Candy for Broach and Surat, which will cost, free on
board, with freight and insurance to Liverpool, 48. ogd.
and 4s. 0 7-16 d. per lb. The exports since the 30th ult.
are 20,745 i bales.

Exchange on England has fluctuated. On the arrival
of the last China mail on the 3d inst. a good amount of
credit bills were disposed of at 2s. 1 10-16 d. per rupee;
but the rate has since given way, and may now hi quoted
at 2s. 1 5-16 d. to 2s. lgd. per rupee at six months' sight,
with a downward tendency. Exchange on Calcutta is
at 991 r. for Calcutta. 100 r. at 60 days' sight. On

Freights—Eight days ago scarcely any tonnage was to
be had to Liverpool at 3/. ss. to 3/. 10s. per ton ; since
which time
,many vessels have arrived and little cotton
is offering: Rates have now declined to 2/. 15s. to 21.
17s. 6d. per ton ; to London there is no vessel on the
berth, but a few ships are required to load on the coast.
To China there is little doing, and vessels loading can
with difficulty get 12r. per candy.

.N MARKET REPORT. ---
HONG KONG, AUG. 22.
Our import market continues in a very depressed state,
and, besides the causes previously affecting it, latterly
heavy floods have further interrupted trade.
Cotton is lower. Bombay, sto 6 taels ; Bengal, 4.8
to 5.8 taels ; Madras, 5.4 to 6.4 taels. Sales only
10,000 bales. Stock, 100,000 bales, against 150,000
bales last year.

No. 25.32, $2O to $224 ; No. 38.42, $23 to $25.
Longeloths—The low rates induced a speculative de-
mand, and about 47,000 pieces were taken. The stock,
however, is heavy. Quotations are—greys, $1 20c. to
$2 20c. ; whites, $1 45c. to $2 60c.
Woollens—Spanish stripes, assorted, 70c. to 90c. ;

70e. to $1 80c. ; round, $2 to $3 90c. Tin plates, $5
90c. to $6 100.
Turkey opium, $330.
Cochineal $9O to $125.

Tea—During the month large transactions have taken
place in congous, and at higher prices. Late advices
from Shanghai caused much activity in the market. The
settlements have been about 80 chops at 18 to 30 taeli.
39 chops remain on the market, affording but a poor
assortment, and for which extreme rates are asked. Of
fine teas none remain.

reported successes of the insurgents counteracted any
inclination on the part of dealers to take imports. Un-
usual exertions had been made to procure funds for pur-
chasers of silk, and a fair business had been done, but,
owing to the scarcity of money, and the advance in
price, the settlements of tea limited.

Longcloths—Sales of damaged goods supplied the de-
mand. Cloths weighing lilb. were quoted $1 25c., but
no sales of importance could be made. The imports
since the Ist of January last are estimated at nearly
2,000,000 of pieces, and a stock remained of about
1,500,000 of pieces.

place, ,and settlements of congou were done at 14 to 20

CALCUTTA.
(Front the Englishman.)
MONDAY, Sept. 6.—The steamer Madras arrived on
the 29th ult., with London dates to the 25th of July
last. The commercial intelligence generally must be
looked upon as satisfactory.
We have but little alteration to report as regards the
coming indigo crop ; the prospects of the planters in the
lloab have improved, while, on the other hand, some
Bengal concerns are doing with less than was expected.
The exports to date amount to 26,737 chests, containing
100,417 maunds, of which 14,832 chests have gone to
Great Britain and 8,151 chests to France. Since the
arrival of the mail a greater disposition to ship rice to
Europe has been manifested ; Mauritius continues to
draw largely on the inferior qualities. The last raw silk
bund has been unusually productive ; the article re-
Mains in. favour, and every parcel on arrival readily
finds a purchase at full rates. Combs also command
extreme prices, and can easily be placed. A. very trifling
Wellness fires been dens- in sugar-for Groarßrifidn dasigg '
the past month ; the exports to ,Australis treble- the
quantity to Great Britain in that period. As this rising
colony is assuming so important a position among the
consumers of Indian produce, we shall in future give it a
place in our list of exports. A considerable demand for
Benares sugar has sprung up for Bombay and the ..Per-
sian Gulf, causing an advance in that quantity of 3 to 4
annas per maund. Buyers show less disposition to ope-
rate in hides for Great Britain, but an average quantity
goes forward to the American market. Linseed has
been in considerable demand, and the price of the article
has advanced to 212 and 2 14. Rape seed has been
less inquired for, but with no alteration in price. New
jute has made its appearance, and a small parcel, not of
the best quality, has been placed at 2 11 per maund ;
the quotation is now 3r. per maund for old. In lac dye
the finer marks are only asked for ; stocks, however,
are decreasing, and it is reported that the raw material
in the interior is dear. The stocks of shell lac are also
moderate, and this circumstance, added to the American
demand, tends to maintain prices. Saltpetre is less ac-
tive for the home market, and prices not so buoyant as
they were. Safflower attracts but partial attention.
Our report on cotton goods will be found to be of *
more cheering character than our late ones have Wag.
The market continues in a healthy state, although de-
liveries have been checked by the cause alluded to in
our last Price Current. Importers remain very fit*
and in respect to some descriptions of piece goods Are
looking for better prices. Lappets are still being Aver.-
done, the imports considerably exceeding the deliveries.
A considerable business has been transacted in mule
twist, at improved value for all numbers above 3g.
German Turkey red yarn has been freely placed, at un-
altered prices. Orange yarn is more inquired .for than
)1 ilte,and has been looking up during the last fevi-days.
Light green is wanted for Burma'', but the darker shade
of that colour neglected.

iron can be more easily placed. Sheet and plate liat,3
improved 2 to 3 annas per maund, and bar 1 to g annas.
Importers are, however, looking for a further advance.
Spelter has risen to Company's rupees 10-6 per maund.
Lead is in good request, and pig is quoted ata-14 to 8-Q.
Salt has declined ; 89 rupees
,to 90 rupees is, offered
for stoved, and 86 to 87 for butter, but hailers prefer
storing in bond to accepting these prices.
The money market is kept well suppliedien, former
terms of interest and discount., The share market con-
tinues firm. Bank of Bengal shares have been sojd at
6,150. New Oriental Life Insurance scrip isfreelyAnken
at 435. In other joint stock scrip we have no change
to report.
Exchange for the present mail has been very steady.
The bulk of transactions have been negotiated at >2-1 ;
for credit, 2-1 k for document bills, at six months' eight,
but a small amount was done at a higher figure.
Freights have slightly improved. The quotations for
London now are-31. 15s.' saltpetre ; 3/. 17s. 6d. to 41.,
