PIECE GOODS,—Ocr advices from, the Qurronts hare been far from encouraging since we Jest pul culminate in the following extract from the Chamber of Commerce circular of 2ud instant. "The demand for Cotton Goods been disappointing and with some pressure to realise, rates for most descriptions have become materially lower. For Woollens the enquiry has been sluggish and only, @ small business has transpired," Metals very quiet at former quotations, "From Plentin dluiness and lower prices are reported, and similar accounts came by last steamer from all ports in JaPax, Hiogo only excepted, The circulars published there on 18th ultimo, noticed a Letter trade in Cottons and Woollens;-the market for Grey Shirtings closed firm; Turkey Reds and Velets were in good demand; Zastres—plain and figured, and Blankets in small supply and saleable; and the lower qualities of Cloth, as also the superior kinds of Fancy Cloths enquired for at fair rates. We are forced to adil, however, that private letters dated the 27th September are not so cheerful.
this place, a small general business in Cottons has been transacted daily, but the trade in Woollens has been confined to Spanish Stripes, a few Lustres, Lastings, and an enquiry for Camlets, Particulars are given below.
