EXPORTS.

Cotton Wool—The unal.vourable account from home
by the last mail has had the effect of lowering rates
lr. to 2r. per candy. Our market, however, during the
past fortnight has shown marked symptoms of increased
demand, and a fair business has been done. Sales:— ,

CALCUTTA MARKETS.
(From the Calcutta Overland Price Current.)
The arrival of the March steamer has, on our going
to press, not yet been announced, but the event is hourly
expected. Since our last issue the export market has
continued much in the same tendency as then reported,
a fair amount of business going without that degree of
spirit which generally prevails when operations are based
upon a satisfactory margin on the cost in proportion to
home value. In this latter direction no amelioration has
taken place, prices of leading staples remaining without
the slightest alteration, while freights show, from the
present limited amount of tonnage, a further slight im-
provement.
Our import market has remained flat, and without any
prospect of improvement so long as the present tight-
ness of money in the up country marts continues.
Holders are anxious sellers, and, as usual in such cases,
buyers keep on the reserve. The finer qualities of grey
shirtings are comparatively neglected, but the common
and middling kinds are selling largely, but without
any change in price. White cambrics continue flat and
unprofitable. White twills remain extremely de-
pressed. White madapollams are neglected, bul
the greys meet with a ready sale. Jaconets remain
without improvement. The demand for lappets con-
tinues limited. Mull mulls aro still dull. Turkey red
goods can only with difficulty be sold. Prints and
chintzes continue neglected. A fair amount of business
has been done in mule twist, but ate further trifling de-
cline. Some sales of coloured yarn are reported at pre-
vious low rates. Iron is in fair demand. Copper is
lower; sales of 4,300 mds. of spelter are reported at
6-3 k to 6-4. Lead has no report of sales. Bass and
Alsopps' beer are being retailed from second hands at
85; some of the latter brand has been sold to dealers by
the consignees at 80.
Our money market continues unchanged in the rates
of interest, but the signs of an increasing demand en-
gender more reserve in the supply. In exchange the
transactions have been unusually restricted by takers re-
fraining to come forward for this mail, and rates remain
consequently in general unaltered, though in isolated
cases slightly enhanced terms have been submitted to,
these being for six months' sight credit bills at 2-ok,
document draught 2-0 i to 2-ok. Freights have advanced
a further 2-6 to 5-0 per ton, and even thereat tonnage
is not generally available, the tendency of requirements
being upward.
