able shim among the Bat fans, who increase the evil by
rushing ahout the triz:ar!?, and pressing the dealers
severely for iturarcitate payment. Some of the principal
importing houses are on the reserve with respect to sales
and deliveries. It is to no hoped that the loose system
ef credit, which has ohtkined so •universally will now
be checked cad btr:i.usirs placed upon a more. safe
end legilimate footing. The consequence of the present
state of affairs has been rtimost a t,caparary suspension
of business, arids s:rious toning cff in deliveries as re-

The deliveris of metals have been en the usual mode.
rate scale which has obtained of late, with, if anything.
a very stifling improvement in copper. No sales of
spelter aro reported. For particulars we rerer to our do
tailed report below.
The unfortunate occurrences referred to in the bazaar
have had the effect of sending up exchanges by checking
colleetioos and suspending the delivery of goods. .It was
expcted that the large loss of bilia by the Pacha (about
five lees) and the reserve observed by exporters of
country produce would have improved rates; but these
iaflueaces have been more than counteracted by the
disturbed state of the import mai kct, and rates have
crept up to 2-1 to 21, with few buyers, and thoSe few
on the reserve.
Freights have receded 5.0 to 7-6 per ton,closing again
stiffer.
Our money market continues unaltered in bank rates,
but the failures among the piece goods dealers have
caused much uneasiness and some pressure in the bazaar.
Government securities have slightly declined, and in
shares hardly any bUsiness has teen transacted.
Indigo, slice last mail, has remained without any
transaction, and the reports from the manufacturing dis-
tricta continued as varied as ever—in some instances less
satisfactory than before; a leading and not unimportant
feature in that direction being the excessive heavy fall
of rain reported from Agra, which has already done
much injury to the young plant, thereby materially
altering previous prospects of the out-turn in the Doab,
and leaving little room for the but lately entertained
hope that its production would be considerably in excess
of that of the previous season. Under these circum-
stuces we incline to the opinion that a more than rea-
sonably to be expected combination of future most fa-
vourable influrmces- will •ba required to produce a total
crop of 100,000 ind.s.
BOMBAY MARKETS.
FROM THE 26TH OF JULY TO THE 30TH OF AUGUST
INCLUSIVE.
(From the Bombay Times.)

The money market continues- most Plentifully sup,
plied—in feet cash has become quite a drug, and since
• we last wrote the banks have lowered their rates another
. 1 per cent. Governieent tccurities are somewhat lower,
owing to !peculators having been in the market as sellere.
The following may be caged current rates.—Tranefor
stock, 1151 nominal five per cent. Siecca paper, 107 i;
four per cent. Sicca paper, 96; four per cent. Company's
paper, 91 ; five per cent. Company's paper, 104 to
1041. Bank shares have been in some demand, and the
rates of the day are bank of Bombay, 23 per cent. pre-
mium ; Oriental Bank, 7 per cent. discount ; Commer-
cial Bank, 11 per cent, discount ; Agra Bank, par.
Since our last report the London mails of the 7th and
24th ult. reached Bombay respectively on the Ist and
23d inst ; and the following vessels from the west have
reached us, viz :—from London, the Trafalgar and Ra-
jasthan ; from Liverpool, Dorcas, Rajah, China, Baron
of Renfrew, Templar, Nish, and John Bull ; and from
the Clyde, Ontario, and Allerton.
In imports a large business has been done, supplies
having arrived in quantity and been offered freely. On
tae other hand transactions in exports have been limited;
in cotton, however, our chief staple, more has been
doing latterly, shippers to China having been induced
to come forward in coneequence of a fall in prices.
Money is abundant, and may be had at slow rate on ap-
proved security.
Cotten Piece Goods—The business done is these has
been large and pretty general. A decline in price has
been occasioned iu etmost all descriptions by the
liberal way in which the geois have been of-
fered. Prices have for the last few days been most
fluctuating, the large arrivals and anxiety to rea-
lize displayed on see part of importers -having alarmed
the dealers, there being no outlet for goods yet,
and the bazaar quite gorged, so that at present the
market is dull and depressed in consequence of the dis-
inclination shown to continue purchasing. As the mon-
soon has been most favourable throughout the whole of
Western India, large quantities of goods will doubtless
be consumed, more especially at the low prices which are
now current; we, therefore, have some encouragement to
look forward to renewed demand, but the large supply
now in tee market forbids us to expect any improvement
in price.
Lire), skirtings-40 and 45 inch of all qualities we
quote something lower than in our last. The sales of all
kinds reported are 35,550 pieces.
Maelapollarns have likewise declined is price 1 to 2
annas per piece, and have been taken largely, but are now
unasked for. Sales, 58,000 pieces.
Jacconeta have also been disposed of to the extent of
39,000 pieces, and have declined in price.
T cloths, up to 61b., are in great quantity, and have
fallen 2 annas a piece, but heavier qualities are quoted
as in our last.

Lorgcloths and domestics—The season not yet having
opened, these goods have been very little asked for; fur
the longclotha there has been some little inquiry at a de-
cline of 2 annas per piece.
Bleached Goods—Skirtings and madapollams are
hardly asked for, nor are jacoonets, except the medium
qualities which are in request. Twill has not yet met
with any demand. Satin spots are inquired after, as
are also jacconet checks. Sales quoted are 35,000
pieces of madapollams, 10,000 pieces of jacconets, 2,500
pieces cf twills, and 8,600 pieces of satin spots.
Fancy Goods—Some descriptions are inquired after,
such as fine bld. mulls, low lappets, fancy border dhoties,
and lappet scarfs; while Swiss lappets and book muslins
are not in request.
Plain twill cloths and dyed turkey red are still dull
without change in price; mull; however, meet with some
inquiry.

Cotton Yarn—Prices have undergone little change.
Both mule and water have met with large sales. The
only decline we observe in mule is in 303, 60s, and 80e,
while 40s, 903, and 100 have risen in price. Water ad•
vanced a little n price, the stock having become light,
but in consequence of recent importations it has again
declined. 3Us and 40s have likewise fallen in price
in consequence of recent arrivals. Dyed orange
continues without improvement, but meets with a fair
demand. Turkey red of good quality meets with more
lug uiry, and is looking up, but
low is still dull of sale.
business which has been transacted in
these has been large in nearly all descriptions, with a
general rise in prices, with the exception of iron hoops,
faggot steel, and South American copper, which continue
at the quotations entered is nor last.
Woollens--.;}'e have nothing to report in these, as the
season for these goods has not yet opened. We hear of
a few sales of flannel, bat the 4rticlo is very dull.
Cochineal—The market for this article is still much
depressed. Our quotations are one anna lower than be-
fore. We have heard of no sales.
Beer—A very limited inquiry prevails, and sales of
Allacpp'e and Bass's are it small quantities only at our
last quotations. Oi the inierior brands about 250 hhds.
appear to have sold at 30r. per land.
tbpirits—The demand fcr brandy in wood still con-
inues, but gin and other spirits both in wood and bottle
are very dull.
Marine Stores—Canvas,
both bleached and unbleached,
has met with a greater demand than has existed for
some months Past, and has slightly risen in price.
Paint and linseed oil moderately asked for. Cordage in
request. Ss ewing twine dull, Spirits of turpentine very
dull.— Sale.
Sundries—The only sales which we have to report
are :

Cotton Wool—The •
market has been very dull through-
out the month until within the last few days, with a ten-
dency to depression in value, but no evident decline in
prices had taken place until the arrival of the overland
mail of the 24th of July. Prices, however, immediately
receded, an the accounts received by that opportunity
becoming known; they have now fallen from 6 re. to 12
re. per candy, according to quality. This fall in prices
induced a number of native purchasers to come forward
for the China market, whither a considerable quantity is
now being sent in addition on importers' account. There
appears to be nothing whatever doing for England—the
purchases reported are all for China. Fresh supplies from
the north are now coming in several boats have arrived
here to-day. A further fall in prices may pretty cer-
tainly be expected when the season fairly opens.
Opium—Up to the arrival of the last mail from China
the excitement mentioned in our last report continued to
exist, and 1,225 r. at 1,250 r. for the best, and 1,200 r.
was given, and at these high prices the Sir Herbert
Compton for Woosung, end the Pekin for Hong-Kong,
took about 1,650 chests. Bat upon the advices by last
China mail reaching us, which brought unsatisfactory
account of the market in Woosung, consequent upon the
failure of several native bankers interested in drug pay-
ments, prices immediately fell, and have continued to de-
cline, the quotations of to-day being nominally 1,135 r.
per chest.

BEHNES' STATUE 05' THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL.
—The model for the colossal statue of the late illustrious
statesman, intended to adorn the town of Leeds, is now com-
pleted, and is calculated fully to sustain the high reputation
of the artist as one of the first sculptors of the age. The
position selected is that familiar to the public, when Sir
Robert is supposed to be addressing the House of Commons,
and exhibits a dignified simplicity combined with an easy
grace and elegance, for which the original was peculiarly
distinguished. As a work of art, it perhaps surpasses any
previous production from the studio of the same sculptor.
Nothwithstanding its large dimensions, it is in every respect
litedike and true to nature. But the artist has had to
labour under one disadvantage, and that is by the necessity
of an adherence to modern costume, which renders stiffness
to some extent unavoidable. The model is to be cast in
bronze, and when elevated on a suitable pedestal will have
a fine and imposing efact. Mr. Behnes is also to be en-
trusted with the important task of executing the statue of
Sir Robert intended to be erected in the City.
