FREIGHTS.

We have again to rep )rt great want or activity in
()At- ficigtlL u.arlzct, but the firmness of consignees
prevents rates from falling, and our quotations remain
without material change. We give them as follows:

31. 7s. 6d. per ton. To China, 10r. per candy, and
Calcutta, 325 r. to 345 r. per rass for salt.

XCIIAMG C.

Until the end of last week the rate for six months'
sight bills was nominally at Is. 10id., and would
doubtless have gone lower owing to the non-arrival
of the China steamer until last night, but one of the
banks having raised its rate to Is. 100., buyers came
forward very freely, and considerable transactions
have been the result. Today the bank broker has
been selling Oriental bank draughts at ls. 100. six
months' sight, and is. 10fd. thirty days' sight.
Russell's and Jardine's bills have also found pur-
chasers at ls. 100., but buyers look for better rates.
Court of Directors' bills on Calcutta were sold yes-
terday at par, sixty days' sight.

CALCUTTA.
(From the Englishman of Sept. 20.)
The Express, with London dates to the 7th of
August last, arrived on the 13th, followed by the
regular mail on the 15th inst. In the colonial mar-
kets at home the inquiry for East India produce was
less active, and the value of some articles have become
lower. Money was, however, superabundant, and the
prospects of the harvest most satisfactory.
Our produce market, since the date of our last
report, has exhibited that increased degree of activity
usually observable before the commencement of the
Doorga Poorja holydays, when holders of country
goods are anxious to realize, and shippers and agents
to load and clear out their ships previous to the cessa-
tion of business. Buyers and sellers have conse-
quently, freely met each other, all parties feeling that
they had no time to waste in bargaining. The. reports
from the indigo districts, with one or two unimportant
exceptions, continue to be very satisfactory the crops
in the neighbourhood of Mirzapore have materially
recovered from the backward state into which they had
been thrown by the long-protracted drought, and the
total out turn cannot now be estimated at less than
1,18,000 to 1,20,000 maunds. The exports up to
date amount to 36,018 chests, containing 1,32,705
maunds, of which 2G,663 chests have gone to Great
Britain and 6,452 chests to France. Up to the arrival
of the 7th of August mail the demand for sugar con-
tinued active, and a large business has been trans-
acted. Saltpetre has continued in steady inquiry for
the American market, and the demand for home ship-
ments has increased, although chiefly confined to the
medium and lower sorts. Rice has attracted a little
more notice for the Eugliai market. The stocks of
safflower have been reduced to a small quantity of
bad and mixed qualities, which were held at prices
ranging much above their proper value. The finer

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 par 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 10k, the
bulk of transactions being at 1 101 fur 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 4/. ss. to
41. 7s. 6cl. 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 thee, must be
attributed the unexpectedly improved result of the
general out-turn, of which the estimatea,How ruu up
to 118,000 to 120,000 maunds, 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 issues are-6,000 bags Benares, first Br. 10a.
to Br. 14a. ; second, Br. 2a. to Br. Ba.; third, 7r. 9a.
to Br. ; 800 bags Mirzapore dull grayish low whitee,
7r. 4a. to 7r. 12a.; 1,950 bags of Dumma grays, 6r.
14a. to 7r. ; yellows, 6r. 6a. to 6r. 12a.; browns, sr.
Ba. to 6r. 3a. ; 400 bags of Gurpatta grayish yellow,
6r. 7a. to 6r. 9a. ; 2,000 bags of Seebpore Vacuum
sort, good yellow, Br. 6a.
Saltpetre-To a steady and not inconsiderable de-
mand for the American markets, an increased in-
quiry for home shipments made itself felt, the latter
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, 6r. 9a. to 6r. 15a.; 530 bags of Mozufferpore,
6r. Ba.; 2,400 bags of Allygunge, 6r. to 6r. Ba.;
3,200 bags of Chupra, Sr. Ba. to 6r.
Rice-This pulse has met with some inquiry for
Great Britain, and about 5,600 bags of Table sorts
have been disposed of-good bold, lr. 15a. to 2r.;
fair, Ir. 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 cat Balam, at Jr. la. 9p. to lr. 2a.
Safflower-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 hare
witnessed it at any period during the past twelve
months. Reported sales-70 maunds of Cossiasbazar
silk, at 6r. Ba. per Fy. seer ; 16, at 7r. 6a. ; 20, at
7r. 7a. ; 80, at 7r. Ba. ; 15, at 7r. 12a. ; 27, at Br. 9a.';
20, at Br. 104 ; 112 maunds of Gonateah, at 6r. 2a.
per ditto ; 14 maunds of Radnagore, at sr. 2a. per
Benares seer, 16 at Gr. Ba.; 25 maunds of Hurry-
paul, at 7r. le.; 25, at 7r. 25.; 25, at 7r. 3a.; 25, at
7r. 4a. ; 22, at 7r. Ba. • 25 at Br. per ditto.
Silk Piece Goods-The inquiry which sprang up
for the ordinary and superior descriptions of combs
has continued with unabated eagerness, and the oper-
ations in that article have consequently been exten-
sive. Reported sales-1,000 pieces Cossimbaz Ar silk
torahs, at 95r. per corge ; 2 000, at 97r.; 500, at
98r. ; 1,000, at 100 r.; 10,0003 at 102 r.; 500, at
103 r ; 3,600, at 104 r.; 4,000, at 110 r.; 1,000, at
113 r. ; 5,900. at 120 r.

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. 4.1. per nanind ; 50 boxes
Beerbhoom, at 9r. 4a.; 50, at 9r.12a. ; 150, at 9r. 14a. ;
50, at 10r. ; 50, at 10r. ; and NO 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 bides. 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 38r.
Jute—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. 2a. per bale. Re-

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
linseed at 2r. 3a. per maund ; 150 at 2r. 3a. 6p.;
350 at 2r. 4a. 6p.
Cutch—No sales are reported.
Ginger—Reported sales--200 maunds dry ginger
at 3r. 6a. per maund ; 500 at 3r. 7a.
Rum—The only reported transaction in this spirit
is one cf 100 hhds, at 51a. per gallon.'
Opium—Aler the last sale the prices of the drug
fell to 990 to 995 for Patna, and 1 004 for Benares ;
rates afterwards improved to 1,000 for Patna, and
1,015 Benares. Our quotations now are, 996 to 990
for Patna ; there is no Benares in the market.

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 descriptions, which
will doubtless be considerably increased during the
holidays, so that chances appear to be in favour of
lower rather than higher prices on the resumption of
business in October. The demand for fine gray

In metals, copper has rallied a little, bit most kinds
of iron are dull of sale, while other descriptions are
only in a very moderate demand.
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
lower 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 for all sorts of 45-inch cloths.
White shirtings continue without change 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 goods continue to do well,
and stocks keep moderate. Imports in August, 1,330
pieces.
Madapollams—Bo!h gray and white cloths are
somewhat lower in value, and inquiry is comparatively
languid. Imports in August, white, 3,405 pieces;
gray, 16,314 pieces.
Jacconets —Demand for grays has continued very
slack, so that sales have been small, and prices any-
.

thing but satisfactory. For fine descriptions of white
goods a fair inquiry has prevailed at about former
rates, but low qualities have fallen off a little both in
demand and value.
White Cambrics—Sales continue trifling, and the
value of 45-inch goods remain as before. Imports in
August, 1,300 pieces.
White Figured Cambrics and Shirtings—Prices
continue somewhat lower, but demand is fair.
Lappets remain without change in value, and the
existing inquiry is chiefly for Japan spots, fine Swiss,
and the very lowest quality of all-over goods. Sales
of other sorts are effected with great difficulty. Im-
ports in August, 7,644 pieces.
1 1800 k Muslins—One or two arrivals from the Clyde
have taken place, and the portion of their cargoes '
corisisting of book has met with ready sale at ad•
vanced rates, as high as 1 11 Company's rupees per
piece having been obtained for No. 1 ; fine goods are
still in brisk demand. Imports in August, 795 pieces.
Mall Mulls—There is less demand than usual at
this season of the year for fine goods, but all of the
common and ordinary qualities being rather light in
stock, are saleable at fair prices.
Turkey Red Mulls—This class of goods continues
to improve both in value and demand.
Turkey red printed mulls continue without change.
Turkey Red Twills and Cambrics—A. good in-
quiry still exists for narrow cambrics and wide twills,
but sales have not been very extensive.
Prints and Chintzes—t•tocks on hand are very
moderate, but demand has fallen off considerably, and
most sorts are now rather less valuable than they
were, especially Turkey red chintzes. Muslin dress
pieces continue very low in value.
Dhooties and scarfs have sold to a fair extent at
tolerable prices.
Woollens—Sales have been less extensive, but
their value, generally speaking, is very well sup-
ported.
Mule Twist—Nearly 1,600 bales have been placed
since our last report. No. 50 and upwards at fully
former prices. No. 40, especially of common quality,
has again declined in value, and is not easy to sell.
20 and 30 are in very alight inquiry, and do not
realise satisfectory prices. Imports in August,
10,06,0601 b.
Coloured Yarns—A little more desire has recently
become apparent on the part of dealers to lay in stocks
of Turkey red, and sales have consequently been on
a fair scale, and showing also rather better prices.
A small sale of green is noted, while orange has
fuund purchasers to a comparatively large extent.
Copper has rallied a little in demand, and prices,
too, have slightly improved. We now quote sheathing
40r. 81. to 40r. 10a. (Company's); tile, 33r. 4a. to
33r. 12a. (Sicca), and Japan 36r. 10a. (Company's)
per F. maund.
Iron continues in very dull demand, and stocks
have, of late, been added to considerably. Our quo-
tations are, common bar, 2r. sa. to 2r. 7a. (Com-
pany's) ; sheet, 4r. 4a. to 4r. 12a. (Company's);
hoop, 4r. 4a. to 4r. 10a. (Company's) per P. maund.
Spelter continues quite neglected, and although a
sale of 2,500 maunds is reported at 7r. Ba. (Com-
pany's), there is still an active want of animation in
reference to this metal.
Steel—No sales are reported.
Beer—There are no sales of either Bass's or All
sop's reported. Tennant's has sold at 46r. (Corn
pany's) per hhd.
