future prospects is based upon the promising turn lately

In our import market, the deliveries for cotton pieoe
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, sly
though prices are generally maintained, the returns will
be less than they were a month ago. The deliveries of
gray shirting' have les,ened, and a decline of 1 to SI
annas may be quoted in the lower reed goods; 56's are
in better request, and 45. in. goods have advanced about
1 anus per piece. White ahirtings are only in partial
inquiry. White figured shirting' are in tale request.
White cambrics are only in moderate demand, at un-
changed value. Twills remain neglected. A fair quantity
of the gray kind of madapolatns 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 muslins has changed
hands, 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 mails 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 beer placed at full previous
value, and in some numbers a trifling rise is observable.

Metals have improved.
