CODIDIERCIAL.

Since our last, there has been nothßinOgMdßoiAnl'injutNhEe mar-
ket, but we notice a speculative demand for topper in sheets
and tiles; holders, however, are firm, and 48:y rs. per cwt.
has been offered and refused for the latter. 4
Dyed Yarn—Orange has improved, and we hear an offer
of 1114 annas per lb. for No. 40 hat been refused. Turkey
red continues as before.
Freight—Rather scarce. 21. 12s. 6d. to 2/. 15s. for Liver-
pool, 31. for London and the Clyde, and to China 9 rs. per
candy, are the rates of the d< y.
Exchange appears higher, owing to a supply of bills from
Calcutta and China, but we have heard of no transactions.
On China the rate is rs. 207. Specie to a large amount has
been shipped to Calcutta per Mor and Amherst ; and since
the mail arrived, Company's drafts at 60 days' sight have
been sold at rs. 101% to 101%.
Cotton—The market continues steady as before, and we
have heard of the following purchases :-400 bales Broach
and Jumbooser, at 82 rs' • 1,000 at 81i ; 1,000 Surat at 83.
The latter description ;his year has been of better quality,
and has commanded throughout the season a few rupees
more than the former.

The commercial intelligence brought by the steamer ar-
rived on the morning of the 21st instant, is less encouraging
than the preceding packet indicated; but, pending the fate
of the important Government measures before Parliament,
permanent improvement can hardly be expected. The worst
feature seems to be a prevailing doubt as to the future course
of the money market, which a large failure in the Levant
trade, with other causes, had somewhat disturbed.

REPORT ON THE HOME MARKETS.
The commercial accounts brought by the last mail are by no
means of so favourable a character as were expected. An
uneasy feeling had again appeared in the money market,
consequent upon the occurrence of several tailures in London,
together with the uncertainty of the effect upon the conti-
nental exchanges of the heavy importations of wheat (of
which there are said to be two millions of quarters already
in bond) expected when the new Corn Bill becomes law, and
also the apprehension of the consequences of so many more
railway Bills than were expected having been permitted to
pats the House of Commons. The prospects of the harvest,
however, continued favourable, and the consumption of
nearly every article of produce was proceeding satisfac-
torily, while stocks were generally less than at the same
period of last year.
Metals—ln manufactured iron no change has occurred,
except that prices were reported firmer, consequent on the
turn out of the workmen in Staffordshire and Shropshire;
and the rise in Scotch pig, which had been sold in consider-
able quantity free on board at Glasgow at 70s. a 725. 6d.
Bar was becoming scarce, but no advance of price has been
obtained. Swedish iron and steel were both dull of sale, but
without change in price; while tin plates, lead, and spelter,
were all ratht r cheaper. Copper as before.
The following are the exports of iron to this port from
the United Kingdom during the last three years to the 1s
of May.

Cotton Piece Goods.—The Manchester market remained
generally in the same inanimate state as when the previous
mail left, no change in prices worth notice having occurred
except i❑ 40 inch G. E. Longcloths 72 reed, which had
been sold at an advance of 3d. per piece. The shipments
of grey and white piece goods from Liverpool contipued
moderate, while those of coloured had fallen off more than
oue ball as compared with 1845.
Cotton Yarns were very firm ; indeed some spinners were
demanding an advance in proportion to the rise in cotton, but
we believe in scarcely any instance was it paid.
