COTTON.—lacaaroot., Oct. 19.—Cotton, with some
finatuacions during the week, is of the same value today

neeted with the movements of the Buk of England have
greatly agitated many holders sad speculators la the article,
as wells. limited and checked the intended puniness of the
home consumers sad others, and a great deal has been said
and written on the subject ; still, the lightness of the stock,
and oontinued lugs consumption have been found sailicisnt
to uphold the confidence of holders in the present currency,
notwithstanding the advanced rate of discount new charged.
Besides, from the comparatively small amount of cotton
paper now in circulation, it is considered that the
recent Unsure made by the Bank will hardly
raise the rata of money generally ; and that those
who can look about them will net find themselves
charged a higher rate than before. In this way, bong I
relieved from the apprehension that has been hanging upon
er until yesterday, we may, in the course of a few days, get
into more regular business; but it cannot be overlooked
that the sanguine expectations of an immediate large ad.

this movement considerably dineursged. We guts mid-

HOSIERY AND LACE.—Norriwonsm, OCT. 17.—
Lies: This department of our staple trade is unusually
dull, the time of year considered. The manufact u
however, are in the hope that a speedy reaction will take
place on the snivel of the American buyers. The hosiery
trade may be reported as last week.

WOOL.—LivaaPooi., Our. 19.—Notwithstanding the
immeshed tightness in the market them is still a fair de-
mand, and ell current descriptions are saleable as previous
rates. In home wools the markets are quieter, but there is no

TALLOW.

The tallow market was firm the first three days of this
week, and prices advanced to 60. 3d. for January aad
March delivery. The advance in the rate of discount yester-
day at the Bank has weakened the market, speculative sellers
having come forward for a decline. There is a difference of
opinion as to the ultimate effect of the high price of money
upon our atticles. The immediate feeling is one of alarm,
and this has induced the speculative operations we have
noticed, but it is very doubtful if the event will follow the
anticipation of these parties. Experience is all the other
way, for whilst it is true that the severe commercial disasters
of the autumn of 1847 were produced by the high rate of
money, it is equally true that a rapid advice. touk place in
tallow in the face of discount at 8 per cent. The fact is, a
high price of money is g Ily contemporaneous with de-
ficient supplies and a high price of grain, and it appears
likely that this winter there will be no exception to this
rule. With a high price of grain comes a high value to all
articles of food and provender, and the consequence is that
cattle are not sent to market in good condition, and home
tallow becomes scarce. The consumers are thee obliged to
take larger quantities of forelga tallow, and the price is
raised. This was the experience of 1847 and the spring of
1848, and we see no reason to anticipate a more favourable
result this year, especially with a more moderate stock on
hand, and short respective supplies for the next twelve
months. The market opened this morning quiet, aced in the
course of the day lower prices have been accepted. We

CALCUTTA MARKETS.
Szrr. 8.

Sims the hale of our last report our export trade has
continued in a healthy state. The .deices received by the
last two mails of the position of the English markets for
Indian produce proving favourable, the demand for morel
articles has been brisk—rice, wheat, and seeds being the
favourites, and prices bays advanced ; the more so as sup-
plim are not plentiful. There has been, however, no want
of tonnage, which has prevented an advance in the rates of
freight., and abipmen:s to Europe are going forward on a
very fair scale.
Oar import trade continues to suffer severely for want of
adequate conveyance of goods by steamers to the upper
provinces. We learn, moreover, that advice* have been re.
*rived from Mireapore and Mom Flame in the upper pro-
visos:4 eamplainias much of the want of rain, and appre-
hensions are eatertained of damage to the crops.
Darin the present week, we regret to observe a further
illowaward tendency ha been manifested in the prices of all
aseb of British piece goods, ad male twist especially seems
he share the illseliais more than the others.
Oar money market is showing symptoms of improvement,
but the effect of the increase in the rates of discount and
interest established by the directors of the Bank of Bengal
is being felt principally by holders of government securities.
There is no doubt that the gradual increase of the Bank of
Bengal rates daring the past month is attributable to the
large demand for lams, which the atate of its emcee is
unable to meet. This demand on the part of the mercantile
pablie cannot bat be considered the result of the opening of
the ill timed and illmaaaged Five per Cent. Public
Works Loan," which has drained the market of a consider•
able portion of funds which otherwise would and ought to
ham-brat used for the legitimate purposes of trade.
Throughout last week &sea Four per Cents. bad been
selling at a diaconal of 16 Bto 16.8 per cent. Company's
Fours at 13-12 to 14 0, and the New Fives at 14 imam to
1-2 per sent., which are the current rates; but a alight
improvement in the value has taken plea einem, the rates
being about 1 per cent. better. Although the bank rats
matiamunaltered, the tightness has relaxed a little in the
Basset, and money can be obtained on good emeriti*, at 10
per sen
t. per sanam
an , which is 2 pee cent. lower than those
charged by the Bk o Bengal.
In the sham market very little has been doing. Bank of
Bengal shame only being in demand at Es. 6,400.
Eschews remains unaltered.
Famoare.—Bin has been engaged for London at 41. fts.,
and wheat 41. 10s. Seeds are wanted at 61. 6.., bat offers
have not hers made above 51. 24‘. 64.; in other articles little
doing.
Teenage at meat is adequate to the demand, and sa-
les. produce be *saki and prices moderate is future, the
large toonsireettertly expected must came a reduction on
our meant raise, unless ships prefer going after the middle
of November near, the Meg and constant ho:idsys from
the middle of October to the middle of November will la-
dam ships arriving between this and the 20th instant to
