abundant and seasonable, and the monsoon, which is
now drawing to a close, may be pronounced to have been
an average good one. The reports of crops from the in-
terior are in general most favourable, and the litarwar-
ries and others are already appearing in the market as
purchasers. A few Arabs also have been buyers.
Every description of textile fabrics is now finding a
readier sale than has been seen for years at this season,
and transactions would be more numerous and weighty,
but that holders generally look upon the prevalent prices
as low, and expect a rise. The moderate first cost,
however, at which much stock is now held, and can as
yet be replaced, at once enables sales to be effected
without loss at what would have been very low rates
during these some seasons past, and is in tact forcing
them to be so.
Grey and white shirtings. low and medium qualities,
have bold to the extent of 25.000 'o 30,000 pieces, and
grey madapollama the same. Grey jacconetshave been
in good request, and the price has improved, but the
stocks at market are small. Grey don.e..tics, after being
long neglected, are now in dea,and for dyeing pur-
poses, and for the Arab and Pr rsian mat kets. Bleat b, ,d
goods generally have been iu fair rt quest. Jaceonets
of the lower qualities selling let els', and shirtings being
much reduced in stock. Dhoti, s, handkerchiefs, Turkey
red cloths, prints, mulls, and madapollams, and prints
and chintzes generally, are all finding a ready sale, and
at better prices than prevailed at this season last year.
Yarns continue in fair request at former prices. The
sales reported are:—

128 bales mule yarn, 300 lb each bale—No. 20, 614;
No. 30, 64si; No. 40, 7-1 a; No. 50, 8a; No. 60, 9ka; No.

Orange yarn is much in:request, but stocks being ex-
hausted our quotations is nominal.
Metals are generally dull. Swedish bar is scarce and
wanted. Spelter continues in some request. The fol-
lowing are all the sales of which we are advised:-
1,500 cdy English iron ... ... 29 0 0
135 bundles steel ... ... 10 8 0
Cochineal is held largely by both first and second
hands, and the price remains low. We have heard of a
considerable sale at 3rs 1a per lb.
Beer and Spirits.—The stock of Allsopp's beer is ex-
hausted, and it has been freely selling to arrive at 70r.
per hhd. Bass has sold to the extent of nearly 100
hhds. at the same figure. Whitbread's, 100 hhds. at 50r.
In spirits the following sales have had effect :-
5 Brown Brandy, per gallon ... ... 212 0
10 Quarter Pale ditto, ditto ... ... 212 0
100 Cases Gin, 11 bottles square in each case 17 0 0
Sundries.-10,0001bs. ball thread, at 14a. to 15a. per lb.
263 boxes crown glass 100 feet square each box at
13i rs. per 200 feet.
In the export market cotton wool is rising, the demand
for China being brisk, and something doing for Great
Britain too. Opium is quoted; lower, and some is chang-
lag hands.

Freights to Great Britain are quoted at 21 15s to 31
per ton, though some engagements in second-class ships
have had effect at a lower figure. To China the rate of
the day is 10i rupees, though 11} has been given this
week. The supply of tonnage in the harbour is amply
adequate to all demand.

Vxchange and Money Market—The rate of the day
for paper at six months' sight is is 9 9-16 d to Is 90. It
has been at is 94d during the fortnight, and one of the
local banks has both been a large buyer and seller at
one figure, is 9itl—a somewhat useless way of working.
At 30 days' sight we quote is 8-id to is 80 per rupee.
On China we quote 208 rs per 100 dollars. On Madras
and Calcutta no quotations. Money yet remains easy,
and commerce is being restored. We quote stocks and

BENGAL COMMERCIAL REPORT.
GENERAL REMARKS.--As the arrival of the express
draws near, there is some disposition to wait recounts of
the progress of events in Europe. The necessity to
provide for remittances, by the steamer, has kept up a
fair demand for exports throughout the week. Business
has been more general, and dealers are generally con-
tent to realise at the late ruling prices.
Sugar remains the favourite object of demand, and a
good supply is kept up of all except fine qualities of Be-
nares, which, as usual at this period, commence to be
scarce. Raw silk is in more request, and at recent prices
a fair amount of business has been done. For corahs,
too, there has been some little inquiry. Saltpetre can
be purchased rather lower, but there is little doing for
England. Rice is neglected.
The late excitement in the opium market bad com-
pletely subsided, and Patna was down to 969 r. On
Thursday night a report got abroad that the China news
was in, and Patna yesterday morning was again at
1,020 r., but during the day subsided to 980 r. The sale
on Monday is likely to go lower, sinless the steamer or
the steamer's news should arrive before that day.
Manchester Cottons have been in active demand
throughout the week, and stocks in first hands wearing
out prices have moved up a little for most of the leading
staples. In Glasgow fabrics more business has been
done, and at rather better prices than were before ob-
tainable. The demand is far from general, and prices
are unsatisfactory. The Twist market remains bad,
holders urge sales, and prices continue to droop. Th(
advancing tendency in Metals has for the present sus-
tained a check. Dealers have purchased very freely of
late, and the accounts from the Upper Provinces, where
there is still much want of rain, and some anxiety felt
for harvest prospects, do not appear to warrant a further
advance.

(From the Englishman.)
CALCUTTA, SEPT. 7.—Business here, since the date of
our last report, had exhibited a little more animation
than we :have been accustomed to for some time past
owing: to the difficulty of getting bills of exchange,
which forced upon remitters the necessity of turning
their attention to produce. There has been no transac-
tion in indigo. Sugar, until lately, has maintained a
good inquiry for purposes of remittance at rather lower
rates, and since the arrival of the Precursor the market
has closed heavily. Tho operations in saltpetre have
been less extensive, at 2 to 4 annas reduced rates.

Rice remained almost totally neglected until the receipt
of the present home news, which has had the effect of
inducing an active demand. The holders of safflower
still requiring prices, which shippers cannot safely give,
transactions in that article have been very limited.
Raw silk has attracted a little more attention, and corahs
have been in better request. Lac dye and shell lao have
been neglected.

We have no reason to complain of the state in
which our import market has remained since the date
of our last report. A good demand has continued for
plain and useful fabrics of Manchester manufacture at
firm, and, in some cases, improved prices. Scotck
goods are without any improvement. Mule twist has
been in less demand at reduced rates. Coloured yarns
remain depressed. Metals maintained their position until
lately, when the demand somewhat slackened, and prices
lost their former firmness.
The Money Market has remained easy, and accom-
modation can be procured on approved securities at fair
rates. Government paper has fallen in value: our pre-
sent quotations are, Transfer Paper, 11 to 12 premium;
New Fives, 12 annas to discount, according to amount,
small sums commanding the best terms; Second and
Third Fives, 3.12 to 4 ditto; Company's Fours, 15-8;
Sicca ditto, 16-8; Bank of Bengal, shares 1,925 to 1,950
prem. The Bank has not yet published the rate of profitrealised during the past month, but judging from the
business transacted, its earnings cannot be higher than
those of July, which netted Rs. 5-1-2 8/ per annum on
capital stock.

The market has latterly been better supplied with bills
of exchange, but still the quantity offered has been very
far short of the demand. Our quotations are now 1 9
to 1.9 i for first-class document bills, and 1-9 k to 1.9
for American credits, which description of bill is scarce.
Oriental Bank bills 1-9; ditto, at sight, 1-7 i. Bank of
England post ,bills are freely taken at 1-8. A consi-
derable amount of Bengal post bills has been remitted,
and this kind of remittance appears to be getting into
better favour. Rupees 25,54,217 in value of bullion has
gone forward during the past month, 1,50,224 of which
has been sent via Suez, and the remainder round the
Cape. The amount advanced by the export warehouse
since Ist of May in goods under hypothecation is
7

89,645 rupees.
Our last report left freights at 4/. to 4/. ss. for sugar
London. In the subsequent week an influx of ship-
ping caused a decline to 31. 15s. to 4L The week after
that they regained what they had lost and stood at
41. 55., and with trifling fluctuations they continued about
that figure until yesterday, when an increased demand
for tonnage for rice raised them to 41. 10s. to 4/. 12s. 6d

for that article, 41. 103.. for sugar, and 4/. ss. for saltpetre-
Indigo—We have no tram.,actieus to r, port since
our last issue, but a continuance of the most propi-
tious weather for the unbounded progre es of vegeta-
tion, with daily short mild showers and bright sunshine
to follow. This, for during the last two and this
month prevailing rainy season, almost unexampled
state of weather, seems by all accounts to have favoured
most of the indigo districts, and under as beneficial
influence the principal portion of the crop has been
brought to a rapid greatly-improved maturity. Menu-
facairing is by this time a nearly established fact in the
generality of leading concerns, and the latest returns based
upon this, with the probable proportionate results of the
smaller factories, including native cultivation, introduce
the increased estimate of the total out turn to about
1,20,000 to 1,25,000 mounds. If, with a continuance of
the present weather to the end of the month, which how-
ever, can hardly be expected, the yet outstanding portion
of the plant affords a similar yield to that blained up
to the present, and the. rumours about preparations
for second cuttings bung in progress iu Lower
I ngul, are u i rovud n practice, the crop may be in-
creased by a furthe.r 1()000 in:ler/Is.

I--- ---
A correspondent in this island writes as follows,
under date the 21st of September :—"There is an
almost utter impossibility of realising produce of
any kind. The whole islaup is downright beg-
gared, and I see no prospect of improvement.
The planters are becoming poorer every day,
and consequently there is little or no money cir-
culating among the labourers. Numbers of estates
are out of cultivation. The Commissioners of Public
Accounts have been signing and issuing the New
Island cheques as fast as they can, and I suppose the
whole .50,0001. will soon be afloat. I should not be at
all suprised ere long to see silver at a premium in
consequence. The Planter's Bank Relief Bill bas been
lost in the House of Assembly, and I understand that
the shareholders, at their meeting, a few days past,
determined on winding up the affairs of the Bank.
There can be very little doubt of their being ulti-
mately great losers, for a large amount of the assets
consist of sums due by planters ; few of whom I fear
will be able to pay up. Any one walking along
Port Royal-street now would almost fancy it was
deserted, particularly at the west-end, where in three
squares nearly two out of every three stores are
closed. Last week another of the large foreign dry
goods houses closed its business. The foreign trade
is again very slack, but I think there will be another
spirt of it towards the close of the year.
"During the past fortnight we have had some fine
heavy showers in Kingston and the neighbouring
pari►hes, and from present appearances I think we
shall get our October seasons.

" His Excellency Sir Charles Grey has almost en-
tirely recovered from his late accident, and ku
allowed the House of Assembly to adjourn till the
24th of October next.

"In Hayti all is perfectly tranquil, and business
improving. The President, Soulougue, appears to
have adopted a different policy, which has restored
confidence and security among the population, a happy
termination of the worst fears which the latter had
entertained on the approach of the President to Port-
au-Prince."

MODENA.
Letters from Modena, of the 15th, state that on
that day a revolutionary placard was posted
at a column of the portico of the public square,
calling upon the Modenese to rise against the
Austrians, and drive awayi the Duke The Mode-
nese soldiers and the Croatians in vain attempted
ieveral times to tear cff the paper ; the crowd
that kept constantly surrounding it during the
whole of the day prevented them with menaces ;
so that at last an orderly was sent to the com-
mandant of the fortress to inform him of the
fact. The account was probably exaggerated;
for the commandant ordered a signal gun to be
fired to call together his troops, who immediately
hastened to their arms. But the population, on see-
ing this, also dispersed with the cry of " To arms !
to arms !" and re-assembled in a menacing attitude,
when Commandant Puffer appeared, explaining that
the gun had not been fired with a hostile intention,
and that his troops had received orders to retire.
Tranquillity was immediately restored.
