EXPORTS.

Cassia—All the parcels which have recently come to market
have fetched high rates, and there being still an eager demand it
is expected a further rise will take place. Quot. 1 l 12k. Buds, 16.
Silk—The Chinese have at length lowered their tone; but no
purchases, we believe, have as yet been made. Tsatlee 460 a 470.
Canton, No. 1, 376 a 390.
Teas—Black—Few or no chops of fine Congous are now re-
maining. Two or three chops of middling quality have been
settled for during the week. The teamen will probably yet further
reduce their prices for such chops as are still in hand. We hear of
no transactions in other qualities of black Teas.

Green—Still eagerly sought after, and there appears no prospect
of prices failing to a rational figure this season. Exports for
Great Britain since Ist Oct., 19,9.24,6331b5.
Freights— For London and Liverpool, 3". 10s.

BOMBAY, APRIL 1.
(From the Overland Price Current of the Chamber of Commerce.)
The occurrence of the Hooly holidays during the past month
has cut off a considerable portion of the time usually available for
commercial operations, and the business transacted during the re-
mainder has been, generally speaking, of a limited and unim-
portant character, while prices have in some instances suffered
from further depression. Owing to the scarcity of money the
banks' rates of discount upon private bills have been raised to
6 i)or cent., and this has of course tended still more to embarrass
our general trade.

Metals—Thebusiness done in Metals since our last has been
extremely small, and of the few transactions that have had effbct
the major part appear to have taken place in the beginning or
middle of the month ; latterly scarcely anything has been doing.
We quote Sheeting and Braziers' Copper both somewhat higher
than before, Of the first a sale was made about a fortnight since

AGt t~-~

at rs. 50 13 per cwt., but rs. 511 has thin the last few dayil
been refused for the article. !reale as been sold at re. 53, an
advance of r. 1 per cwt. upon revious prices. Sales of Tile
have o 561, and the latter rate could now
be easily obtained were holders willing to sell. Copper Nails are a
trifle lower than last month. In Iron we have few changes oe
consequence to notice. No transactions have been reported in
Swedish Bar; but prices have a slight upward tendency, and we
now quote them at 45 to 46 rs per candy. For British Bar 24 rs.
have been declined since the arrival of the mail, and as the quart.
tity for which the offer was made was a large one, we set our quo.
tation at this rate. Sales of Nail rod were made early in this month
1 at 44 rs. for round, and 30; for square, and the latter has been
subsequently disposed of at 31 rs. Sheet and Hoop both exhibit
a trifling decline; but of the former only have we any trans-
actions to report. Steel in tubs has been sold at 11 ra., and In
faggots at l 2 rs. per cwt. Lead, Spelter, and Tin plates are d
of sale. Quicksilver is rather higher, having been disposed of at
58 rs. per maund.

Cotton Manufactures—The finer sorts of Grey Shirtings
and 40-inch), Madapollams, and Jacconets, have continued to
maintain the prices current for them at the date of our last publics-
tion—the first-named fabrics, indeed, of good quality, may be
quoted about two aortas per piece higher. The low and middling
kinds of these goods have beets without inquiry, and some forced
sales have been made at a considerable reduction Oil previous low
prices. Grey and white Jacconets of inferior sorts have in parti-
cular been sold at unprecedentedly low rates. All varieties of
bleached goods have continued in a very depressed state. Fur
prints, with the exception of fancy styles for furniture, there has
been no demand whatever, and Turkey red Cloths, both plain and
twilled, have been unsaleable save at reduced price:. Mulls, fancy
Cambrics, Muslins, Handkerchiefs, arc., have been all equally dull
and without inquiry. There seems now to be little probability of
any general improvement during the present season, and unless the
supplies from home be very considerably diminished, the prospects
of our import trade can hardly be expected to become more fa-
vourable.

Yarns—There have been few transactions either in Mule or
Water Twist; but prices have in some instances slightly advanced,
and the market for all the numbers is firm.

In Coloured Twist, the only transaction of which we have been
apprised is a sale of 2,8001b5. Rod, Nos. 16 to 50, at annas 14
per lb.

Woollens—ln the quotations for these we have no change to
notice. The market continues exceedingly dull, and sales can only
be made at low and unremunerating rates.
Marine Stores—The articles under this head have been, with
few exceptions, in extremely limited demand since our fact.
Swedish and Coal Tar are a little higher in price than before, bur
Pitch has declined to rs. 3i per barrel, and even at this low rate is
difficult of sale. Spirits of Turpentine have somewhat advanced
in value. We hear of sales of 101 barrels of Tar at es. 61 0 per
barrel, and 8001bs. Sail Twine at 1 annas per flo.
Beer—The only transactions we have to report are the follow.
ing :

50 hhds. Allsopp's at Rs. 50 per hhi.
5 „ J. Martin's at 22. „

In the absence of the new brew, the business done has been very
limited. Besides Allsopp's there are others in the market, but the
rates offered for them by dealers are so low that importers decline
selling. Of Bass's Beer the market hal for some time past been
quite bare.
Spirits—We hear of no sales, and prices remain muds as before.
Red Lead—A supply of this article having arrived, 100 cwt.
has been disposed of at ra. 15 per cwt. White Lead is ra. 2 per
cwt. lower than last month.

Safton—ls unaltered in value. Sales of low qualities have taken
place at re. 21.1 to 22 rs. per lb..
