(From the Calcutta Overland Price Current of Feb. 21.)
The Bombay express arrived during the night of the
lath inst., and the bulk of the mail followed the next
day, bringing London dates to the 8111 January, with
intelligence confirming the improved feeling tending to-
wards a more free and satisfactory

- Under such impressions, our export
market has exhibited a growing animation, to which the
further material decline in home exchange, and the still
moderate rates of freight have lent additional impulse,
dire sting prices of most leading articles to an upward
tendency.
In our import market, the deliveries for cotton piece
goods generally have fallen off. In one or two instances
prices have receded a trifle, while in others they have im-
proved; but the fall in the rates of exchange has, upon,
the whole, turned the scale against holders, so that, al-
though prices are generally maintained, the returns will
be less than they were a month ago. The deliveries of
gray shirtings have lessened, and a decline of 1 to 2
annas may be quoted in the lower reed goods; 56's are
in better request, and 45-in. goods have advanced about.

White cambrics are only in moderate demand, at un-
changed value. Twills remain neglected. A fair quantity
of the gray kind of madapolams has been placed, but
latterly the inquiry for these goods has fallen off, and
previous prices have scarcely been supported. Only a
comparatively moderate business has been done in gray
and white jaconets. In lappets, low and medium power-
loom goods have been fairly placed at former value. A
considerable quantity of book muelins has changed
bands, notwithstanding the impending Burmese war, but
the demand has been confined chiefly to the descriptions
most suitable for the Upper Provinces. The inquiry for
mull mulls have been limited. The arrival of Cabal
merchants, who annually visit the Presidency, has given
a little more activity to the demand for Turkey red
goods. Prints and chintzes are neglected. A fair
quantity of mule twist has been placed at full previous
value, and in some numbers a trifling rise is observable.
