Cotton Piece Goods--. 1 he supply at market is very
small, and owing to the active demand prevalent, prices
have in some descriptions advanced. Grey Jacconets
are in active demand at fair prices. Grey Mulls have
been more inquired for lately. 40 in. Grey Shirtings
are eagerly inquired for, and an advance of from 1 to 2
annas per piece has been obtained. The same remark
is applicable to 45 in., but not in the proportion given for
40 in. There is also a better demand for Grey Mada-
pollams, stocks of these having been lately very much
reduced. Bleached Shirtings are in active demand at
good prices. Bleached Madapollams are also inquired
tor, and sell readily at paying rates. Bleached Jacco-
nets :have also experienced a fair demand for low and
middling qualities, and the finer kinds have been more
inquired for. Carnbrics are dull of sale. Scotch goods
are very dull of sale. Turkey red fabrics have lately re-
ceived more attention, but dyed goods generally have
not been much inquired for. swiss Prints are rather
scarce.
