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 impalas,

tendency.
In our import market, the deliveries for cotton piece
goods generally have fallen off. In one ur two intimacies
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 I.s:ened, 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
1 anna per piece. White shirtings are only in partial
inquiry. White figured shirtings are in lair request.
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, bat
latterly the inquiry fur these goods has fallen off, and
previous prices have scarcely been supported. Only a
comparatively moderate business has been done in grey
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 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.
No improvement can be reported in coloured yarns.
Metals have improved.
