CALCUTTA MARKET.
CAtnirrra, Aram. 19.—The Bombay express arrived on
the morning of the 14th inst., bringing home news to the 9th of
March. The comisereial intelligence continues to be very satis-
henry.
In our export market abysm ecallans to show a good diepolitka
to operate, but trammthens are restricted by the smallness of stocks
end thellmited &aloe ss regards the middy of the print* staples
offered for sale. Up to the 17th ban 54,874 chests of Indigo, eon.
inning 127,643 mends, have been exported, of which 23,903 chests
have been shipped to Busload, and 6,158 to Frame. The Inquiry for
sager continues good, bat mach canna be done in it, owing to the
small choice which offers. The demand for saltpetre continues active.
A partial inquiry has admen for rice for the home market. Haw silk
remains dull. Combs ere still in favour, but the qualities in the
market present but little temptation to the shipper. Shellac and lea
dye maintain their position. Jute is freely whipped, and the minor
staples are going forward in larger quantities than heretofore.
ilin the last week our Import market has maned a man en-
couraging aspect than it has presented in our last two or three re-
port.. Tne demand foe Manchester goods has improved, and better
prices are obtai able, especially for Jaeonets and some kinds of gray '
shirting,. Mule twist is firm, with a fair demand. Scotch fabrics are
is better inquiry. Metals, however exhibit no horovement. Speller
the fallen toe 14 to 9. Some bashes has been done in copper, and
we moiled a isle of tile at 334. Iron shows no change.
Money has become somewhat more valuable, and Compan's paper
has Improved. Our quotations are Now Fives, 4to gnats discount;
Mora ditto, 2to 24 ditto. Company's Fours. 14 to 144; Moos ditto,
IS to 13,11„ _

--Bankolßeagal Mares are quoted at 1,450 to 1,500 premium, bed
sething (Mug in them. The profits of the bank during the past three
smooths average 64-81 per cent. per annum an capital stock of 4,000
per sit...
Exchange floats at about 1-101 to 1-101. A considerable mooned of
' bilis have, however, changed hands since the date of our last report at
1-10. The export warehouse has advanced 43,42,183 r. up to the 17th
instant. Goverment have notified that bills of exchange for 900,0001.
will be required at the export warehouse for the oommerdal year
184940 ; threes fourths of the value of tkeqewill be advanced, and
the bills to lie at six months' sight, and ex .1-10. A movement
has bete made in the Chamber cdOmemeree th a view to reduce
the mance of exchange for mercantile bills to six months' date or four
months' sight, whkh, however, did not meet with general support,
and the further consideratke of the matter has been postponed.
Freights advanced since the date of our test report to 41. 17s. 6d.
for sugar; 41.125. ed. to 41. 13s. for saltpetre; rice, 41. 17s. Id. to 31.;
but dates have again retrograded to nearly our previous quotations of
41. 12.. 6d. to 41. 15s. for sugar, and 41. 15e. to 41. 17a. 6d. ter rice.
bromo.—The public sales since oar Mat issue have been confined to
the unimportant quantities enumerated below, sod from their small-
ness not attracting cetera attention, prices ruled unevenly, in some
butanes affording a turn in favour of the buyer. By private contract
the following parcels have been disposed of at very full rates, vIE. :
R. and Co., 160 charts (out of 176) Russell and Co., Jester., at Co.'s
is. 145 per fy. rad.; H It 10 chests Maeeyk, Jungypore, at Co.'s rs.
113 d tto • 20 chests Maveyk. Itulgypore, at Co.'e re. 142 8 ditto. $
The eximerre heat prevailing here these two weeks mat has, by re.
cent advices from all the nearer indigo didriets, extended to teem,
and the detrimeatal effect of it on the young plant, by its dying from
want of nourishment, incipient blight, or devastation by caterpillars,
begins to excite partial serious apprehensions.
limn Piece Goons—The market la bare of desirable qualities of
conks, although getting beret stocked with inferior torts, for which
full pm s are required. The want of choice deters shippers, although
willing to operate, from buying. Reported tales : —l6O pieces Cm-
anthem corals' at 93 per come, 131 at 94, 800 at 103; a sole at the
factory is also reported of 1,000 pieces of light showy corals at 117,
which is considered 3.0 higcer than latest current value.
Ragusa AND LAC Dra.—The demand for these products, especially
far thedye matinees unabated at full prices. Reported ales:-63
chests shellac at 84 per mound, 50 at 9-12, a at 10.0
23 duets or Berabbsora leo dye at 19.4, 27 at 23-0, 13 at 234, 70 at
244, 40 at 344.
Sooss—Tbe iselination fee enlarged transactions has reoeived fall
encOaragelitelat by toe last home adviees, but, although extreme pre.
vious rates, and in some instances 2 anus improvement were freely
given, the small supply of Moues, and limited choice in all other
sorts, have proved a bar to mete important business.
Sstverrar.—An active inquiry has bear resumed, which led to 2 to
3 an= enhanced requirements, to which pressing buyers in some
indances submitted, present available supplies being very moderate.
The reported sales to general shippers, since oar but, are 2,000 bags
of Allygunge, 6 to 0 4, 400 bags of Guapore, 5.8; 2,200 begs of
Chuppra, 3.8 to 5-12; 130 ban of !ampere, 4.12.
Rocs.—The previous neglect has been relieved by some partial in-
quiries for home shipments at unaltered prices, and the reported
transactions since last mail amount to 3,000 hags table sort superior
told, 1-2 ; fair, 1-13 to 4144; 8,000 bags Mooney, 15.9 to 1.
Henn.—Notwithstanding that nearly all the old buyers have sus-
pended their operations in this article, the demand for the British
market is still brisk, and consequently pries high. Those high rates
are mainly owing to me or two new speculators being still in the
market, who pick up each parcel as it arrives from the !foresail at
extreme rates. The continental buyers are still lying on their oars.
The Americana also have done nothing is cow hides, but are still
buyers of buffalo hides and goatskins. There is no stock.

Beans 813 1,015 1,010 1,0244-8 8,34,730
The sale went off with less animation than was anticipated, and the

rates which prevailed before the sale.

hinnies FROD Eulleee.—British Cotton Piece Goods.—Our last re-
port, per Iladdington eteamer, was dated the 7th Masao, lance when
businesa has been slightly interfered with by further native holidays,
and, upon the whole, traiwacione have not been of en extensive I
nature. It is, however, pleasing to be enabled to state that the im-
port market for moat descriptions of Mice goods has improved within
the last week; there is uuw more demand, and better prices are ob-
tainable, especially for jatonete, and come few kinds of shirting.
