LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING,

generally required by the crushers, who seem to prefer
sending it forward on cinsignment.
Turmeric—ln somewhat better icquiry, which, how-
ever, remains unsatisfied for want of choice in desirable
quality.
Cowries—The extreme rates required by holders
prove a detriment to any transactions of moment.
Cotton—With a best moderate demand prices have
further advanced 4 annas. _ _ _

Opium--The prices at the bizaar are firmly main-
,aintd, and rule fur Patna, 994 to 995; Benares, 1,020
;a 1,025; but transac:ions are very limited.
IMPORIS FROM EUROPE.

British Cotton Piece Goods—This market has since
our last issue established an unqualified turn towards a
general amendment, and tranraet'ons would have been
on a more extensive scale had holders not gradually
raised their requirements and shown much firmness i❑
this adapted position. Lancashire staples are more par-
ticularly the favourites, and their prices have all more
or less improved.
Gray Shirtings—The demand has been very active at
improving prices, in which the 40-inch goods of all
qualities share to the extreme extent, though 54-inch
ere run cif freely at a f sir advance, but 45-inch to a less
extent.

White Shirtings—Three have emrrcei from the long
neglect, and better prices are given for the better sorts
for iced consumption, W hilst the lower qualities have
attracted atceetion for speculaiive inve,tment.
White Figured Shirtings—ln yet but limited demand,
but rather better prices have been obtained.
White Twills and Camabrics—These are yet unno-
ticed, but none offering at previous low price:.
Gray T wills and American Drillings—Some sales have
been made at the low figure of 2 annas 8i pie per yard,
but further purchases cannot be made on those terms.
Madapollams—ln whites but little doing, grays are in
fair steady demand at 2 to 3 annas improvement.
Jaconets—Asdthewhat better demand is manifested

for whites, particularly in the lower qualities, which are
also sought after in grays for up-country orders, the
better class meeting with of sir sale at steady rates.

Lappets—Without;any material improvement in prices,
in limited demand.
Book Muslins—Fine qualities are in better demand at
a shade improved prices, No. 1-3 little wanted, and prices
stationary.
Mull-Mulls—ln more inquiry at somewhat more sa-
tisfactory prices.
Turkey Red Twills and Cambrics—Tho demand for
6-4 twills is more active at 3 to 4 pie per yard advance,
in which 8-4 participate to a less degree. In cambrics
the business is still unimportant, and prices unaltered.
Prints and chintzes in somewhat better inquiry, and a
fair business done at a slight improvement upon the
former.

Mule Twist—The demand continues active, and a fair
business has been transacted, which might have been
carried to a much larger extent had holders not further
raised their acquirementf.
Coloured Yarn—Turkey red twist, of superior Ger-
man dye, in good demand at improved prices, which to
a less extent are given for ()the.' colours in moderate
transactions.

Copper—ln limited demand at barelysupported prices.
Iron—Offwring on the lowest previous terms without
attracting general buyers.
Spelter—ln complete neglect, with a further decline of
4 annas.

Salt—ln fair demand at una'tered value.
Beer—We have not heard of any sale of Bass's since
fast mail, and hear that the small stock remaining is held
or the reduced price of Co.'s rs. 90 per hhd.
