BOMBAY. MAT 21. Imrour 21AnunT.—The .ray few
days which have (1.1,4..4 since the date of our last the 12th inst.), ,
and the circunistanre that our businrs seasan is now all but at an
end, in consequen. e of the near approach of the tiouth•weot
monsoon, leave very little to be naticel by this opportunity. Thera

Comm Illaxesseri acs.—Trlannetnen to any considerable extent
are now an end for the wean, pat knanflr in grey soak, the
helices of which could not ref lac at t rennt, except at a decline on
late prime, purchases being confined to the local bazaar,
and mostly on opeculation. White goods have been rather
scarce and wanted throughout the present year, and unless stocks
become greatly enlarged in the meantime, prices may be expected to
open well next remote. Turkey-red plain cloths arc not large in
stock. Turkey -red twins and peeenets are In c :naideralde stick, and
dull of sale. These remark. ale apply to prints and chintzes. Scotch
gads, generally, are only in moderate request, and at very low rates.
Woouass are not in active request, though some sales are ay n.

CALCUTTA, MAT B.—During the very short period
which has alapecd since the date of our last issue, we hive been
placed in pmeession of London dates to the 2ith cf March. The Dom-
tray express came in late In the afternoon of the 3rd instant, and the
steamier reached town on the 6th.
The commercial intelligence received by the above opportunity
'Guthman to be of a favourable character ; and, although a le,s active
burinees was doing In the produce market, yet prices continued to
rule at satisfactory figures. The market was favourable for almost
every single staple of this country, and this cannot but tend to keep
up the healthy feeling which has for some time been experienced here.
•ar report embraces the operation of such a short period
that we an hardly be expected to be able to report any altered
features in the position of our markets. In the export
breach a sound, healthy feling *Whams to prevail, and ope-
rations night have been on • more extended scale only for the i
limited state of stocks at present In the market. In indigo a very
small bushier has been doing, and only a few saki are reper:ed by
private contract. &mare remain in animated demand, hut sup-
plies of the mew crop of Betimes coming In so scantily, has been
the came of a limited business. An extensive business has been
done in the lower guethire. In rice we have no change, and • very
moderate business is doing tor Grist SAWA. Bdipstre etatinates to

occupy abatis's, and an extensive scale of hap been on foot
ler sane time pad both for Great Britain an the American market.
NSW silk has been less settee, slid prises show a shade of
draw. In Omaha a fair business has been dose, and

Woo ezhausted, which Lao limited operations. The demand
die sball be sad Ise dye is also god, and a fair busing so is doing
is Mail etse ha valve. Safflower has tem dull and inactive. A
gaud Imptry is making for ginger, at full prices. Jute has not been
ea aptre and stocks /re low. In Linseed olf,y a moderate busl-
oad, Is Mitered for the American market, while, for Great Britain,
waft Is doing since the rile of homeward freightage. In minor
products, a fair amount of sales bee been effected, whale the male of
pr.ces show. no alteration 'array from our last quotations.
The Im,ort division of oar business bus experienced no change
sines cite of last report. If anything, a more moderate business
has been di ins than vs bad anticipated for the week. Stocks of
Manchester goods have ineressed by fresh arrival,, which have
caused prices generally to exhibit • little kw steadiness. In Mule
Towle a moderate birobms. Is draft. Metall, have Improved, both In
respect to demand slid value. tpcm the ',thole, the market may be
pronounced to be in a setligictory position, although th, operations
of the past seek hardly reach average, except in metals. We con-
%hum to h.ve prosiects of implovement.
Tas boxer Msruirr.-9.e have not the least alteration to report
In tie position and i.roepocts of monetary affairs, which continued to
be characterised by the same features they have worn for a weenier-
abls period now. Capital is abundant, and rate of discount continue
' low. The bank rates of di• count remain unchanged, while the low
figures shown by its last returns indicate but too plainly the moderate
scale of its operations.
EXCHAnam.—A fair email inquiry bar exiotel for mercantile
Mlle, tad rates have been effected to a limited extent. We quote
nierean:lle bills at 4 months' eight, with documents at Is. 101,1. to
