ides—This market for some time has been very
unsteady. In our last report we had to advise symptoms
of a falling market, but wo have now to report that
prices have taken a sudden turn upwards. This change
may partly be accounted for from the fact that the
Imericans have again become buyers of cow-hides, and
the stock of good qualities being limited to two or threo
parcels, there is still a good demand for the British mar-
ket. The continental buyers are kill lookers-on. The
Americans have continued
_btiyers of buffalo hides and
goat skins, and during the List few days have become
competitors for good cow-hides.

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.
British Cotto❑ Piece Goods—Our last report, per
steamer, was dated the 2d inst., at which time the mar-
ket for all kinds of piece goods wore a very dull aspect.
Since then, however, we are happy in being able to
report a change of rather a favourable nature; within
the last few days dealers have shown considerably more
animation, and many kinds of goods which a short
while since were almost unsaleable are now again be-
ginning to move out. With this improvement, however
there has not so far been any favourable change in
prices. Sales of Manchester goods have been going on
pretty freely at about the rates current some 10 days
back. Mule twist, especially 50's and upwards, has at-
tracted more attention. Scotch goods have, generally
speaking, been much neglected. Metals have remained
quiet as regards extent of transactions, but prices are
firm, and even lookinc, up.
Gray Shirtings—fhe market has again been re-
plenished by recent arrivals, and some considerable
transactions in 40-inch cloths are reported to have taken
place. Prices con• inue low, especially for the common
and middling qualities. 45-inch cloths are still doing

well.
White Shirtings—There is no improvement noticeable
in the common sorts, while even in the best kinds trans-
actions have been small.
White Twills continue very little inquired for, and
move off but slowly.
MadJpollams—llemand has latterly become very mo-
derate, and prices, both for grey and white goods, are
looking down a little.
Jaconets—ln white goods a fair business has been
doing at or about former rates for low and middling
qualities, while fine descriptions are scarcely worth so
much by about 2 to 3 annas per piece. Gray cloths
keep low in value, •nd attract little or no attention at
present.
White Cambrics continue without demand, while stocks
of all sorts are considerable.

White figured cambrics and shirtings remain in tole-
rable request at perhaps a shade lower value.
Lappets have latterly been quite neglected, and for the
present it is almost impossible to get on with sales of
any sort excepting Swiss kinds, and even these attract
much less attention than they did a time back.
Book Muslins—Transactions have been small, but the
value of Burmah sorts still keeps up; while there is also
a good inquiry for fine and wide sorts, especially Swiss
goods.
Mull Mulls—Scarcely anything has been done in these
goods, there being very little icquiry for fine makes, and
common sorts are out of season.
Turkey Red Mulls show no improvement in any way.
Turkey Red Printed Mulls.--The very low prices at
which holders are willing to dispose of their present
stocks do not tempt any buyers.
Turkey Red Twills and Cambrics—Transactions have
been of a very limited nature, but there is still a fair in-
quiry for narrow cambrics, and also for vt ide twills, at
or about former prices.
Prints and Chintzes—Turkey red chintzes are in-
quired fur, and other styles are now beginning to attract
wore attendee.
Dhuoties and Scarfs—There is little or nothing doing
in this class of goods.
Woollens continue quite neglected.
Mule Twist—The market has rallied a good deal
within the last week, and sales have been on a larger
scale than fur some time past. Prices, however, show
no improvement excepting for 70's and upwards. The
present demand runs chiefly upon 50's and 60's, while
common 40's, which are abundant in stock, continue low
in value, and do not attract buyers.
Coloured Yarns—Turkey red has been much
neglected, very few sales being reported since our last
issue. Of green, a sale of S bales is noted at 13 annas
per lb. In orange, little or nothing has been doing.
Copper—Transactions of late have been of a very
limited nature. Accounts from Mirzapore, however, are
of a very satisfactory kind, and the market wears a steady
appearance, with firm if not rising prices. We now
quote sheathing, Company's rupees, 39 8; tile, sa. ru-
pees, 33 4 to 33 8 per fy. md.
Iran—The market of late has shown but little acti-
vity ; prices, however, are not much changed. We quote
hoop at Company's rupees, 5 4 to 5 8; sheet, Company's
rupees, 5 3 to 5 6; common bar, bolt, &c., Company's
rupees, 2 10 to 2 12 per fy. md.
Spelter—No sales of this metal are reported, but the
value is t6ll quoted Co.'s. rupees, 8 12 to 9 per fy. md.
Holders generally, however, arc by no means willing to
accept this figure.
Steel and lead maintain their former value, but sales
have been unimportant.
Salt—The following sales are reported since our last
issue:-
12,000 maunds Madras at ... Co.'s Rs. 60 per 100 mds.
Beer—No transactions of consequence are reported,
and the market continues dull, but Allsopp's is held
firmly at Co.'s Rs., 70 per hhd., and we hear of no change
in reference to the value of Bass's.
