These hopes were, however, speedily dissipated by the market being opened at ex- treme rates, which by the eagerness since evinced has been further raised to almost prohibitory rates. It is, however, a circumstance, no less gratifying than significant, that by far the greater portion of the purchases have been made by young and inexperienced houses, while the large and well established firms have carefully abstain- ed from entering the market. As it is notorious that the operations of the large mercantile establishments in Shanghai materially affect the range of prices, there is yet hope that their influence may be sufficient to neutralize in some measure the effects of the ill-advised action which has been adopted by more sanguine houses. The same remarks apply in a great measure to the tea trade, where a large stock in first hands...”
