CANTON, 3rd November.--Macao Congous. Settlements during the past fortnight amount Shanghai and Hankow ...22,949,123 to 2,500 Boxes at Tls. 12/22 per picul, shewing rather better value. The Fourth Crop Teas are now beginning to arrive, but none of the true Honeysuckle flavoured have yet made their appearance. The quality is said to be good, better than last year's, but the quantity is expected to be small, as the low range of price ruling at Macao offers untives, no inducement to send down large supplies. Scented Capers. The fortnight's settlements are reported at 15,000 Boxes at Tis: 9/22 per picul, making 230,000 Boxes to date, against 270,000 Boxes up to the same date last year, when buying had ceased for the season. The total settlements will bring our Export up to 44 mils, and as only -10,000 Boxes are now required to make it 5 mils. we must increase our estimate for the Season to the latter figure, but we do not think it will go be. | yond that, as there appears to be no inclination, on the part of buyers, to be further interested.

Green Teas.-Pingsaeya-The market for these has again hardened, and a fair business has been done at an advance of Tls. 3 to Tls. 4 & picu: from the lowest point.
Country Teas.-Althỏngh_buying is by no means general the demand has been strong enough to cause a further rise in prices, and many recent purchases are fully 25 per cent. higher in tael cost than settlements made early in the seaɛou. Native Teamen are difficult to deal with, and in a few cases are witboiding their Teas from the market. A large proportion of the shortage in this season's crop consists of low lines, say Twankays, second and third Hysoos and Young Hysons and second Imperials. Hysbus.--A renewal of demand for Teas under Taels 32a picul has kept prices up to former level; finest and choice bave been irregular and in a few cases show easier rates.
