Oil Seeds—Small shipments still go* erward
and would dbubtless increase considerably, if freig]
Linseed has been in rather less inquiry for Am
maintained.
Safflower,- inter, and none at
market, and the new crap cannot be looked for for two or three
months. Munject, no sales have been reported since our last, but
prices are fully maintained. Ginger, the only inquiry is for Ame-
rica, for which a few purchases have been made, at about
former rates. Tunnel-lc is saleable to a moderate extent for
France, at, for cleaned, from 2-2 to 2-4 per md:
Cowries, Tincal, and Cutch—Cowries continue in good demand,
at for Dacca re. 5.8 to 5-12 per md. In Tincal and Cutch we
I bear of no transaction?.
Shell-lac and Lac-dye—Since the Precursor left we are not
aware of any transactions in either shell-lac or lac-dye and prices
remain as before, with but little inquiry.
Jute—We have heard of but few purchases in this market
lately, but exports to Great Britain continue on a moderate scale,
freights for this description of goods being (comparative'y speaking)
low. Exports to Great Britain from Ist inst. up to date -amount
to 18,192 Inds.
Hides, Horns, and Tips—Hides have not been in much demand,
and transactions for both England and America have been on a
moderate scale, at about former rates. Buffalo horns have sold at
Co.'s rs. 11 14 per hundred, but exports to Great Britain and
France are light, Tips in fair demand at former prices.
IMPORTS FROM &MOM.

!at Britain;

C but prices are

PRIOR sd.

British Cotton Piere Goods—We have scarcely any alteration to
notice under this head since our last issue of the 7th inst. Not
the slightest symptom of an improving demand has been manifested;
transactions have been unimportant, and prices barely main-
tained ; while, to add to this unpromising state of things, we
find the Government proposing to raise the rate of duty from 31
to 5 per cent.; this, however, cannot take effect for three months,
even if passed when brought before the Council. In shirting', but
little has been done, and priccs remain as before. Jacconets, both
grey and white, must be quoted rather lower. Books and mulls
have been in moderate inquiry at about former rates.
Coloured and Printed Goods—We are nut aware of any further
reduction having been submitted to, but transactions in both prints
and red cloths continue limited.

Woollens—Without the slightest improvement either in demand
or price. By the proposed regulation we find these goods Will he
more affected than any others, the rate ofduty being increased from
2 to 5 per cent.

White Mule Twist—sales have not been very extensive, but
there has nevertheless been more inquiry of Iste, and we may quote
a slight advance in almost all counts. This article is the only
one of importance not included in the late notification (previously
referred to), the rate of duty being allowed to remain at Of
per cent.

Coloured Yarn—There has been but little doing under this
head since our last, the only sales reported being of 17 bales of
Turkey red (British) at from 1 7 4 to 1 8 0 ; and 3of German
dye at 112 3. The last sale of orange was effected at 12 annas
per lb.

Copper—We are still unable to notice any improvement in the
demand for this metal, notwithstanding that holders have sub-
mitted to a further decline; and from the very limited nature of
the transactions which have been effected our quotations are almost
nominal. We have beard of a sale or sheeting at the low figure
of 33 5.

Iron—We noticed in our last rather a better demand for com-
mon bar, which has continued up to the present time, and al-
though operations have not been extensive, there appears to be a
feeling that prices have seen their lowest, caused probably by the
accounts from England. In other descriptions a moderate business
has been done, at about former rates.

Spelter—At the date of our last t iis metal was not saleable
to any orient even at the low figure of Co.'s rs. 10 4. and this
continued till very lately, when holders showed more firmness,
and we believe a sale has been made at 10 6. The proposed
alteration in duties, if carried out, will bear heavily on this metal.

Lead and Tin Plates--In lead there has not been much doing,
but pig has sold at former rates, viz., Sicca rs. 6 per md.We notice
a sa'e of plates at 13 12 and also at 13 4.
Beer— We are not aware of any sales since our last, and our
quotations are therefore nominal.
