CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL INTELLIGEN'

(From the Bengal Hurkaru, July 12, 1851.) of
We have no further news from home since our 10,1
report. The markets generally, both for exports 01:1'
imports, remain much the same as last week. at
In exports a fair business has been in progress
slightly lower rates. There have been no further chile
meuts of indigo. Of sugar an average extent of sh`r
ments is in progress, the Bazaar being pretty well sup
' plied with desirable kinds, which have been obtains!'"
on somewhat easier terms. There has been less doing
in raw silk since the mail of the 24th May came 1131
and holders would, no doubt, be willing to accept,rir
duced prices. Corabs have not been is much inonl
and shipments so far this month have again been snie
Transactions in saltpetre to all quarters have been on a
limited scale. Rice shipments to Great Britain an
France continue on a trifling scale, and there is 00,
131,
a moderate amount of business in progress for tor
Mauritius, while nothing whatever has been done Ai
Bourbon. Shipments of shell lac have been made
more freedom to Great Britain ; but there ;
:,othing doing for the United States, nedip
mere trifle for France. The demand and suPt',l,
, in respect to hick dye continue much on a level, b". 6
tseing moderate to all quarters. There has been Pt
p disposition to ship hides, and the export is falling off
present. In linseed au extensive business has been a
progress to Great Britain; and a lair amount has pass
the Custom• house fur the States. Shipments of i„,
rtoi,itte
have been very moderate. Cutch is going forwsru,
a fair extent. Castor oil is not in much request,
though a tolerable quantity has been passed for 81311;
went. Transactions in &Ed iwer have so tar this mon
oeen confined to Great Britain, and are on a moderate
pi!
scale. In mustard seed there is a quiet business !!
on. There is nothing doing in cotton to Great BrititTs
Of rum about 3,500 gallons have been passed for GI"
Britain.
The eighth opium sale of the season took place on the,
7th inst., when prices went higher, the result being
iollows
Chests. Highest. Lowest. Average. Proceed~
Behar 1,980 965 950 954 0-2 18,88,va,,
Benares 890 915 905 910-8-1 8,10,3
Showing an advance on the averages of the seventh ;
of rd. 14-2 3 for Behar and rs. 10-8-1 for Benares. " ,
have no later news from China, and since the sale priel7
in the bazaar have fluctuated considerably, yesterday!
quotations being—Patna, rs. 890 to 892; Benares, 93°
to 940 per chest.
In our Money Market there is not much change'
Rates of interest and discount at the Bank of Bengal re-
main unaltered, which of itself; of course, tends to dearnes'
in other quarters. Bengal shares are in good request 06
last quotations, namely, Co.'s rs. 2,275 to 2,300 Pre.
mitre). Dividends at the rate of 12 per cent. per anon°
tor the ha!f-yeiir ending 30th Juue in course of payment/
In Agra and other bank shares we have heard of Os
transactions. Government Securities remain at ah°°
previous value. Transfer Five per Cent. Stock paper /
to 7-8 premium. New Company's Fives 3-8 to 3.10 Pr"
rnium. • New Fours 9 to 9 8 discount.
Exchange has continued to decline ever since the d°:
parture of the steamer, and there has been very little a--
cavity in the market for bills. Present quotations area
let class credits, 2s. Oil. to 2s. ld. per rupee; ditto do-
cuments, 2s ld. to 2s. li-d.
There is no change for the better regarding Our lea;
port market; indeed many goods are even lower in 101%
and less saleable than before. Sales, however, continue
to keep pace pretty well with our large supplies, so th,5,"
considering the amount of the latter, there will proballi
at the end of the season, be no considerable stocks
the principle staples. Gray shirtings are quite as 100.
in value as before, and almost all sorts are freely .0
„rs
plied. Common 40 inch 6 lb. are still quoted o°4;
R. 3-6-0 to 3-8.0, while 7lb cloth is only worth about 41.
per cent. piece. 64 to 72 reeds are all selling at O
stilt
the bare Manchester cost. Low 45-inch are
..
asked for; and this width in all qualities is doing
ix'.
trifle better perhaps than narrow goods. 54-rote
are still without demand, but the season when tuv"
are usually in best demand is now approachieP
Bleached goods of all descriptions are very
in value. Common white shirtings have sold at y. 0.!
rs. 3-4-0. Low white twills at Co.'s rs. 4-14.0.
.1441.
a
white jacconets at Co.'s rs. 1-5.0 to 1 8.0 periece, 11‘;".
so on. Gray jacconets also, especially 40-inch
have sold very cheap indeed, but not without diffied"l
for there are no eager buyers to be found. The demand
for the upper provinces continues of the moat langatl o
and unsatisfactory nature, and without pressing sales
some extent business cannot be done. Prints and corn'
moo chintzes have sold largely at miserable Price:.
First-rate turkey red goads, however, are light
stock, and there is some inquiry at about 6 annas ref
yard.
GlAgiow fabrics are dull of demand, and low in value
all round without excepLitin. Mulls, books, and laPPet°
catinat be sold unless at exceedingly cheap rates. ,
Mule twist remains much the same as on the del*:
lure of the steamer. There has been a fair but net --
lively d, mand, and sales have not been heavy. Turtle): .
red yarn is dull of sale, common sorts and inferior dr
particularly so; orange and green are only in moderate
quest.
In metals there is nothing of importance to notes
Copper is scarcely so valuable. Iron is about as IoW
before. Spelter is very quit at a nominal value of C(l4
Rs. 6-8-0. per fy. md. Tin plates are heavy in Wets
but very light in value. Altogether the sales of meta
are swell.
Freights are rather lower in some instances; present
quotations being to London:—Sugar, 3/. 10s.; saltpetre'
3/. 513. to 3/. 75. 6d.; rice nominal; oilseeds, 1/. 55.; Bides,
44 jute, 3L Bs.
Induo Las been without any public sales, and Aber
have teen no shipments since our last. Accounts fro
the factory districts continue various, but upon
whole a trifle more favourable than was anticipated*e
the eqd of May.

IPSWICH LAMB FAlR.—This great annual fair via,
held on Friday, Saturday, and Monday last, at francif°,r,..
hall, as usual, and was attended by the principal agricullat
rusts and dealers of the adjoining counties. On Friday ab°
38,000 sheep and lambs came to pen, generally in good O -
ld_
dition, and of full average quality. Upon the wh°le'eav
though business proceeded slowly, satisfactory prices b„,t
been realised, and fully the accustomed business of the ''',;o
;d
thy has transpired. The supply of sheep certainly excee.
that of lambs. In the beast field a large show of shorflor
and Devon store bullocks have been exhibited, with but,sA
slow demand, at from 2s. 9d. to 3s. per atone, estirnetv—
