Our markets, and business generally have been even worse than
they were a week since, the scarcity of money and difficulty of ob-
taining accommodation appearing to increase. Exchange is steady
at about 2s. I%cl.
Indigo—Accounts from the Mofussil during the past week are
generally favourable. In Kishnagur there had been more rain, and
sowings must by this time be nearly completed. Jessore and the
districts to the eastward continue to prowls° well. From Purneah
there are accounts of rather too much rain, but the neighbouring
district of Rhagulpore is still without a sufficient supply, any that
has fallen there having been very partial. In Tirhoot this has also
been generally the case.
Sugar—The arrival of Benares during the week have been more
extensive, and dealers being somewhat anxious sellers have sub-
mitted to reduced rates. At this decline, which may be quoted fully
8 annas per Ind., a fair business has been done. We quote Ist quality
Co.'s rs. 10-4 to 10-12 per md. In the other descriptions of sugar,
some decline has also taken place, and transactions to a moderate
extent have been effelted. Khaur is also rather lower, Bombay
having been sold from Co.'s rs. 4-14 to Co.'s re. 5 per md.
Raw Silk—ln this staple nothing has been done, the news by last
mail having put a stop to all operations. Until more care is bestowed
by the natives upon its preparation, it appears scarcely possible that
the article can bear the competition of the increased supplies from
China in the home market.
Silk Piece Goods—Corahs are also nearly quite neglected, only ono
sale being reported at Co.'s rs. 108 per corge. A small parcel of
Choppahs has realised Co.'s rs. 105 per corge.
Saltpetre—There has been rather a better inquiry for saltpetre,
chiefly from America, and a fair amount of sales has been made.
Cimprah Co.'s rs. 5-8 a 5-12, refined Co.'s rs. 7 per md.
Rice—There Is no change to report in the value of this article, and
for England nothing is doing. Sales for Mauritius have also been
very limited.
In the minor articles of import there is little change. In Shell Lac
nothing has been done. Of Lac Dye, a sale of Mirzapore at Co.'s rs.
26-8 is reported. Jute continues in fair demand, and Linseed is being
purchased largely for America, without change in prices, viz., Co.'s
rs. 2-4 to 2-0 per md. In mustard seed a fe A' sales have been made
at rather lower rates. Co.'s rs. 1.12 a 1-14 per md. Safflower has
been sold to a moderate extent, at Co.'s rs. 25 to 25-8.
Cotton—A moderate business is doing in this article, the best qua-
Nies realising* 11 to 11-12 Sicca rupees per md., the Bombay Castle
having on board 3,400 bales ; nearly 13,000 rads. were burnt in
Saugur Roads on Thursday. The shipments by the Lanercost are
1,325 bales and 150 half bales, and by the Antelope 100 bales.
Opium—A further decline has taken place in the value of the drug,
there being no buyers, and prices have come down. The Antelope
and Lanercost left on the 28th instant, the former with 800 and the
latter 220 chests.
Freights—ln the rates of homeward freightage there is little change,
and our quotations remain unaltered.
IMPORTS.

Cotton Piece Goods—The dulness Wthis part of our Import trade
remains unchanged, and sales have been almost exclusively for local
consumption. A few lots of shirtings both grey and white have been
sold at former rates. White jaconcts continue inquired for. Grey
have been realised at extremely low prices, 1-2 to 1-7 Co.'s rs. per
piece. In all the lighter and fancy fabrics scarcely anything has
been done, and with few exceptions none can be realised without loss
to the importer even with the present high exchange.
Mule Twist—There has been rather a better inquiry during the
week, and a fair amount of sales have been made of all numbers,
but in consequence of rather heavy arrivals the market is again dull.
Coloured Twist—Turkey red German dye has been sold at 1-8
Co.'s rs. per lb., and Orange at 11 annas per lb.
Metalx—Demand for copper is very languid, and the few sales
made are at a considerable decline upon the late nominal value.
Tile has been sold at 31-4 Sa. rs., and sheathing 34-8 Co.'s rs. Old
is wanted for local Purposes at 34-4 to 34-6 Co.'s rs. per fy. md. There
has been some inquiry for speller, but at lower rates, and about 3,500
mds. have been sold at 10-2 to 10-4 Co.'s rs. per md.
The only reported transaction in iron is a small parcel of hoop at
4 4 Co.'s rs. per md.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH.—Thursday afternoon, an inquest
was held before Mr. W. Baker, jun., at the London Hos-
pital, on the body of George Bedford, aged fifty-eight, of
17, Cornwall-street, St. George in-the-East. Charlotte Bed-
ford, the wife of the deceased, stated that on last Monday
week her husband came home and complained of having
fallen down in the street and bruising his right arm and fore-
head. His arm continued to get worse, and on Monday last
he was conveyed to the hospital. Mr. Wordsworth, one of
the house surgeons, examined the deceased, .and found that
he had received a severe contused wound over the right eye,
and his arm was very much inflamed, which was quite suffi-
cient to have caused death. The deceased lingered until the
following day, when he expired. The jury then returned an
open verdict, " That the deceased died from a contused wound
over the right eye, but how it was produced there is not
sufficient evidence before the jury."
I:ADVERTISEMENT.] —DRAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE
VISION RELIEVED, No. 39, ALBERSIABLE-STEEEY, PICCADILLY.
—Sent into the country free, by post.—Newly invented
acoustic tubes, for relief of extreme deafness, and when
inserted. n the ear cannot be perceived by the nearest observer—
they are entirely different from all others, and are the smallest hear-
ing instruments constructed—measuring only a quarter of an inch in
their widest part ; they may be securely adjusted in the ears unob-
served, and removed therefrom with as great ease and facility. Per-
sons are enabled to join in general conversation, and to hear most
distinctly in a place of worship, &c., and what 2hould be greatly
considered, a natural expansion of the cavity o Ithe ear is preserved
—a thickening or contraction of which in many instances is par-
tially the cause of deafness—and by their use the unpleasant sen-
sation of singing noises in the ears is entirely obviated. Also im-
proved hearing trumpets of every description. Immediately the
newly-invented spectacle lenses are placed before imperfect vision,
either by day or candlelight, that mist and dullness which appear
before the eyes is at once removed, every object becomes clear and
distinct, so that the most aged defective sight becomes bright and
brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state.
Also the most powerful achromatic telescopes, opera glasses, and
microscopes. Caution—Messrs. S. and B. Solomon, opticians, are
not in any way connected with a person of the same name In their
immediate neighbourhood, nor in any part of the country. To prevent
mistakes, be cautious, and observe—only to bo bad 439, Albemarle-
street Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.
