is also less than in the previous week. The rates paid

cwt. Bengal and Vlauritius are wanted at Ils, but the

tion. The rites paid fur Jamaica Honey are from 36s

bags Plantation Ceylon a small portion only found pur-

CALCUTTA MARKETS.
CALCUTTA, SEPT. 20,—The Bombay Overland Ex.
press„ with London dates to the 7th August, arrived on
the 11th instant, and the general dispatch the next day.
The accounts of the produce of the country being, with
the exception of indigo, but little satisfactory. Our ex-
port market has since our last issue not displayed any
more cheering tendencies, the former apathy still exist-
ing, and keeping business within narrow bounds, without
leading to any marked decline in prices of leading staples,
the present stocks of which are moderate, which enables
holders to maintain a firmer position than prevailing
circumstances, and the unsettled state of exchange,
coupled with that of trade, would seem to warrant.
We regret that it is not in our power to alter the de-
sponding tone of our remarks upon our import market.
On the contrary, the gloom has rather increased during
the fortnight which has elapsed since the date of our last
report, and the disinclination to do business has been
enhanced by the near approach of the Doorga Pooja
holidays, which commence on the 29th instant, and
are expected to continue for fourteen days.
Credit in the bazaar remains in a most un-
satisfactory state, and several more native failures
have been reported. No amendment can take
place in the position of the piece goods branch of the
import trade, until the amount of exports from house is
more assimilated to that of our consumption. So long
as nearly two pieces of cloth (as has been the ease in
many fabrics during the past twelve months) are imported
for every one consumer, no other result can be expected
than heavy losses to all concerned. In addition to the
unfortunate consequences attending an over-glutted
merket, the demand is likely to be curtailed this season,
owing to the shortness of the grain crops in various
parts of the country. A novel feature in the trade
is, the export of considerable quantities of piece
goods by some European houses to the principal
up-country marts. As might be expected, the busi-
ness transacted in cotton goods has been very
limited. With the exception ofjaconets and book muslins
the deliveries have been very small. Mule twist has
been sold to a fair extent, but latterly it has given way
in value to the extent of 1 to 2 pies per morah—the
greatest fall being on the medium qualities. Turkey red
yarn is saleable, but at a low figure, the best German
being quoted at 1-4 per lb. Copper is totally neglected,
and iron remains very dull; 6,300 mds. spelter is re-
ported as having been placed at Ct. Rs. 5-15 to 6-2 per
md., and 2,200 mds. Pig lead at 5.4 to 5-9.
Indigo—Nothing has been done in this dye since our
last. The reports from most indigo producing dis-
tricts dwell upon the wonderful, almost unprecedented,
beneficial effects imparted by a continuance of the
finest weather, to growing and manufacturing progress,
and former estimates aro consequently increased to a
surprising extent. The receding of the rivers atter the
latter part of August in Jessore, has enabled planters
to get in the larger portion of the young plant, which
was at one time looked upon as almost hopeless, and
improved the prospects of that district beyond every
expectation. Tirhoot has had an extraordinary yield
from the second cuttings, and confident hopes are
entertained for an outturn of 24,000 mds. from that Zil-
lah. linisnnaghur and Burdwan have experienced si-
milar benefits, and their production will mach exceed
that of the previous season. In most other parts increase
to a more or less extent, partially arising from some
concerns obtaining second cuttings, is reported ; but
from the north-western provinces we are as yet without
accounts of the same tendency. Under the supposi-
tion that at this late period no violent mishap can hap-
pen to the crop, the raised estimates point to a total
outturn of 115,000 mds., which may be extended to
120,000 mds. should prospects in the Doab and Benares
improve.
Sugar—The demand, though far from active, has
taken off a fair amount, without alteration in prices, ex-
cept for the lower kinds of whitish Benares, which be-
came available at a further reduction of 2 annas. Re-
ported transactions since our last are 8,900 Benares, fair
Ist 7-12 to 7-14; 2ed, 7-5 to 7.9; 3rd, 6-14 to 7.2, low
6.6 to 6.12; 500 bags Dumma, yellow 6to 6-2. Vise.
pan sorts have given way 4 to 6 annas, and the sales ut
these comprise, Cosidpore 1,000 bags yellows at 7-12,
500 bags ditto 7-5, 425 bags ditto 7-6, 500 bags ditto
7-7; Ballykal 293 bags yellows 7-5, 275 bags ditto 6 8.
Saltpetre—The inquiry for home shipment has not
been maintained to any extent, but it has continued for
the North American markets, but the want of choice in
suitable qualities has limited operations. Reported tran-
sactions comprising 300 bags refined 6-14 to 7.0; 600
bags Allygunge 6.6 to 6 10; 227 bags Mirzapore 5-4;
850 bags Chupra 5 4 to 5-9.
Safflower is in demand for the better qualities, but
that demand remains unsatisfied, only low middling and
ordinary, much broken dusty and mixed offering, of
which 100 mds. Paneer at 15 to 17 re.; 30 mds. Bhar-
row at 13-0; 40 mds. Bellasore at 10-4 have been dis-
posed of. Exports:—to Great Britain, 1,448 mds.; to
France, 158 mids.
Rice—Without inquiry for the table sort, the value of
which is unaltered, but transactions in Ballam and
Moongby continue extensive at well supported prices.
Exports to Great Britain, 5,751 mds.; France, 1,000
mds.; Mauritius, 72,046 mds.; Bourbon, 61,154.
Raw Silk—A general demand has continued, but on
the score of a rather stiffer exchange, buyers reserved
their offers for a slight concession, which has within the
last few days been accorded, encouraging more extended
business. The transactions by private contract com-
prise 32 mids. D and Co. Furreedpore rainy bund, 10-6;

Britain, 1,616 mds.
Silk Piece Goods—Within the last week a rather
general active demand for Corabs prevailed, and the
consequent competition acting upon a moderate stock,
prices quickly rose 3 to 4 Rs. per corge, at which
i.2lim-

Shell Lac and Lac Dye—The demand for the former
has been but moderate, at previous prices, and the busi-
ness in lac dye has been unimportant, and almost exclu-
sively for American account. Reported sales.-14 boxes
Beerbhoom shell lac, at 9-10 per md.; 95 boxes ditto,

Hides in fair request, at easy previous prices. Ex-
ports—To Great Britain, 99,729 pieces; North America,

Jute—The demand has been encouraged by the very
moderate freights accepted by American ships, and,
though enlarged business h 1 • rora this cause resulted,
