The chests it is said will be down in a month or five weeks, and from the handsome profita maite on the few that had arrived previous to the de- parture of the March mail, we fear very exorbi- tam prices will be paid, which, from the large export and probable quantity of the line duas of the coming erop, are likely to resnit in serious disappointment. Two or three chops of fug plain Pekoe are down, but we are glad to perceive that the mania for opening markets lten bem checked by the very ridiculous pricus demandel, we hour as high as de 30. It is currently reported in Canton, that a contract bas boen made für Scented Orange Pekoes aj tls 44. We nasi saarenly credit this, as this description of tea cannot be got readly for shipment before October, by which time advices from home must have been received of the eifers produced on the marker by an early and abundant supply of this descripilon za lago. quantity of Scented Capers will materially inters fern with Seated Grange Pekorasy
The export for the season will ainown; in 51,000, ooolbs., a quantity which for exceeds alie export ef any previbus year, and with the larga stock secumu. lated in England, will probably reduce the price of the burt in the home markt to a low Agurë. The increase of the stock of teas at the end of 1843, as compared with the previous year, was 4,000,000lbs. This year (184) the shipmenty from Chung axeved those of 1613 by 1,000,000lba, The improved rate of wages, in the manufactur.. ing duties may cause an increased consumption, but we are afraid that It will not equal the in- creased supply
