oz. tis. 2.00. T-Clotha: A little lower for inferior makes, hat best goods still wanted; of these there there are but few. White Shirtings are quite neglected; Drills in better inquiry and prices rather firmer. Woollens: Long Ells have been placed to a fair extent at tis. 7.95 for H.H. assorted, and 7.20 for CP.II.; Scarlet do not maintain their value of a fortnight since. Camlets: A few sales of favourite colours are reported at fair prices, but ordinary assortments continue very dull of sale. Spanish Stripes: 1.II. have been | sold at 65 cents per yard; the demand is not active, and in other woollens there is no new feature. Metals: There is little change to note; buyers have fairly supplied themselves; stocks have not been increased, and prices remain about the same; Nail Rod, for best brands, tla. 2.50 to 2.55 per picul. Couls: Stocks have been increased by the vessels named as arrived from Sydney, and the cargo of the Lady Alice from Nagasaki.nate settlements, consequently, at only 125 piculs, which have been Quotations: Cardiff, from ships' side, tls. 15, N. Wales, tls. 14, nominal; English, s. 14 to 15, nominal; Anthracite, tis. 13 to 13.50, nominal sales, to arrive, at tls. 13.25.

YOKOHAMAA decided improvement is noticeable in Grey Shirtings and Cotton Yarn, and a good business, both on the spot and to arrive, has been done in both staples at a slight advance on our last quotations. Stocks of Yarn are very light. We have to notice a contract just con- cluded for 156 bales, to be delivered in six weeks, at the following rates :— 16 to 24 $08, 28 to 323 $70, and 38 to 12s $78. A fair inquiry has commenced for Chintzes and other light summer goods, and it is worth notice that, in consequence of rumours that the Freuch contracts for Black Cloth will be anunlled, this article is again saleable, and a slight den and has sprung up. Most other Woollens continued quite inactive, a forced sale of Camlets SS at $15.50 being the only transaction calling for reimark. In Metals, more business is doing; a demand existing for hoop and Nail Rod Iron and bead, and some improvement in prices is apparent,

CHINA EXPORTS.

TEA.

YOKOHAMA.The new season has been opened by the arrival of about 700 piculs of medium and good medium tes, the bulk of which was bought to complete the cargo of the Benefactress for New York, at an unneces- sarily high figure: say from 27.50 to 30 dollars. The quality of this tirat sample is not satisfactory, but considerable arrivals are now daily expected, when we shall have fair opportunities of judging of the character of the new crop. The remaining stock of last season's tea is about 2,000 pieuls, and quite unsaleable. We give no quotations, therefore, for any but the kinds at which, as we have state?, business has been done,

SHANGHAL-Black.--A small inquiry has sprung up during the past few days for the now Ningehows and Hohows, and as much as Tls. 94.0.0 has been paid for a chop of each kind. Settlements have been light, but a very large amount of reshipments have taken place. The rates paid for the finest Teas are about equivalent to those ruling at the opening of last season, but fair and medium are obtainable at somewhat easier prices. Settlements for the fortnight, 3,700 chests; reshipments on owners' ac- count, 68,400 chests; stock, 46 chops, or 26,500 chests, 72,100 chests. Quotations.-Hobow, fiue to finest, 323 to 34 tla. per pcl.; Oonam, com- mon, 23 to 28 tis. per pel.; Ningchow, fair to finest, 29 to 34 tis. per pel.; Oopack, 29 ds. per pel. Green. Only two chops of common Tea bave been settled during the fortnight at Tis. 23.5.0, and the season is nearly closed. Settlements for the fortnight, 415 half-cheets; stock, 9 chops, or 5,000 half-chests.

|

HANKOW-The business of the fortnight has been exceptionally large, and shipments continue on an enormous scale. Two settlements of finest Teas have been made at full rates, while medium to fine have advanced in value early Tis. 2.0.0. At the same time sales have been somewhat irregular. Quotations were-Oopacks and Con-sou-kais, medium to good, Tis. 24.0.0 to 29.5.0; finest, The. 30.0.0 to $1.5.0 Ocnams, fair to ane, Tis. 19.0.0 to 24.5.0. Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1867, 11,591,467 lbs.; export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1866, 7,414,926 lbs.; increase, 1867, 4,176,541 lbs.; stocks, 29,000 chests. KIKIANO-Black Teas: About 25,000 packages are to hand. With the exception of the purchase of two small chops at tla. 26.0.0 nothing was done on the market till the 11th, when six full chops of finest Ning- chows found buyers at ths. 25.5.0 to 28.0.0 per pical, and since that date little has been doing. Quotations were:--Ningehows: Finest, tia. 25,0.0 to 28.0.0. Export from 1st January to 15th Jane, 1867, 15,097 packages; export for the same months of 1866, 17,106 packages; stock, 30 chops; decrease 1867, 2,009 packages. Green Teas: Nothing has been done.

Fooenow. Congou: The price for the finer descriptions has continued firmly supported during the past fortnight; the rates for the commoner grades, which were slightly easier after the departure of the last mail, have advanced to about the former scale, in consequence of the demand for Australia. Souchong: The teas, being generally of good quality, have been freely taken for shipment to the United Kingdom; a large propor- tion of this description is more or less "tarry." Oolongs: Full prices have been paid for these kinds, but rates are now slightly easier; the demand for America has not yet commenced. Scented Teas: Those at first offered were deficient in scent, the Bowers being very backward; the teas have in many instances, however, commanded full prices; those now coming for- ward are better scented. The Taewan, bound for London, baving a cargo of 789,500 lbs. of tea, struck on the banks outside the mouth of the river, and is likely to become a total wreck. Sales for the fortnight and prices are as follows:Congou: Dust and broken leaf kinds, B to 9 taels, short; ordinary common, 10 to 14 taels, short; good common, no sales; light flavoury, 19 to 24 tals, short; good favoury to medium Kysow kinds, 25 to 82 taels, short; fine Kysow kinds, 82 to 40 taels, short; sales, 81,326 chests. Souchong: Common to medium, no sales; good to

SILK.

YOKOHAMA.—Business has, of course, been on a very small scale during the fortnight. The exhaustion of our stock is sufficient to account for this, even with the general suspension of home orders, consequent on the fear of war and uncertainty regarding the new European crop. We esti-

bought, generally, at a slight reduction on our last quotations. Stocks do not exceed 250 piculs, chiefly of mixed, low kinds. Reports from all the districts within reach are most favourable regarding the crop of 1867-8, which, it is generally expected, will show a marked increase over that of the season now closing. The weather has been all that could be wished, both for the worm and its food.

SHANGHAL. During the past fortnight considerable transactions have taken place at higher rates, and the settlements are estimated at fully 4,000 bales: making a total of 5,700 bales since the 1st June. The de- mand has been chiefly for chops and good silks, and lower grades would have been bought at comparatively cheaper rates. The late arrivals fully confirm former fears regarding the coarseness of the new silk, the parcels to band being chiefly very fall in size, and owing to the hurried manner in which the silk has been packed to meet the increased demand at this port many of the settlements are much mixed in size and quality. Thus far the reports of the second crop from all districts are satisfactory, and the Chinamen are unanimous in asserting their belief that we shall have fully 45,000 to 50,000 bales of China silk available for expert. Arrivals hav- ing come forward freely, the unsold stock has increased to 4,000 balos, and about 9,000 bales are known to be close at band. From Ningpo 300 to 400 bales have been received.

CANTON. After the arrival of the English mall with rumours that the total yield of the Continental crop would be much smaller than that of last year a good demand for fine silk sprung up. In the absence of stock, buyera in their eagerness only succeeded in forcing up the rates without obtaining any cargo. In the producing districts it seems that native specu- lators have bought up nearly the whole second crop, which they are now keeping back. Tsatice reels are very scarce. Quotations are as follows :- Loongkong, No. 1, 560 duls. to 566 dois.; Loongkong, No. 2, 545 dols. to 550 dots.; Kowkong, 600 dols. to 510 dols.; Kerected Cumchuck, 595 dols, to 600 dols.

The British ship Chanticleer, from Saigon June 2ad, reports having ex- perienced light southerly winds and fine weather during the passage. On the 5th at daybreak, when off Collao Ray, a long and low piratical craft very heavily rigged, carrying a stadding sail of European canvas and stink pols at the mast head, came out from under the land, and at 9 AM, bore up in the wake and gave chase; she was about three miles distant at the time, and the wind was light. She kept in chase all day until nine o'clock in the evening, by which time she had come up to within three quarters of a mile distant, when the breeze fortunately freshened and the vessel began to crawl away from the pirate, who at once hauled his wind, firing two guns, and ran in for the land again. On the 8th at noon, in lat. 19.50 N., long. 112.25 E., passed H.M.S. Urgent.

COOLIES AT NEW ORLEANS. In connection (says the New York Times) with the reported arrival of coolies at New Orleans, brought hither to be used as labourers on the Mississippi sugar plantations, it may be interesting to know that Ah Yuk, a Commissioner from the Chinese Government, has concluded contracts with a number of Lousiana, Alabama, and Texas planters to bring 5,000 more Celestials to this country for their tise, and that they will arrive within a few months. Ah Yuk intends to bring them here himself, and will remain in New Orleans for a few months after their arrival to insure the fulfilment of the requirements of the contract, among which is an agreement that in case of the death of any of the labourers their remains shall be returned to China at the expense of the employers. The planters expect to profit greatly by the introduction of this class of Jabour, to supply the places of the women and children of the freedmen, who are now supported by their bushands and fathers, and attending schools, instead of working as field hands as they did when slaves.
