CALCUTTA MARKETS.
THURSDAY, APRIL 7.
The steamer llin..ostsn arrived on the Ist instant with
London dates to the 24th Feb: last. . . .

Sugar here has been in brisk demand, but large supplies
kept prices low until lately, when they became firmer; our
quotations show a fall in all kinds except Benares of 8 to 10
anises from the highest point at the end of January last.
The Indigo market has been inanimate, and prices have
gone lower than at any previous period since the
commencement of the season : 20,634 chests have
been shipped up to the sth instant, of which 9,826
have gone to Great Britain and 7,718 to France.
The planters complain loudly of the want of rain,
owing to which, the plant already in the ground is suffer-
ing, and further progress in sowing is stopped. No
change has occurred in the value of saltpetre which how-
ever attracts a little more attention than it has lately done
from British shippers. Exports of rice to Great Britain
have fallen off very considerably. A decline of 4to 6 annas
per seer in the value of raw silk, had the effect of clearing
the market: the March bund has failed owing to the
drought, and further supplies cannot be expected till the
April growth is ready. Shell lac is still inquired for, at
unaltered prices: 294 chests I, have realised 11.2 per
md. Lac dye has cot recovered the decline quoted in
our last report : D T has been placed at 70. The
demand for hides has been onprecedently active, and the
shipments of these to Great Britain are considerably above
the average. Linseed has also been in active request for
both Great Britain and America. Owing to the inferior
quality of the supplies of jute, prices gave way to the ex-
tent of two to three annas per md. hut lately, the article
has again regained an upward tendency, and our quotations
range as high as they did a month ago.
Our market for cotton piece goods remains nearly in the
same state in which the last mail left it. Grey and white
skirtings, grey madapollams, and grey and white jaconets
have been respectively placed to a fair extent, with
a little improvement in the value of grey goods.
Most other fabrics are dull, with prices rather tend-
ing downwards than otherwise, but they are sustained by
the rather light supplies we have had of late, which have
caused a reduction in some of the stocks. The better feeling
noted in our last, as apparent amongst the tip-country men,
has resulted in their operating to a moderate extent, but
their enquiries are not animated. The twist market is
dull: dealers buy sparingly and only for immediate wants:
Noe. 20 and 30'attract most notice: the middling and ordi-
nary qualities of 40s. have receded a trifle : 501. are
a eds lower: stocks generally have become heavier.
A fair amount of business has been done in Turkey
red dye., both German and British. Orange and
green yarns are in limited request. The metal market is
quiet. A speculative demand prevailed during the past
month for copper, which became dearer, but lately
the demand has abated. Very little business in iron is in
progress. The holders of apclter are firm, but not much
doing. Both pig and sheet lead are in fair inquiry. Tin
' plates are in request.
The money markit continues to be well supplied, but a
better demand for the circalating medium is apparent.
Capitalists can readily find employment for their funds,
and the rates of interest are improving. The share market
is firm. We quote Bank of Bengal, at 6.000 ; Agra Banks
at 625 ; India General Steam at 600; Bengal Coal Com-
pany at 725 ; New Oriental Life Insurance at 310 to 350.
Government Securities are a shade lower. We quote the
New Five per Cents. at 109-8 to 110 ; Sicca ditto, 102
to 104. Company's and Sicca Rupees Fours at 99-10 to
99-14.

Exchange with London underwent very little variation
since the date of our last report, until within the last few
days, when a more plentiful supply of bills sent them up
Id. higher; we now quota 2-0 credits and 2-1 documents.
The rates of freight to London in dead weight remain
nearly unaltered. We quote 31. 17s. 6d. saltpetre, and
31. 171. 6d. to 41. sugar, and 41. rice, to London.

'DIE QUANTITY OF RAIN WHICH FELL IN IRE-
LAND during the past year has exceeded that of 1851 by more
than 13, and the preceding year by 14, inches. Within
these two years the fall of rain exceeded an inch only once
in 24 hours, whilst our weather table shows four days in
which that quantity has been exceeded in a day, and in two
instances by considerably more than one-half during the
past year. From the average minimum temperature of the
three past Tears. it appears 1850 and '5l differ only one
degree, whilst the temperature of 182.1 was lower than both
by 11 and 12 degrees respectively, thus showing as wide a
contrast in the temperature as in the moisture of the latter
and former years.—Dublin Mercantile Advertiser.
