Dear Sir
I am in receipt of your favor dated 6th inst, and have to thank you for your
information concerning Niboes.
The principal object of this letter is merely to inform you that a decided
improvement has taken place in cotton yarn and that contracts for 300 picols
have been offered to me at Itzbs 204 per pic. At present a good assorted lot
would fetch easy Itzbs 212 per pic and there exists a lively demand for this
article.
A good assortment would be
I expect better prizes, as soon as the cheap stocks ar cleared off, which
are still in hands of the japanese here.
Turkey red cloth is in good demand and 2 ½ catties I sold at Itzbs 13 per p:
Of Taffachellass I have sold a few thousand pieces at Itsbs10 per p: and
there remains good
Enquiry. Prints are dull on account of heavy public sales effected by same
japanese importers. T Cloth is also difficult of sale and for Drills is very
little demand.
Woollens have very little improved and only scarlet camlets are in favor and
saleable at Itzbs 70 per p:
Sugar is in very good demand and No.1 white sold at Itzbs 43 per p other
qualities in proportion.
Nailrod 1/8 inch I sold at Itzbs 16 per pic and could easy dispose of 500 p
more, at a similar prize.
Arms quite dull.
Under the favorable position of this market for same articles, it would be
very advisable to make up a well assorted cargo for this place, and if the
same would arrive within 3 weeks, the same would give a very
satisfactory result no doubt.
I have send this letter by a special messenger, in order to inform you as
soon as possible of the change in the position of this market, and hope you
will avail yourselves of this opportunity.
By the regular mail I shall write you more particular.
Arrivals are Str Hongque, Str Ocean Queen and Runymede, but of cotton yarn
nothing and of grey shirtings t.red cloth and sugar only small quantities
have arrived.
I remain
Dear Sir
Yours obedt servt
