easier rates, yet dealers operate with reluctance, and

there has been a decided reduction of Id to lid
per lb. The market has a dull aspect for scented
and Pekoe sorts, and prices are yet on the decline.

sold at &id to Sid for mid and good mid. Pepper is not
offering at a further decline, and the supply is limited: the
private transactions, however, are small fur all purposes;
Malabar at 34d to 34d; Batavia and Penang 3ilfcl to 31d;
clean Sumatra* per lb. Only 24 bags have been offered at
auction. White is, however, wanted at the previous value,

general active demand for Corahs prevailed, and the

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 has from this cause resulted,
prices have not improved. Reported sales:-1,400 bales,
at 9.0 per bale; 200 mds., at 1-9 per aid.; 1,000 web., at

aid.; 300 bags do at 3-13; 200 bags do at 3-12. Exports

being for Pains, 1,042 to 1,045. Bemires, 905 to 910,

Imports-British Cotton Piece Goods-Grey Shirt-
ings-The market has remained very dull since the date
of our last report, and the transactions in grey shirt-
ings, as well as in nearly every article of cotton manu-
facture, has been comparatively very small. Imports in
August, 187,950 pieces.
White Shirtings have been placed to much about the
same limited extent as in the previous fortnight. Im-
ports in August: 40,653 pieces.

has occurred in the deliveries of these goods. Imports in
August, 12,899 pieces.

white description of cambrics, which have been sold to a
very limited extent. Imports in August-Grey, 631
pieces; white, 5,307.
Twills are totally neglected, and withont report of
sale. Imports, in August; Grey, 2,416 pieces; white,
2,350.

is neglected, and the grey can only bo placed to a very
limited extent. Imports iu August-Grey, 89,135
pieces; white, 5,700.
Jaconets-Those goods form an exception to the gene-
ral neglect with which almost all other description of
cotton piece goods are treated, and sales in them have
been made to a fair extent. Imports in August-Grey,
153,636 pieces; white, 131,451.
Lappets-The demand for lappets remains extremely
dull. Imports in August, 53,151 pieces.

eideriog the state of the market. Imports iu August,

h ct. Imports in August: grey, 20,749 pieces; white,
57,032.

same extent as in the previous fortnight, but the inquiry
for cloths has fallen off very considerably. Importers

goods has been very small. Imports in August, 63,055

per moral, the greatest fall being on the medium quali-
ties; imports in August, 1,081,743 lbs.
Coloured Yarns-Turkey Red Yarn is depressed in
value, the best German being quoted at 1-4. The place-
ments, however, are going on to a fair extent. Imports
in August :- Turkey Red, 166,7351b5.; Orange,
10,6251b5.; Green, 32,2001b5.
Copper-The market for this metal remains extremely
dull, and the sales have been insignificant.
Iron has been also much neglected, and no important
sales have been reported.
Freights-Owing to the extremely dull state of the
export trade, very little freight is offering, and rates
have, consequently, fallen from our last quotations.
Exchange remains much as it was at the date of our
last report, credit bills being quoted at 2 11- to 2-111, and
document bills at 2. to 2.4. The business transacted
has been chiefly on Bombay account, where rates are
lower.
Freights have given way 5.0 per ton, and rough goods
have in moderate quantities been taken at a greater con-
cession in American bottoms.
