LNDIA AND CHINA MARKETS.

BOMBAY, APRIL 28.
The brisk inquiry for piece goods, exhibited on the de-
parture of the last mail, has ceased entirely in consequence of
the anzlety shown by importers to realize their stocks
before the closing of the season, and take advantage of the
favourable rate of exchange; lower rates have therefore
been accepted on nearly all kinds of goods.
GREY SIIIRTINEE, of 40 inch, and of 5} to Gib. have
declined lf to 2 amiss per piece, 71bs. nearly 4 tunas, and
those of above 71bs. G to 8 annas on the last mail's quo
tation ; however the sales are nearly 12,500 pieces at rs 4
for a cloth of 1311bs. at rs. 511 anoU for one of 9} lbs. A
similar depression is perceptible on shirtings of 45 inches.
GREY DIADAPoLLAMS, so eagerly inq.iired for before the
last nxtil I-ft, have given way about If anuas per piece, on
the late advance, and are not now asked for.

GUST DOMESTICS AND T CLOTHS chow a decline on
former pikes.
ORIST JACCONETS, excepting those of light make, are
difficult of sale at losing price.
BLEACHED Goons, of all descriptions, remain as per last
reported, without any improvemrnt.
In TCHICEY RED GOODS, no Niles.
MULE TWIST has revived a shade in value on last quo-
tations, while water has declined proportionately.
METALS, notwithstanding so limited a stock here, with
such high price in England, show no improvement.
Bern is expected to be dear in Bombay this year, in con-
sequence of the difficulty in securing tonnage in England to
Intent out here.

Ix Correa* little harbeen done since the arrival of the
last steamer from China, bringing such discouraging ac-
counts of the price of that article there ; for althongh stocks
are fast accumulating, and few shipments going on either to
England or China, holders are firm, and the price has not
declir.ed more than 2 or 3 Rs. per candy ; they ask Rs. 99
for Broach and Jumbooser Cotton, Rs. 97 fur Surat, Ds. 94
to 95 for Dhollerah, and Its. 90 per candy for Oomrawutty
cotton. The maintenance of these prices having deterred
shippers from sending on the staple, freights suddenly
fell to 41. per ton, at which all the shipping in the harbour
was taken up.
}lutetium have again advanced and tonnage cannot be
had to Liverpool or London for less than 41..55. per ton.
In consequence of the recent unfavourable intelligence from
China, freight is not much sought for, and may now be
quoted at rs. 16 to 17 per candy.
EXCHANGE t,ll England has for some time back been
steadily advancing, and most transactions for this mail have
been done at 2s. lad. per rs. at 0 months' sight for Baring
Brother.' credits—with the usual difference for local drafts,
and those secured by shipping documents.
