Gray shirting, of 46 inch of all descriptions have dechoed
2 annas per piece, but 40 inch fully maintains iu value.
T cloth and domestic us still much wanted, and their
value has further improved, as has also that of long cloth,
particularly of the heavier makes. Maddapulam un-
changed. Jacconet in more moderate inquiry than at old
last

Bleached Ooods.—The inquiry continues very limited
for all under this head. Twill?, the inquiry has fallen off
a little—the middling and better class of Shirting are in
moderate inquiry, but Jacconet :and Satin Sputa are dull,
and the former looking down in consequence of rectal
imports.
Dyed Ooods.—Turkey Red Plain and Twill Cloth are
still very heavy of sale, but Mull is in slight inquiry.
Fancy (loads exhibit no signs of improvement, and
their position as noticed for several Math past remains un.
altered. The only descriptions at all in inquiry are Low
Lappet, Lappet Scarfs, and Dboties with Fancy borders.
Cotton Yarn.—The market has been tolerably steady,
with bat moderate enquiry. 20 and 30 Mule support their
value as last quoted, but 40s. upwards show a slight de-
cline. Water unchanged, except 20 which has adsatieed I,
little, and is in demand. Dyed Orange steady at our last,
and readily saleable at full prices. Turkey lied oo 04

Woollens.—We have no transactions to report, and the
market is very dull.
Metals.—The inquiry continues exceedingly inactive,
and transactions are entered into very limited scale. Swe-
dish Bar Iron continues in good demand, and Round Nail
Rod has advanced in value, whilst other sorts are mu, . the
same es at our last, 675 Candies English liar Iron,

able nature, and which has since given a turn to the
market. Oomerawu to Gugo and Surat are the only de-
scriptions yet down, prices of which have declined, eneept
for the latter, which at present is in small quantity. Of
old Cotton, prices are also lower, and stocks are very small
on the Green.
. . . .

Sheep's Wool.—A Brood business continues to be done
on Native account at lull prices.
•

Linseed.—Supplies have come in more moderately of
late, and the busmen; reported is very limited at previous
prices.
Opium.—Accounts from China received on the 10th
instant, via Calcutta, were again of a most iLsrouraging
kind for Mehra, but our prices notwithstanding have been
scarcely affected—lts. 1,01.1 at Its. 1,065 for ludore and
Mundliesir, respectively.
TONNMJE.—The improvements in freight noticed in oar
last to Great Britain have been fully maintained, and are if
anything a shade better, being to Liverpool 2/. Lis. at
21.175. Gd per ton, and Loudon 21. 10s. at 21. 12s. fid. To
China, on the other hand, they have declined to rupees 15i
at 16 rupees, and are looking down.
EXCHANO E.—On London has again given way to
at 6 months sight with few transactions for this mail. Oa
Calcutta the rate has also given way to Rupees 98 anaas
14 at Rs, 09 per Rupees 100, and on China, we quote
Rupees 216 at 217 per 100 dol. at 60 days' sight.
P.s.—Since writing our remarks on Yarn' we hear of
large sales in Grey at a further reduction on both di-erip-
tions, except in 20 and 40 Water—the former at iiiirr.ved
rates—the latter with 20s. and 301. Mule at OUT quotations.

CALCUTTA, MAI:, u G.
The improved tone of our Export Market, repurted in our
last issue, has been confirmed by a further reduction ix
Homo exchange, and general operation were carried on
with increased freedom till lately when they met with
some check from enhanced requirements for moat leading
staples and a rise in freight, while most parties preferred
to wait for the arrival of the home news, expected these last
few days, but of which no tidings are yet to band on oar
going to press.
Our Import .Market remains much as it was. The de-
mand for the principal Cotton fabrics has been considerable,
but, with a few exceptions, withuut any improvement in
value to meet the falling off in the rate of exeliaugc. Ad-
vice' from the up-country marts, are satisfactory and
credit in the Baur, though still at a low ebb, shows
some indications of improvement. Grey Shirting.,
Jaconets, and Mull-Mulls have been placed to a large
extent, and the sales of White Shirtings, Matta.
pollams, and Lapels have also been to a fair extent.
In other Cotton Fabrics, the business dune has been
comparatively limited. Mule Twist remains in a good
position, and several counts have commanded improved
prices, but owing to the native holidays, which com-
mence to-morrow, the enquiry boa slackened within the
last few days, and plies* have become a shade easier, al-
though holders remain firm. The reported sales amount
to about 830 bales, but the deliveries would have been
much greater had holders been less firm. Turkey red
yarns are in better demand ; the holders of British dye are
unwilling to sell at the current low rates, and German dye
has advanced in price 1 anna per lb. Metals arc improving,
especially copper and iron. Speller has realised Ct. Its. 6-2.
Lead remain dull. . . .

THE MONEY MARKET continues to be better supplied, and
greater facilities are afforded by capitalists. The Bank of
Bengal has reduced its rate 1 per cent., and it is eapocted
that a further reduction to a similar extent 'sill shortly be
made. Large sums are expected by the next steamer Won
England for investment in bills of exchange. Govern-
ment Securities rose rapidly in value, and Company's
Fours touched 93, but these hare since gone back to 91.

Homo Exchanges fell to 1-11 for first class credits, (a few
bills were taken at a lower figure) but there it paused,
remitters being unwilling to operate before the arrival of
the mail, which has been so inexplicably delayed. Kates
afterwards became less stiff, and on going to press yesterday
were quoted for first class paper at I-1.1 to 1-11 i credits and
1-111 documents, but intending buyers were on the reserve,
and the desire to operate preponderated on the aide of the
sellers.
The less unsatisfactory position of our Money Market
has been further Li.proved, by the reduction of the 1445 k
of Bengal rates of interest, of 1 per cent. all round, coupled
with some indications of a gradually improving confidence
amongst the dealers in the Bazar Piece goods trade.
Freights have, under the influence of more generally
active demand for tonnage, experienced an adian..e ut 100
to 12-6 per ton, and are firmly kept thereto.
Istitoo.—Shortly after the departure of last mail,
prices at auctions ruled less evenly than hcfore with-
out admitting on the average of any noticeable alteration,
but within the Last week an eager animation Will again
displayed, leading prices to an improvement of eo.'s
Its. 2-8 to 5-0 per fy. mil., which turn may be ascribed to
the lower tendency of Exchange. and a general anti-
cipation of more favourable udvives from home respecting
the Dye.

a slight decline in price has occurred. Sales reported am

at Ts 6 8 to Ts 8 2 ; and 200 bales MUMS at Ts, 6 9 to

Cotton Yarn—Has slightly declined owing most probably
to the supposition on the part of the Chinese that very larrggoo
supplis are close at hand—No. 16 to 24, 301 doh. to 31 .
