IMPORTS—SUNDRIES, The English Mail of the 28th January arrived on the 18th instant per Ganges. The China and Swconada had brought up the Strait Times Extra, and a portion of the Mail, the former having arrived on the 16th and the latter on the 17th instants, respectively. Tele-ins vii Kiachta were yesterday received. Silk quoted firm, Tea little doing, Cotton unchanged. That Lord Clarendon has promised to suspend the ratification of the China Treaty is named, but thers is no confirmation of the rumour of the death of Mr. Burlingame.
The market for Imports has been rather gqiet holders being very firm for rates higher than those quoted from Tientsin. The goods this season appear to have arrived too soo, the continuance of the cold weather preventing dealers forwarding purchases into the interior. There is therefore a temporary glut and prices recede, Stocks are Tig, tod when parcels begin to be sent inland prices will no doubt rapidly warrant the firm attitude here. The S. 8. N. Co.'s new steamer the Shaninny arrived on Saturday vii the Suez Canal, having made the passage in 58 days from Glasgow. (Gt steaming.) The weather is fine and seasonable, and we look forward to a satisfactory Import trade for the coming season.
Grey Suinrtscs.—During the past week steady busines has been done in 8].1b. goods, and our Jast quotations have been fully inaintained. The dealers have been eager buyers, but few Importers will sell at present prices. Stocks are getting low and the feeling existe that ere long holders will obtain their own rates viz. Tls. 2.30 per piece, ordinary delivery. There are few 7b. goods on offer, and an advance of lo. per piece on this class hae been established. The demand for the heavy makes hasbeen languid, and the market wears 'a drooping aspect.
Wunre Sumrises,—Are unchanged in va-Me. Purchases to a fair extent are reported.
T-Crorus.—Are lower, and if holders continue to thrust their stocks on the yen a still lower range of prices will be the rem mult. About 40,000 pieces have d hands during the week at reduced rates.

Darus.—There is no change to notice la these goods. The sales have been trifling and rates are slightly easier.
Fasey Corroxs.—S Shirtings, Brocades, Turkey Reds, Chintzes and Hanker-chiefs, have all been enquired for at former quotations. Little business however, has resulted, A sale of Dyed Damasks is reported at Ts. 4.65 per piece. Other kinds of fancies shew no change.
Woottess.—Are in no better when we last reported. Long Els worse, and may be quo ly Be, per piece lower. C.P.H. Scarlets are being offered by the silkman, who accepted them in barter, at Tie. 5.90 per piece. And a parcel of well knows chop assorted has been forced off a Tls. 5.70 per piece, Camlets, Lastings, Crapes and Spanish Stripes remain as last quoted with a dill market.
