Expoars FROM CALCUTTA.

ludigo.—The manufacturing is drawing to a close with
less favourable resbits than at firAt anticipated. It ha° w
evident that the produce of this 'year will fall short of
last season's crop.
tiugar.—We have been without any transactions for
the Briti.h markets. Our quotations are nominally the
same as at the date of our last, although it would be diffi-
cult to place any large quantity at a rupee per maund
under.

Saltpetre.—The market has been rising rapidly and
prises aro considerably higher since our last. The de-
mand is moderate, tint our stock also is very small and
supplies expected t., ha short for some time.

Riee.—ln table qualities we have had very little doing,
hut as the market is bare of largo supplies, no change in
prices can be noticed.

Raw silk —Althoogh large shipments are going for-
ward by the present snail, it must be remembered that
the principal portion consists of European filatures
shipped on manufacturers' account. The transactions
since our last have been chiefly confined to native qua-
lities, which have been gradually declining in value, and
at closing we have silks offered at 4r. to sr. under our
last mail rates without meeting with buyers. The sales
have been—fine native flurrypaul,, or Doulutpores, as
they are now called, at 16r. to 18r. ;Cossimbazar at 13r.
to 18r. Ba. ; V and S M Trafalgar at 24,r. These prices
are at present untenable, and 2r, per suer loWer would
be gladly accepted.

Hides and Skins.—Although supplies oflate have been
considerably reduced, the market remains without
alteration, the advises from home not admitting of any
active demand for hidev.

Oil Seeds.—Linseed has been in good demand for the
AJuirican markets, and value well supported. We have
hardly anything doing for the British markets. Quota-
tions, re. 3-1 2 to re. 4 4 per maund according to quality.
Opium.—Previous to the arrival of the steamer Fiei y
Cross with advicee from Hong Kong to the 15th ultimo,
our market had been gradually on the advance. Oa
receipt of letters by her, prices receded to 1,290 r. for
Patna, but immediately after a reaction took place, and,
a general impression prevailing among native dealers
that in c:nisequence of the disturbed state of the Patna
and Benares districts, the cultivation of the poppy would
be considerably ch,.cked, if not abandoned altogether for
the present, the drug gradually rose until the 9th sale,
which took place on the 4th inst. Patna was quoted at
1,365 r. Our quotations now are 1,270 r. to 1,272 r.,
but it is apprehended these figures cannot bo main-
taieed under .xisting circumstances, especially if the
advisee now hourly looked for by the Lightning horn
China prove unfavourable. •

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. ,
Gray Sli;rtings.—A better demand has prevailed con-
sequent on large requirements for Lower Bengal and
local consumption during the ensuing native holidays,
and prices have advanced about ens anna a-piece, but
we are still without transactions for the Upper Provinces.
\Vhite Shirtinga have been in moderate request, but
we have no alteration in prices to notio,,.
Gray Jaconots have been placed to a larger extent
than before, and a❑ improvement of about 2 minas a
piece has taken place during the fortnight.

White Jaconots.—Without much doing, wa only give
the ruling quot4tions:—.r. 1-0 to 1-4 for low, 1.8 to 2-1
middling, and 3-4 to 5-4 fine.

White catnbries continue in the same neglected state,
not a single sale Lavin transpired for some time past.
Turkey Red Goods —We are still without buyers for
any sort, and our quotations must therefore be considered
quite nominal, _ _

Woollons.—The position of these goods is quite unal-
tered, there being no pure'uasers, and value horn wally
the same.

Coloured Yarns have continued in fair requr,st at
previous figures—namely, at 1-2 6 to 1.6-6. Turkey
red German dye 1-0 6to 1-4-6 for British dye. German
and Orange continue to rule at 0-11-0 to 0-12.6 per lb.
