tinues pretty active. Money continues abundant. Go-
vernment Securities are fully as firm as at the departure
of last mail. In Bank Shares no alteration has taken
place, if we except Agra', which have risen still higher,
say 2 per cent. since last advises, 1 per cent. premium
having been given for a few.
Cotton Piece Goods —There has not been a single ar-
rival of these to ries since our last, and the mark .t is
again bare of both Grey and Bleached, which continue
in demand, the Merwarry and Goozerat traders being
still in the market. Grey Shirtings fully maintain their
former rates, except those above 64 reed, which have
slightly declined. Grey madapollarns are scarce, and if
on the spot would realize advanced priers. Grey jacco-
nets are also scarce, and command full prices. Coarse
make madafollems are now less inquired for, and prices
have slightly declined; as also grey longcloths. Grey
domestics are dull of sele. Bleached shirtings and jac-
conets have slightly declined from their late extreme
prices. Satin spots are in ready demand. Dyed Goods
—Turkey red plain cloth scarce and much wanted.
Twilled rather dull; as also prints, except those of first
quality.
Cotton Yarn—The market is somewhat dull, owing to
the rather large importations which have taken place of late,
and the near approach of the close of the season, which
has induced dealers to ,operate merely to the extent of
their immediate wants. Many of the holders have shown
much firmness, consequently business has been done to
a moderate extent only. Water Twist, Nos. 20 and 30,
have slightly declined. Dyed Yarn—Orange continues
in demand, whilst Turkey dis dull of sale.
Cochineal—The demand continued steady up to within
the last few days, and sales to the extent of 7,5001b5.
were efficted at Rs. 24 per lb. ; but since then less in-
quiry has existed.
Woollens—Under this head we have only to report the
following sales:-96 pieces, 24 yards each, scarlet, at Rs.
14, and the same quantity at. Rs 2 5 -16,1 i per yard.
Marine Stores—Canvas is less inquired for, as is also
cerdage. Paints continue dull, and prices have decline d.
100 cwt. of White, and 20 of Green, have been sold at
Rs. 104 per cwt. 300 gallons spirits of turpentine, im-
ported by the American ship Great Britain, have been
sold at R. 2 3-16 per gallon. This article, as well as
oil of linseed, continues stsady.
Beer, of all brands, is dull of sale, and is unmoveable
at our quotations except in small quantities.
Spirits-70 dozens brandy, at Rs. 8 per dozen, and 20
hogsheads sherry wine, at Rs. 200 per hhd., have been
disposed of since our last.

Paper-1,500 reams French foolscap, at R. 31, and
300 reams post, at Rs. 34 per ream, have been sold.

EXPORTS.

COTTON Woot.—The market has continued active,
and prices have further advanced. The present rates
are for new Compta Rs. 77, old Dhollera Its. 82 to 83,
end Surat 80 to 82. The quality of the cotton now in
the market is much inferior to what was shipped in the
early part of the season, and the dealers appear very re-
luctant to sell even at the above rates, owing to the
change in the weather; and a large quantity has already
been warehoused.

FREIGHTS.—The arrival of vessels from all parts al-
most daily has naturally caused the rates of freight to
England to decline still further, and the quotations now
are, to Liverpool 3/. to 31.25. 6d., and to London 2/. 17s. 6d
to 3/. There is no doubt that they will go still lower. To
the Clyde engagements have been made in a vessel nearly
loaded at 3/. ss. To China as high as Rs. 12i was paid
last week, and Rs. 12 is now offered in vessels ready to
receive cargo, which may be considered as the rate of
the day ; but this figure can scarcely be maintained in
the trace of such abundance of tonnage as is now Imo-
curable.
