Woe Iler s—Almost all descriptions continue neglected,
and only a aleable at miserable prices. Imports in March
Were 31 be les.
Mule Twist The demand for yarn has been ex-
tremely languid throughout the past fortnight, and to
effect sale's a. considbrable decline on our last quotations
became necessary, mere especially on Nos. 30 to 50, and
has been s übmitted to on the sales effected, although,
generally a peaking, resisted by holders, who appear in-
clined to he dd on until ari improved inquiry is experenced,
'which may be anticir..ated in June, July, and August ;
but as the a took or, hand is heavy, and the quantity on
the way quite adequate to any probable demand, we
cannot say t 1 tat the prospect appears very encouraging.
Imports in J 1 Jr/eh were 3,555 bales, or 1,762,3201 b.
Coloured 'F.."arn—There has been some little improve-
tent in the demand for Turkey red yarn, which, as
well as ortilage has had rather an upward tendency,
although
' the business done has not bacn heavy. Imports
lu garnb were as follows : Bales. lb.
need ... 89 or 35,600
Orange ... 67 or 21,000
Me' ads—Business under this head is apparently quite
at a I .tand for the present ; for, although holders have
bee. 3 gradually reducing their demands, dealers cannot
itr,duced to come forward, and we have not heard of a
*.lng:le sale in either copper or spelter throughout the
last fortnight, so that our quotations are necessarily
ennipletely nominal, being merely the rates at which
sorao parties would be willing to realise, whilst others
are. still holding firmly. Iron has again lost the advance
noticed in our last, and participates in the general

THE BOMBAY MARKET.
TritritsDAY, APRIL 15.—Since the last bi-monthly
report our import market has not experienced the least
ernotr"'rnent but, on the contrary, all descriptions of
w
fabrics, as well as most descriptions of metals, are
BO
to be had at lower prices, and as our purchasers for
e NI; tati on to Persia, Arabia, and the coast, are with-
inawing themselves from the market, prior to the break-
(); up e.f the fine season, we must shortly expect to see
vaill.ta.ations confined for some time to the supply of local
01?)atton Manufactures—There has been a larger amount
thanesine.ss done in piece goods during the past fortnight
Pesti ju- the preceding one, but in the absence of any
th4olar demand, transactions have been brought about
beforeY by importers, in their eagerness to realise stocks
prieee, the final close of the season, submitting to lower
Ind 13; the bulk of the sales consisting of grey shirtings
40 iochil4aPoda.ms, more particularly of the tomer, in
tides, width, which have been forced off in large quan-
ties h The demand that previously existed for domes-
as disappeared with the retirement of the Persian
Zere, and these goods, in common with all others,
ic e.
now dfficult to sell, even at a great reduction in
Vr
Dyed Goods and Prints continue dull.
Cotton Yarn—Grey is not saleable so readily as it was
and shows a tendency to fall in prices. The sales of the
fortnight are very trifling, consisting merely of 105 bales
of 8001 b. each, as follow:
Water-25 bales. No. 30 36

annas 8 9+ per lb.
No. 30 40 50

Mule-80 ~

apnea 71 8 91 at 91 10 pr lb.
In dyed yarn, 5,0001 b. of " Turkey red," good quality,
y
are said to have been sold to arrive,
, at 1,1 rs. per lb. for
average No. 40, but in " orange ' no transactions have
transpired.
Woollens continue dull, but we are advised of the fol-
lowing sales of cloth:-
192 pieces 4,609 yards scarlet save-
list cloth, at Rs.
72 pieces 1,800 yarde assorted
colour savelist cloth, at annas .
24 pieces 626 i yards dark blue stout
cloth, at Its 2 0 0 ~
In flannel there is nothing doing that we hear of.
Metals—Transactions in these have heen limited
several descriptions having become difficult to move,
amongst which may be numbered Bar Iron, both Swe-
dish and British. Of this latter kind about 1,000 can •
• dies were sold early in the month at 31 rs. to 311 rs.
per candy; and about 200 candies Square at 40 rs. per
randy. No sales have been reported in Nailrod, Sheet,
or Hoop Iron, but for the two last-mentioned kinds
lower prices are being offered. In ails we hear of a
sale of 200 kegs at 121 rs. per cwt. Copper—ln Sheath-
ing and Braziers we have to notice a decline in prices,
owing tol recent arrivals; and 200, cwt. of Braziers have
been sold at 60 rs. per cwt. Tiles, however, have some-
What improved, a parcel of 75 cwt. having fetched 51}
rig• per cwt. Speltre—The inquiry for this metal is less
active
wt.
in smallthanit was, but we have heard of a sale of 1,000
plates at l 2 rs. In Lead, Tin Plates, or
Steel, nothing has taken place, and prices remain nomi-
nally as last quoted.
Cochineal—A recent importation of 1,7001b5. has been
gold at 'qrs. per lb., and shout 4,0001b5. to arrive have
been disposed of at 41rs. and 4rs. per lb., the former
price being for delivery in a week, and the latter for ar-
rival about the middle of next month.
Saffron—The prices of this article continue to give
way, owing to the lateness of the season. 50 lb. of good
quality have been disposed of at 15irs. per lb.
Marine Stores continue without improvement. There
has been an arrival of white lead, but, being in the hands
of native importers its fate has not been reported.
Beer—We continue without any arrivals of the new,
and have, therefore, nothing to report.
Spirits—The market in general dull. We have heard
of sales
