and a small quantity of old copper (bottom) at 273 rupees
per candy. In other descriptions of metal there is no change.
PtEcE Goons (India. )_.The recent unfavourable ac-
counts from England have, as we anticipated, had a mate-

look for any improvement until more encouraging advices
arc received from Europe.

goods and twist also there have been
tent at the prices quoted above.

MONEY MARKET,
SOVEREIONS.—Scarce; prices rate from 10 rupees 5
sou to 10 rupees 6 suns each.

It will be seen by the memorandum undernoted, that
the exports of the last twelve months are less than those
of the previous veer by about 13,000 mds. •
COTTON. —We have heard of no transactions in this
staple, but when the new crop comes in we expect to see
prices at such low rates as will induce shipments to Great
Britain, as in the preFent state of our warlike operations
with China parties arc not likely to purchase for that.
market.

RAW SILK.—For some time after the mail arrived in.
tending purchasers held back, but the firmness of the sel-
lers brought them to market, and nearly all that remained
of the November hund has been diFposed of at full former
prieeq. .

The accounts from the silk districts aro rather of a con-
tradictory nature; however, we are disposed to thick that
the March bough %sill Frove a fair one. The exports are

SILK l'iFer..Go3ns.—Since the arrival of the January
mail the transactions have been very limited, and the
prices of Clioppahs and Bandanas have fallen considerably.
Coralis arc, ii,wcyri, saleable at former prices, but there
are very tow of 1.,..00d quality in the place.
Ic will be .s..cn by the memorandum underneath that the
Americans have only taken off this year 40,000 pieces of
Choepshs and Itait,lantias against nearly 200,000 the year
before ; it is, theror,, natural to conclude that they will
bc purchk,ers in the London market, to flax
prices there are likely to rise.
Rica —The shipments lust rminth were very heavy, 40
they are nti+v beginning to fall off owing to the high rates
of freight, and we do not expect much more will he
shipptd uctii Novemb2r and December next, as the sugar
crop is likely to occupy all the tonnage we shall have
during the hot season end rains. The prices arc truck
more moderate now.
