TEA.—Black: The amount of business actually trans-sacred during the pant even days has not been large, the reported figures representing much that was done several days before but not publicly declared. There has been an indisposition shown to operate in the face of an uncertain export—uncertain as to whether it will not quote equal, or even exceed that of last year—but certain that under any circumstances it cannot be other than the veriest trifle under it. This might have been foreseen weeks back, and how it was not is indeed difficult te realise. The range of price of the past week is Tls. 17} @ Tls. 23, Why various purchases should in some cases appear at one tael per picul under the prices actually given (and perfectly well known to people in the market) is somewhat strange. The stock is large, viz. 55,000 chests, and every steamer from the river adds to it.
Green: A large business has been transacted, and to put a great deal into a small space the thing la being altogether overdone for both America and England, and as nearly the whole of the Tea over medium class is proving remunerate, there is no guarantee that we shall not receive a big total for the season. The natives are being rapidly relieved of the risk and responsibility of holding their produce and are eager to obtain facilities for repeating their already Inrge operations. The stock is 55,000 4 chests, and important arrivals from Kiukiang are daily looked for.
'S1Lx.—The mail steamer which left on Wednesday morning took 986 bales, but a considerable quantity is being shipping round the Cape to meet the Spring demand, six vessels in port have about 800 bales on bourd. Settlements since the mail have been 300 balis at previous rates, The stock does not exceed 4,500 bales and much of it is being held for higher rates, no signs of weakness being shown. Rates in the interior are atill high, and as over 60 per cent of the crop has already been sent away, there seems small chance of a lower range of prices.
Orium.—There being but a slack demand for Malwa the market opened at Tls. 495, which remains to-day's rate. In Bengal drug there is no change, though the rate ruling is New Patna may be quoted at Tls. 435 and Old SHANGHAI SHIPPING, AnntvaLs.—October 9th, Tycho Brahe, str., Liverpool Nyassa, Neweastle W.8.w.
