Franco-Prasei But business has not been general, nor can it be expect Th., lower than the prices paid before business was checked by the news of the ted to be 40, until more facilities are offered by the Banks in the negotiation of Silk drafts, which at present can only be sold with great difficulty. In the estimate of total settlements are included 600 bales shipped by sailing vessels direct to England, all of which were purchased before the receipt of adverse news. From the interior we have only received about 250 bales Silk since the 25th ultimo, (of which 100 bales are contract re-reeled ks); and the arrivals for the present are expected to be almost nil, business there bei spended owing to the producers refusing to accept of a suitable decline. The unsold on this Market is estimated at about 6,000 bales.
