Ccrahs have also ten Ale S
sue new jute sells freely at 11 to
11 , per bale. The Americans have exported 33.803
maunds of linseed since the Ist inst.
The import market is closing rather heavily. This
may be accounted for by the fact that 'goods pur-
chased shortly before the vacation cannot be placed
en route for the Upper Provinces until its termination,
and the knowledge of heavy imports during the past
fortnight of goods which are likely to be offered for
when business commences, added to the proba-
bility
iof stocks being further increased by fresh
arrivals n the interim, deters dealers from- being
active in their operations. A fair amount of business
has, nevertheless, been done in gray shirtings and
Manchester cloths. Some particular kinds of Scotch
fabrics sell well, while others are difficult of sale.
The higher numbers of mule twist are still in excel-
lent request, with an upward tendency in price; the
lower numbers are neglected, and have declined in
value. Metals continue dull. Copper has slightly
improved. All kinds of iron are depressed, and lower
in value. Shelter may be quoted at 7r. 61. to 7r. Ba.
Sheet lead has fallen to 7r. 3a.
The money-market remains unaltered, and abun-
dantly supplied. Company's paper is quoted at 4a.
to Ba. discount New Fives; 1-4 to 1-8 Sicca ditto;
14 to 14 8 Company's Fours; 15 to 15.8 Sicca ditto.
The subscriptions to the New Five per Cent. Loan
have lately received a considerable increase, chiefly
from the Bombay Presidency. Bank of Bengal
Shares are not wanted, and a few Agra Bank Shares
have been forced upon the market at 475.
Exchange continues steady at 1 101- to 10i, the
bulk of transactions being at 1 10i- for six months'
paper.
Since the date of our last report, freights have un-
dergone considerable fluctuations; the rate to London
came down to 41 for dead weight, but they have
since rallied, and may now be quoted at 41. ss. to
41. 7s. 6d. for tonnage in ships clearing before the
holidays. To Liverpool the rate is 41. to 41. 2s. 6d. *.
Indigo-The weather has since our last issue con-
tinued most favourable for all planters' operations, and
it is generally admitted that a succession of such
propitious six weeks as those last past has not been
experienced for many seasons. To this circumstance,
just happening at the most momentous time, must be
attributed the unexpectedly improved result of the
general out-turn, of which the estimates now run up
to 118,000 to 120,000 reminds, and these may be
considered as a nearly established fact, most of the
leading concerns having closed their labours.
Sugar-A slight decline in freight established
shortly after the departure of last mail, combined
with a more general inclination to realise before the
holydays, offered inducement to buyers for renewed
active operations, particularly since holders met 2a. to
4a. reduced bids rather freely, and extensive business
obtained, which was, however, less spiritedly followed
up since the arrival of the home letters, with dates to
the 7th of August. The reported transactions since
our last issees are-6,000 bags Benares, first Br. 10a.
to Br. 14a.; second, Br. 2a. to Br. Ba.; third, 7r. 9a.
to Br, ; 800 bags Nirzapore dull grayish low white,,
7r. 4a. to lr. 12a.; 1,950 bags of Durnina grays, Or.
14a. to 7r. ; yellows, Gr. 6a. to Or. 12a.; browns, sr.
Ba. to Gr. 3a. ; 400 bags of Gurpatta grayish yellow,
6r. 7a. to Gr. 9a. ; 2,000 bags of Seebpore Vacuum
sort, good yellow, Br. Ga.
Saltpetre-To a steady and not inconsiderable de-
mand for the Arnefican markets, an increased in-
quiry for home shipments made itself frit, the later
being mostly directed to the medium and lower sorts,
which by consequent competition improved 2a. to 3a.,
whilst the superior kinds were only with difficulty
disposed of, at unaltered rates. The reported trans-
actions since our last amount to 500 bags of good to
fine, Or. 9a. to Gr. 15a. ; 530 bags of Mozufferpore,
Or. Ba. ; 2,400 begs of Allygunge, Or. to Or. 8a.5
3,200 bags of Chnpre, sr. Sa. to Gr.
Ric•-This pulse has rwq with some inquiry for
Great Britain, and about 5,C00 bags of Table torts
have been dispoA.d of-good bold, lr. ISa. to 2r.;
fair, lr. 12a. to ir. 14a. The demand for the kinds
suitable to the Mauritius continues, and rates are
slightly improved in the reported sales of about 11,000
bags of Belem, at lr. la. 9p. to lr. 2a.
Safflewer-We have no transaction to report since
our last, the stock being reduced to a mere trifle of
badly mixed qualities, held much above their value.
Raw Silk-In our last report we remarked that
the better qualities of this staple had come into greater
demand; this demand has been well sustained, and in
some instances has been extended to the inferior
qualities, which, however, are still generally neglected.
The silk market has been more active than we have
witnessed it at any period during the past twelve
months. Reported sales-70 maunds of Cossimbazar
silk, at Or. Ba. per Fv. seer ; 16, at 7r. 6a.; 9-.0. at
r. 7a. ; 80, at 7r. Ba. ; 15, at 7r. 12a.; 27, at Br. 9a.;
20, at Br. 10a. ; 112 maunds of Gonateah, at Gr. 2a.
per ditto ; 14 maunds of Radnagore, at sr. 2a. per
Benares seer, 16 at Gr. Ba.; 25 maunds of Hurry-
paul, at 7r. la. ; 25, at 7r. 24.; 25, at 7r. 3a. ; 25, at
7r. 4a. ; 22, at 7r. Ba. ; 25 at Sr. per ditto.
Silk Piece Goods--The inquiry which sprang up
for the ordinary and superior descriptions of coral's
has continued with unabated eagerness, and the oper-
ations in that article have consequently been exten-
sive. Reported sales-1,000 pieces Cossimbazer silk
coral's, at 95r. per corge ; 2,000, at 97r. ; :eOO, at
98r. ; 1,000, at 100 r. ; 10,000, at 102 r. ; 500, at
103 r. ; 3,000, at 104 r. ; 4,000, at 110 r.; 1,000, at
113 r.; 5,900, at 120 r.

[PRICE SD.

Shellac and Lac Dye—The demand for these p:o-
-ducts is but moderate, which may, perhaps, be
ascribed to the market being rather bare of desirable
qualities of lac dye. Reported sales-51 boxes Mir-
zapore shell lac, at 9r. 4s. per miund ; 50 boxes
Beerbhoom, at 9r. 4a. ; 50, at 9r.12a. ; 160, at 9r. 14a. ;
50, at 10r. ; 50, at 10r. 41.; and ICO boxes Beerbhoom
lac, at 22r. Ba. per ditto.
Hides—These goods continue in good demand
both for the British and American market, especially
the heavy and better description of hides. The
bazaar is now bared of all the good qualities of hides,
and the imports have fallen off considerably. Conti-
nental buyers are still inactive in this market. The
Americans continue to be extensive buyers of goat
skins, heavy cow and buffalo hides. Reported sales-
-1;350 pieces of green cow, at 23r. per corge ; 2,000 of
Gauzepore slaughtered green cow, at 32r. ; 1,400 of
Calcutta slaughtered green cow, at 35r. ; 4,000 at 33r.
Juts—This favourite article for light freight con-
tinues in good demand. The produce of the new crop
is coming more plentifully to market, and is readily
placed as it arrives, at 11r. to 11r. 23. per bale. Re-
ported sales-150 bales of old Jute at Br. per bale;
50 at Br. Ba. ; 400 at Dr.; 150 at Se. 81.; 500 at
9r. 12a. ; 250 at 10r. 2a.; 3,200 new at 11r. ; 1,000 at
11r. 2a.

Oilseeds—The Americans still continue to be the
principal operators in linseed, which, it will be ob-
served from our exports, they have taken very exten-
sively. The British market is attracting some ship-
ments of mustard seed. Reported sales-450 bags
linseel at 2r. 3a. per maund ; 150 C, 2r. 3a. 6p.;
350 at 2r. 4a. 6p.
Cutch—No sales are reported.
Ginger—R-ported sales--200 maunds dry gir ger
at 3r. Ga. per maund ; 500 ut 3r. 7a.
Rum—The only reported transaction in this spirit
is one f 100 hhds, at sia. per gallon.
Opium—Af er the last sale the prices of the drug
fell to 990 to 995 for Patna, and 1 004 for Benares •
rates af er wards improved to 1,000 for Patna, and
1,015 Benares. Our quotations now are, 995 to 990
for Patna ; there is no Benares in the market.
IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.
British Cotton Piece Goods—Our last report was
dated the 7th inst., and dispatched per Bentinek
steamer, since when our import market has been rather
less lively, owing to a falling off in demand, occasioned
partly by the near approach of the Doorga Pooja
holidays, and partly, no doubt, by somewhat heavy
arrivals during the past fortnight. Business closes
this day with a very moderate inquiry for goods, and
with abundant supplies of most descripions, which
will doubtless be considerably increased during the
holidays, so that chances appear to be in favour of
lower rather then higher prices on the resumption of
busluess in October. The demand for fine gray
shirtings has continued unabated, while in Manchester
cloths generally there has been a fair amount of bu-
siness doing. Some kinds of Scotch fabrics still bear
a high value, while on the other hand many are
exceedingly difficult of sale. Mule twist in No. 50
and upwards has continued to attract a goof deal
of attention, and prices of these numbers are well
supported. No. 40 and downwards are lower in
value.

Gray Shirtings—Reported sales effected since our
last amounted to about 69,000 pieces, including all
sorts; 66 and 72 reed cloths continue in lively re-
quest, and sell readily at good value. All of the
IJwer kinds of 40-inch goods, however, are again a
trifle down, demand having greatly subsided simul-
taneously with considerable imports and previous
ample supplies. A good demand at full prices still
prevails fur all sorts of 45-inch cloths.
White shirtings continue without *lunge except-
ing as far as regards common qualities, which are
now almost unsaleable, and their bazaar value is
unquestionably lower; meanwhile stocks are increas-
ing. Total sales since our last only amount to about
11,500 pieces. Imports in August, 44,950 pieces.
White Twills—These gond3 continue to do well,
and stocks keep moderate. Imports in August, 1,330
pieces.
11Iadapollams—Bo'h gray and white cloths are
somewhat lower in value, and inquiry is comparatively
languid. Imports in August, white, 3,405 piece:4;
gray, 16,314 pieces.
J acconets —Demand for grays has continued very
slack, so that sales have been small, and prices n,-
