Cotton Yarn--There is a very good inquiry for the
best quality. Mules of No. 20, as also in water of 20
and 30, are readily saleable; other counts continue nearly
in the same state as before reported, and those that are
packed in 2001 b. bales are readily saleable at our quota-
tions. A larger amount of business has been done than
what we reported in our last for the latter half of the
last month.

Dyed—A very good demand has sprung up, and from
the following list of sales it will be observed that as
much as 12 annas per lb. have been obtained for No. 40
in bundles of 711 b.
Turkey Red—The inquiry is only confined to best
quality. We quote as before it. and 7a. to It. and 12a.
per lb. The sales of Mule, water and orange, that have
come to our knowledge since the second instant, are the
following:-
800 bales mule, No. 20, at 61; 303 at 7f; 40s at 8 and
8i; 50s at 9f and 91; 60s at 10 annas per lb.
• 30 bales water 20s at 71 ; 8 bales water 36s at 91
annas per lb.
Orange-5,0001b. No. 40, at 12 annas ; 6,0001 b. 303,
40s, and .50s at 91 ; 611 b. bundle, and 42 bales, 40s, at
9f or 9i per lb., 6flb. bundle.
Metals—English iron continues in demand, but no
further improyement has taken place in prices.
A salt of 450 candies, of a common assortment, has
ii been reported at 33 rupees. •
Swedish bars—On the departure ast mail a
sale of 200 candies of unsuitable assort elt r
was effected
at 481 rupees, and since two sales of very good assort-
ment, chiefly consisting of square bars, have been
effected, one of 150 candies at 52 rupees, the other of
300 candies at 50 rupees per candy. In other irons, no
alteration worthy of notice, excepting in sheets and
hoops, on which a decline of one quarter to ono-half
rupee has taken place.

Copper continues in demand. The stock in the first
hand is none, and that of the bazaars is very moderate.
We therefore expect our present quotations will be
maintained for some time to come.

Spelter—A speculative inquiry is going on from the
European houses, in consequence of its having risen con-
siderably in England, and therefore 12A- to 123- rupees
are asked by the bazaar dealers, fur a small quantity they
hold of their former purchases.
The following arc the sales of metals that have been
made since the 2d instant:—

450 Candies of English bar iron at 33 rupees.
150 do. Swedish do. „52 „
200 do. do. do. „ 48i „
300 do. do. do. „ 50_
300 Cwt. Swedish steel in tubs „ „
700 do. do. do do. „ 8i „
400 do. hoop iron at 7.
125 Candies square nail rod at 46.
180 Cwt. braziers' copper at 61.
150 do. sheathing copper at 58f.
20 do. copper sheathing nails at 56k.
Cochineal continues scarce, and only a small quantity
has been imported, of which 1,5001 b. have been sold at 4
rupees and 12 annas per lb.
Saffron—We have heard of no sales. We quote at 8
rupees to 18 per lb.
Beer—The celebrated brewers, Allsops, have become
in high favour, and we have heard of sales to the extent
of 300 hogsheads being made at 75r. per hogshead of
the lust October brew, which are expected to arrive here
in the month of April next. In Bass we have heard of
sales to the extent of 150 hogsheads at 45r. of the old
brew. Of last October brew with their brand we have
heard of no sales.

Spirits—We have heard of the following sales:-
41 hogsheads brandy at 3r. per gallon.
10 do. brown and pale, at 3r. 21a.
45 do. gin, coloured, at lr. Ba.
Cotton—Prices on now have advanced a little, owing
to the demand for the China market.

90r. have been paid for new Oomrawooty, and 100
and 102 are asked for Broach and Jumbooser ' • the
former are arriving in large quantities, and the latter
will begin to arrive here at the end of the present or
beginning of next month. New Dhollerah has also been
imported, but as yet iu small quantities.
Of the old crop there is a large stock on the green,
and a decline has taken place, and a further decline is
anticipated. The following are the purchases made
since the 21 inst., for both English and China markets.

Opium—Malwa has not varied much. In few in-
stances a trifling advance was paid for an approved
parcel. We quote I,llor. to 1,120 r. per chest.
Freight—Has not much altered. Since our last, three
vessels have engaged their cargo both for London and
Liverpool, at 6/. 155., and within the last few days ton
nage has become again scarce, and 6/. 17s. 6d. has been
paid for the latter port.
To China it has receded, owing to many large country
vessels being pat on the berth, and we have heard of an
engagement done at 22r. per candy, which are our quo-
tations of the ay.
EXCHANGE.
It has risen, and purchases for the mails have been
effected at 2s. O'd. for bills from China, and at 2s. Oid.
to 2s. Old. for local ones at six months' sight. On Cal-
cutta thirty days' sight, 99r. 6a.
Bank Stock—Shares in the Bank of Bombay, 36 per
cent. premium.
Do. Oriental Bank, 201 to 21 premium.
Do. Commercial 4 to 4i premium.
MAIICII 15, Two O'CLOCK.

Since morning a great demand has arisen for bills on
England, and the rate has fallen to 2s. Old. and 2s. Old.,
at which several transactions have been effected.
This demand is attributed to the reduction to Is. 10d.,
which took place in the bills of the Lion. Company
on India, of which a largo quantity has come by the
mail of Saturday last.
The rate for Government bills on Bengal has also re-
ceded, and is now not higher than 98i for sixty days'
sight.
CALCUTTA.

(From the Calcutta Overland Paice Current.)
March B—The Government express of the mail, via
Bombay, came to hand on the 23d ult., and put us in pos-
session of London dates to January 7 ; as, however,
business had only recommenced a day or two previous to
the dispatch of the mail, the commercial intelligence was
not of much importance, except as confirming that
brought by the Bentinck. In this market we have but
little change to notice, but if anything there has been
rather more doing in produce, and even less in imports,
the former being induced by the continuance of their
advances by Government at the rate of 2s. per rupee,
and the comparative low prices which the large stocks
have compelled holders to accept, and the latter by the
