quiry for inferior jamatt, as also a slight one for inkrior Nadi-
pollams, but the prices offered are still low, and tranasetione
therefore have been limited; the better qualities are compara-
tively neglected. Shirting also is dull of sale, and very little has
been done in it. In dyed goods and petits mile. have been very con-
fined, the former in Turkey red only being realisab!e at a low figure,
while the best quality of Swiss or tnts of approved styles in the same
dye is alone saleable at anything like fair prima of ordinary kinds
some trifling sales hare been made at even lower rates than prevailed

booms Goana.--Sales to a moderate extent arc reported in several
kinds of fancy goods, and some few in bleached mulls, at about pre-
vious prime. There appear, to be a good demand for pine orange

Crrea, Yaa.v.—Grey has been in very steady request, but sale*
' have been very limited, owing to the principal importers refusing to
pert with their stocks at the prices offered, which are a shade higher
for the lower counts than at the date of our last diepotch. The fol-
lowing are the sales reported to us : 12.000165. mule, No. 20, at 61a.;

Untie Valor in the same position as before. Turkey red con-
tinuing quite neglected and unsaleable, while Orange could readily
be dinpried of at the old figure.
Cerro, THAKAD. —We eave heard of a sale of 2,600 Bra. No. 10 up
to 100, at Ir. per lb.
Wootaass.—The inquiryis still languid. The prices obtained for
the low and medium qualities arc a slight improvement upon what
ruled Hat season for similar cloth, but those for the higher are under
last season's rates. 1,153 yards rave list cloth, at Ir. %a fip. per yard ; •

extreme quotation would be given fora good current assortment, but
holders will not sell at it. Hoop is also much wanted, noise being in
first hands, god our quotation could DOW be obtained. A sale of
609 cw 4 sea-water dammed has been effected at Or. per cwt.
Sheet and nail rod ore unchanged. In the latter a sale of
150 candies of equare bee been made, at 45r. per candy.—
Copper is at last reviving, a good demand prevailing for it, and
prices arc in the ascendant. The only sake we have heard of are
250 cwt. braziers', at 611 r. • 1,400 cwt. of ditto, the price of which
has not transpired ; and Mil cwt. tooth American, at 47r. per cwt.--

Karmen, —Corrox Woor--The market has been firm, and prices
have slightly improved, arrivals of fresh supplies having been very
light, whilst, In addition to a fair demand for the home market, pur-
chaser in limited qumtitv have limn renewed for China, and Broach
anti Surat have coinnianded 103 to 104 nt., and Gogo.loo re. to 103 re.
per candy. The receipts so far hare been chiefly of Gage and DM-
iera description., a small quantity of Broach, with a trifling par-
cel or two of Mangalore, having only in addition been received. As
yet no Compta is at hand, but contracts for arrival continue to be made
at s 6 rupees for Comm and Itajapore mixed; and tie rupee. m,
candy for Compttr alone, which is the quotation of the day. The lied
accounts from China being of a more favourable tenor for the staple,
incr./oil operations Gr that quarter will no doubt mutt, and we
may, therefore, reawnably look for present prime being maintained.
The following transactions have mere to our knowledge :-550 bodes
of Surat, at 103 rms., ler candy; 1,500 bales of Broach and Surat,
at 103 ; 1,200 bales of I:roach, at 103; 100 bales of Surat, at 104 ;

and the market is therefore quiet: prices se before quoted.
tieww—in the abecnce of the new drug, shipments of old continue
to be made, chiefly on importers' account.
FACII.III.6.—The rate to Great Britaiii is as last quoted, Cl. lea pet

down to N. for the kwmer, and 51. 17s. Gd. for the latter port, at which
engagements were made ; it /snow firm at the first.named quotation.
For China it has been gradually Improving, and, since the last ac-
-1 counts came to band OA the 211th Imt., has gone up from lion. to
16irs. per candy, the latter having been pad yesterday for a full

XICIIANGT.. —ln the last two days the rate on London hes fallen
from la Ild. to Is. 114 d., to Is. laid. to Is. ltd.—the extremes In
both lestarece being the rate for China and local paper respectively,
at sit months' sight. The decline wart not generally looked for, and
may again be attributed chiefly to the large purchases of bills made
by one of our local banks. Bank and local endorsed China bills are
not to-day to be had at a better rate than to, 101 d. per rupee.
CALCUTTA, SEPT. 18.—The Bombay government 's-
pews of the overland mail arrived ou the 14th instant, but the regular
mail has not yet come to hand ; by thin opportunity London news to
the [h. of August bus been received, and the mercantile
intelligence so brought is again of a gloomy nature ; most articles
of colonial produce had fallen in prim, and there were evident
symptom. of another severe prereure in the money market ; never-
theless, the appearance of the growing crope still continued moat pro-
mising, mid there is happily now little doubt of a large barviet ;
but, until the same La actually at market, but little hopes ran

cient time hot not elapsed for this intelligence to pro.

sati-fallory position of mercantile affairs here, noticed at the
time of the departure of the mail per lientinck, has continued without
itterruption, a Moir demand having turn experienced for nearly
every article of export from thin country, and the transactions in im-
ports, although not so general as is usually experienced at thin seaeon
of the year, have been to a fair extent. Manchester good. of nearly
all descriptions meet ready sales at, In some instances, improved rates.

accepted for six month.' paper. The encl.:lave demand for
tonnage haring continued, rates of freight have been trapported, and
for London a plight advance obtained ; since the arrival, however, of
the expree, the tendency has been downwards, but no actual trine-
actions bare taken pineal
Isetto.—The very unfavourable report. previously noticed from
Mireopore and Denotes hare been been fully confirmtedd.. and it fa now
evident that; there will be a considerable falling off from those
districts. likaugulpore has closed with considerably leas than RDA ex-
pected, the total outturn of which will not exceed much that of last
year; manufacturing in Tirhoot is now drawing to a clone, and
there is little chance of is sending down more than 18,000 mounds,
should it even reach this figure : from the different factories
in hishiughur, which are Ptiil at work, oomplaints are
daily coming in of the great falling off in the produce of
the plant, so that the district, which woo expected to have
made a good season will not under the moat favourable circumstances
exceed an average. There is now very little probability of the pre-
vious estimate of 115,000 maunds:being repelled, and prevent appear-
ances warrant a reduction to 110,000 mounds to 11,2,900 maunds, and
even this calculation may still prove trio high.
Scosta.—A els:lady incensing demand hen been experienced for all
description of Benares sugar. at The decline in the English markete
does not appear to have had any material effect here, previous prices
being well aupported. Export. to Great Britain from Ist hat. up to
17th are, 83,911 mounds.
risereerek—Tbe improved demand perceptible for this staple has
increased, and a fair amount of beelinewt is doing in all descriptions
suitable to the English markets ; the same remark is applicsole to
China, ben the demand for Prance and North America has fallen off ;

prices have teen paid.
w tune.—The operations in thin staple have been limited, owing
to the small quantity at market; but any parcels that have come to
head find reedy sale at 4 minas advance on previous prices. The rainy
band is now in mom of arrival, but few transactions have yet taken
place. Exports from Ist to 11th are, to Great Britain, 332 =mart.
SILK Pura Goons.—An improved demand has been experienced
for the medium *ode of Cossimbacar Corder, at rather higher rates;
the finer descriptions are also in demand, but the quantity available
being email, the holders are not dispored to meet the views of pur-
chasers, and are holding out for higher prices. Monks and ban-
dannas remain without inquiry.

extremely dull, confined tea few parcels of lac dye of native manu-
facture ; an shell lac there has been nothing doing.

hausted, holders hare been enabled to °train a further advance, me-
• dium qualities having been sold at 11-8 to 12 per bale. The new crop

so sake are reported.

an evident disinclination manifested to deal in these goods, and for a
few days operations were eta nand; latterly, however, holders hav-
ing submitted to a alight decline, there has been more doing far the
English market.
Msvais.—A moderate amount of business has been done in nearly
all deeeri sof goods under Mi. head ; still the brisk demand ex-
at this season is former years has not been felt; prices,
wever, are well sustained by holders, who have in most instances
been enabled to obtain an advance, owing to the lightness of decks.
SALT.--Screral vessels laden with salt have recently arrived, and
their cargoes have foand ready male at the following rates:-5,500
mounds„ at 96 rupees per 190; 4,500 =ends, at 97 rupees per 100;
