CALCUTTA, Gm. 7.
We can hardly be expected to give &report of the com-
mercial doings of the week : the period since our last re-
port has been absorbed in complete inactivity, as regards
commercial matters, and the goddess Dinegels has engrossed
the greatest share of the time, attention, sad, as regard.
the natives, the means of commercial and non-commercial
people of this great city The whole week has been ab
sorbed in holidays—counting-houses have been
closed,
offices shut, and even the little peddling shops have c. 6
their locks to their gates. Calcutta is out of town and the
wheels of business have not been heard to creak. Holiday
making, holiday-taking, and holiday-enjoying have been
the order of the day, although, we must confess, we
remember circumstances being so unfavourable to the full
enjoyment of holiday keling. The mail of August 25 has
come in, and the intelligence it conveys is far from satisfac-
tory. Things have been gradually becoming worse, and now
we learn of the natural consequence in the shape of failures
and rumours of failures. Some are reported, others antici-
pated. The following, from a contemporary, gives a correct
idea of the position and prospects of things when business
was suspended this day week : Business c Geed on Saturday
with a very gloomy aspect ; portentous clouds had for some
time before hung upon the commercial horizon, and the ge-
neral expectation was that they would break in a deluge of
mischief even before the commencement of the Doorgah
l'oorjahs. Several wealthy natives in the Bazar had sus-
pended, and rumour began to be busy with the names of
more than one European house. The latest business hour,
however, closed without anything like a crash, and conjec-
ture is left to busy itself with what the resumption of busi-
ness on the 11th inst. is likely to develop.
Some of our oldest merchants in Calcutta state they have
never seen the markets so unsettled, disturbed, and unsatis-
factory.
Accounts from the indigo districts continue of a favour-
able tenor, sad estimates are gradually rising. From all we
have heard, we calculate the crop at 1,15,000 ends. We can
hardly hold out prospects of good prices to our indigo friends.
That lart year's figures will not be approached is the general

CHINA MARKETS.
HONG-KONG, SIPT. 29.
The business done during the month in imports and ex-
ports has been extensive.
