MARKETS.

OOTTON.—Lrrrnroot, SEPT. 12.—There has been a
large tit:mend today for cotton, and pricey for the lower
qualLies are ix.r lb. higher • for middling and better daisies
fall; since Friday last. The sales are 20,000 bales, and
coosiat of the following descriptions : —16,100 American, at
to 9d. ; 200 Pernam, at lid. to 9d.• 700 Egyptian, at
Sid. to I Ifd. ; and :1,000 Surat, at 3a. to sd. ; of which
6,000 are for speculation and export.
CORN.—Rosrox, Sen. 12. —Weather tine in this district.
Harvest operations are going on freely. We have had a fair
show of wheat at market to-day, which met a slow sale at
7s. to 3s. decline on the week. In spring corn little or
nothing doing. The few samples of new wheat and rata
which earns to hand to-day were of an inferior quality and
out of condition.
Elroccrom•os.Taas, San. 12.—With the exception of
Saturday the weather has been favourable for harvest opera-
tions which are now going on. The imports for the past
week are fair. The farmers supply of wheat this morning
was larger than for many weeks past, for which there
was a slow sale at a decline of 2s. to 3a. per qr. on last
week's prices. In barley, oats, and beans there is no
quotable variation. The price of flour has been reduced
to 465. per sack net Imports during the past week :
Wheat, coastwise, 440 qrs.; foreign, 1,240. Oats, coast-
wise, 620.
CLAN:it:ow, Sere 12.—The weather continues fine. Sup-
plies moderate. A better feeling pervaded the trade to-
day, and prices were steadier, though &I. per 24011 a. lower
than on this day week for wheat, and Is. per barrel and
rack for flour. (him 341. to 6d., and oatmeal &L to Is.
cheaper. Beane, peas, barley, and Indian corn, unchanged
in value. The business transacted was quite of a retail
character.

CATTLE—WILTON GREAT Sucre, HORSE, AND CATTLE
Pam—This fair, which is one of the largest in the West
of England, wan held to-day, and the supply of sheep num-
bered more than for many years past, and the quality and
condition of the stock on sale was far superior to that at
the late Britton!. There was also a very full attendance of
buyers. At the early part of the morning the quotations
of late fain were asked, but purchasers being unwilling to
secede to those terms, bulginess was extremely dull for a
time, when ultimately prices gave way, and a somewhat
restricted trade was done at a reduction of tie.
to Bs. per head below the prices obtained at
Britford, and a very large number remained unsold,
farmers refusing the reduced prices offered. Prime ranged
for ewes, from 325. to 445. ; wetbers, 38e. to 48s. ; lambs,
84e. to 38e. There were some few choice lots selling at
lower rates. There was a moderately good trade doing
both in selling and letting of rams. There was an average
supply of lean stock of cattle, but prkes generally were
considerably lower and not much business was done. In
the horse fair there was a good sprinkling, but prime hones
were scarce and but abraded number of sales were effected.
Agricultural implements of all descriptions were liberally
supplied and we hear a fair trade was done.
SOUTHALL. Barr. 11—We had a brisk demand at
market to-day for beet, lamb, and pork ; mutton and veal
trade ruled dull, barely at but week's rates. Beef made
from 3s. to ss. ; mutton, 4s. to be. 44. ; lamb, he. I id. to

LNDIA COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
CALCUTTA, Auouret 8.

IMPORT MARILICT. --A gemenic Lauer ho prevailed in
our market during the whole of the last fortnight, and
truoisactions, both in piece Mods and yams, have been
moderate, at cottinially lower rates. Buyers sire very
cautious in their purchase., not only became the demand
limited but also on account of the great disposition of im-
porters to realise. The future prospects of the market do
not promise auy immediate improvement in prime. Metals
are very dull, at lower and almost nominal rates.
Ex rowre.—lndigo.- • In lower Bengal generally rains have
been heavy, which has reduced produce, but has not done
much damage to the growing plant. Fortunately the rivers
have continued much lower than usual, owing to the scanti-
ness of the rains to the north-west. In the districts where
the ryots hey° been encouraged to resist, this has acted
favourably, giving time to government to retrace their stern.
The mischief done, however, is immense, the ryots having
gone en far as to cut and throw their plant into the river.
All other labourers are following the example set them,
carter* and coolies repudiating their eugagemente at the
time whcu they are absolutely necessary to the planter.
There is on remedy at law, courts are distant, proceedings
dilatory, and the indigo plant ripe and rotting on the
ground.
Jute.—ln this article there has been a large business
dote during the past fortnight, and in spite of the had
accounts received from the home market, for the better
sorts, which are very scarce, prices are fully maintained,
and in one or two amen an advance .4 2to 3 annex per
md. has been paid ; middling and inferior qualities are sold
freely at previous quotations. Notwithstanding unfavour-
able accounts from England prices are fully maintained
here, owing to paucity of stocks end very small arrivals.
Raw Silk.—The market is quieter, owing to discouraging
accounts received from Leaden ; at the lame time, the
quality of the silk in the market now is not very desirable.
Prices are not lower.
Salk Piece Goods.—Corahs : Market continues very quiet,
and 'Daubing doing in this article. No sale+ to report, and
so alteration in the prices. The stocks are materially
redneed, and of inferior quality.
Itios.—No heavy transactions have taken place since our
last advice*, few inquiries are made, and holders are dis-
posed to effect Pales at • lower rate, pending is reduction in
the rates of freight.
Oil Seeds.--Linseed : Supplies now come in more freely,
and pines of uncleaned are somewhat easier. We do not,
however, quote any decline in the bazaar, as there is a
pretty lively business earned on for England ; but with the
unfavourable accounts from home, the upward tendency of
freight., and further large supplies expected, we may ma-
sonailly expect lower prices to rule before long. Rape seed
supplies begin to come in more freely, and as there is little
denucel, present prices, 2-14 to 3-0, being considered tee
high, stocks will accumulate, and holders must lower their
demand'.

CHINA COMMERCIAL.
Hugo KONG, JULY NI
Business in this oniony continues much depressed. Large
and aecuniulating stocks, with a fixed determination on the
part of buyers not to operate except (non hand to mouth,
cause drooping prices and a heavy market. The auction
sales have been continued, though the evil has to a certain
extent been inituoited.
Exchange.— The transactions for this mailers to a limits:al
extent only, in couospience of the small tiansactions in
hoporta and the reluctance of buyers to enter 111th opera-
tions for this opportunity, as it is confidently expected the
connunmisu 6it will be sellers for the mail following. Bank
bills, at six months' eight, close at is. ; first-class
credits., 4e. 10,1 ; tlileutta nominally, =5 rs. ; Bombay,
7dl rt. to us s .
Tonnage.—The &layout for tonnage has been limited.
Holders are, however, firm.
C ANTON. —The assertion, that the insurgents had removed
their location and thereby opened a means of communius-
Lion with the interior, is confirmed, and may be accepted
ma a fact. The amount of business transacted at Canton
during the isist fortnight, although not large, is apparently
healthy, and may he accepted as the harbinger of a better
state of things. The demand for cotton has improved
nail,
about 10,00 U bales have been *old at prima currant last
with the exception of the common kinds, which are
somewhat lower. About 500 Dike of yarn cow
prised the transactions in this staple. Some par-
wls have, however, been given in hatter. The
demand fur cotton piece goods appears reviving. The
tea market ha. fairly opened, said a large business has been
done. The arrivals of Conon amount to Ito chops, of
which 56 chops have been taken at prices ranging from
Tla. 27 to 36, leaving '24 chops in stock.
Business st Shanghai, showed very little life, though, as
is always the istae during a blockade, means were being
found of conveying goods into the interior without trench-
ing on the disturbed district+.
With regent to exports of silk, the security enjoyed by
foreigners in the interior forms a new era in the history of
( labia. Despairing of conveying funds to the silk districts
tlo oust' the ordinary and hitherto secure channels, a move-
ment had been made by the European buyers of going to
market themselves, scrip in hand. They had so far suc-
ceeded as to secure about tyro) hales, at • considerable
advance, however, on pries current last mad. The
quality of the new silk was described as coarse and inferior,
but, not% ithotanding. the disturlayl state of the country.
the crops were large in extent above recent non.
