sopp's, is very firm at 75 rupees. We have heard of a sale of
50 hogsheads of Tennant's at 52% rupees per hogshead.
Spirits—For gin of good quality there is a better in-
quiry ; but I.rand)"i is without change, and the stock of this
spirit in cask is still large. The sales of the fortnight consist
of about _ _

522 gallons of Pale Brandy at Rs. 3-4 per gallon.

EXTORTS.

Cotton Wool—A steadi1;;;;;; has been doing, both for
England and China, with very little change in prices ex-
cepting in Broach description, which in consequence of in-
ferior quality has declined about 3r. per candy upon our last
quotations. The following are the rates of the day :
Broach and Sarat Rs. 93 per candy.
Dhollera „ 82 at 86
Oomrawatty... „ 84 „ 85
Barsee „ 80 „ 82
Compta (old) „ 64
And they will certainly be maintained, if net increased, by
very favourable accounts just to hand from China, via Cab
cutta, to the 14th of March.
Sheep's Wool—Buyers are deterred from operating in this
article by the still high rates of freight, and the inferior qua-
lity of what is at market, at present prices. What shipments
are being made are consequently on owners account. The
present rates demanded are for—
Khorassan
Marwar
Mekran BO to 90 ff
Cutch lOO to 110 ft
Persian
Opium—There is very little doing in this drug, owing to
the difficulty of procuring good quality, but for the best
Malwa to be had 1,075 rupees to 1,100 rupees per chest is
being paid.
Tonnage—We had several arrivals of vessels shortly after
the departure of the last mail, which caused an immediate
decline in the rates of freight from 6/. 10s. down to 61. for
Great Britain; this latter is the present rate of London, but
freight far that port is very scarce, and the vessels on the
berth And great difficulty in getting cargo. The same rate
has been refused for Liverpool, and 61. ss. is asked. To China
the rate has been steady at 18 rupees per candy, but great
excitement has been produced by the very favourable ac-
counts just received from China for cotton, and engagements
have been done in country ships at the greatly advanced rate
of 22 rupees per candy.

The range of quotations for six months' sight bills on
London is 2s. to 2s. 01,4 d., the former being for China bills
with local endorsement, and the latter for local bills. There

is downward. On Calcutta 971 rupees for 100 rupees, sixty
days' sight, and the same at Madras. On China 207 to 208
rupees for 100 dolls.
Money Market—Money is rather scarce, though not suffi-
ciently as to embarrass commercial operations.

To London, per ton, 61. nominal.
To Liverpool, per ton, 6/. 55.
To China, per candy, 22r.
