at tam 50 13 per cwt., but rs. :Ai has within the last few dayi
been refused for the article. Braziers has been sold at ra. 53, an
advance of r. l per cwt. upon the previous prices. Sales of Tile
-reave-takm-phrerrnrrsol to 53i, 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 of
consequences to notice. No transactions have been reported in
Swedish LM; but prices have a slight upward tendency, and we
now quote them at 45 to 46 rs per candy. For British Bar 24 Ls.
have been declined since the arrival of the mail, and as the quan-
tity for which the offer was made was a large one, we set our quo-
tation et this rate. Sales of Nail rod were made early in this month
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 12 ra. per cwt. Lead, Spelter, and Tin plates are dtilt
of sale. Quicksilver is rather higher, having teen disposed of at
98 rs. per maund.

Cotton Manufactures—The finer sorts of Grey Shirtings (36
and 40. inch), Madapollams, and Jacconets, have continued to
maintain the prices current for them at the date of our last publiea.
lion —the first.named fabrics, indeed, of good quality, may lx
quoted about two annas per piece higher. The low and middling
kinds of these goods have been without inquiry, and some forced
:ales have been made at a considerable reduction on 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. For
prints, wiih 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 prices. Mulls, fancy
Cambrics, Mobhns, Handkerchiefs, &c., have been all equally dull
and without inquiry. There seems now to be little probability of
any general improvement during the present season, arid 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

Coloured Twit, the only transaction of which we have been
apprised is a sale of 2,6001b5. lied, No‘. l6 to 50, at it nom 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 last.
Swedish and Coal Tar are a little higher in price than before, but
Pitch has declined to rs. 31 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 100 barrels of Tar at ca. 61 0 per
barrel, and 800 lbs. Sail Twine at 1 annas per :b.
Beer— The only transactions we have to report are the follow.
ing

50 hhds. Allsopp's at Rt. 50 per hhd.
5 „ J. Martin's at 22 „
In the absence of the new brew, tt e 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 has for some time past been
quite bare.
Spirits— We hear of no sales, and prices remain much as before,
Red Lead—A supply of this article having arrived, 100 cwt.
has been disposed of at rs. 15 per cwt. White Lead is rs. 2 per
cwt. lower than last month.

Saf••on—ls unaltered in value. Sales of low qualities have taken
place at rs. 214 to 22 rs. per lb..
