EXPORTS.

Indigo.—Just after the departure of the August mail,
the weather became exceedingly bad, with a continuance
of heavy rains, for about ten or twelve days, attended
with extensive inundations, and manufacturing was put
a stop to on the low lands. Since then the weather has
proved exceedingly favourable for the high lands, and
the season in the Lower Provinces begins to draw to a
close. From the Upper Provinces the accounts are fa-
vourable.—Abundance of rain, and the crops of all de-
scription s very luxuriant. Under all circumstances it
cannot be otherwise than calculated that the result of the
season is likely to be very considerably over our last
estimate! of 130,000 maunds. The crop is more than
one-half already housed, and manufacturing going on as
quickly as circumstances will permit. Of last year's
crop, of which about 4,000 to 5,000 maunds still remain,
some transactions have taken place at full prices.
Sugar.—Our market continued extremely dull for a
short time after the depnrture of the August mail, and
prices declined considerably, but during the last ten or
fifteen days the demand has revived, and very large ope-
rations have taken place, at an advance on the various
qualities, occasioned by the exceedingly low rate of ex-
change, and freights being easier, in consequence of a
considerable increase to our tonnage in the river, by nume-
rous arrivals.

Rum.—Large shipments continue to be made for the
English market, at prices from 6f to 7 annas per gallon,
proof. Exports from 10th Aug. to 13th Sept. inclusive,
95,396 gallons.
Saltpetre.—The demand for fine qualities has con-
tinued very steady, and considerable sales have taken
place.

- Raw Silk.—The demand since our last has been very
steady, and considerable sales have taken place, but at
lower prices, in consequence of buyers holding off rather
than giveathe high rates demanded by consignees of the
article.

Silk Piece Goods, Corahs.—The demand has been
rather steady than otherwise throughout, but holders
have been obliged to submit to rather lower prices, par-
ticularly for the middling qualities ; the fine descriptions
are scarce, and maintain full rates. In Bandanas there
is little doing, but in Choppas there has been some stir
in the market.

Lac Dye.—Our market for this article has been very
dull, but previous prices are fully maintained—first
quality scarce, and quoted at Co.'s rs. 60 to 65, good
!air descriptions rs 28, BNR at 19-8, andllß at 1G per
b. md.

Shellac.—The sales are not so extensive as advised
by last mail, still a fair extent of business has been done
at rather lower rates than previous quotations.
Cotton.—Since our last, one or two vessels have been
laid on, and are now loading for China, and the exports
to the 13th instant are 3,449 bales. The exports during
what is usually termed the shipping season, that is from
the first week in May to the above date, amount to
about 50,000 bales. This market is in a very languid
position, and prices are much lower.
Opium.—Prices of the drug have fluctuated a good
deal since last report, and may now be quoted conside-
rably lower, in consequence of the spirit of gambling
having subsided a little amongst our natives, and those
connected In ith the Bombay opium trade. Patna is now
worth Co.'s rs. 1,565 to 1,170 and 1,460 to 1,645 per chest
for Benares. Prices by last accounts from China are
quoted at 780 dollars.
_

Rice.—Freights latterly being easier, a fair extent of
business, since the commencement of the month, has been
done at Co.'s rs. 2-2 to 2-4 per b. md. for good clean
shipping qualities.
Seeds, Linseed.—Some small parcels, heavy and well
garbled, for shipment in small pockets for the English
market, have been sold at Co.'s rs. 1-12 to 1-14 per b.
md., and the Americans have bought rather largely at
these rates.

Ginger.—A very good business has been done in this
article, and sales are reported to a considerable extent at
Co.'s rs. 5-12 to 5-14 per b. md. for well garbled, fingery
parcels.
Tallow.—ln very moderate inquiry, and we only no-
tice the export to England of 64 maunds, but as the cold
season approaches, we may expect to see a good deal
doing in this article. Present prices are about Co.'s rs.
17-8 to 18-8 per bazaar maund.
Hides.— Our market continued dull for all descriptions
for some time after the mail came in, and prices, parti-
cularly for ordinary qualities, declined ; latterly, how-
ever, freights being lower, a better business has been
done.
