BRITISH COTTON PIECE GOODS.—A
provement has been generally. manifested in the dets,h,
tor goods under this head since the conclusion of wi
Doogah Poojab holidays, and we may lottk forwari
continuance of it, as farm numerous other nolidays hB/
taken up the attention of the natives during a great,‘, rne
tion of the past month, and consequently restricted (Ltd
rations, it is probable that up-country orders which
la n over will now be executed.

Shillings, as noticed in our last, has continued, e%

for light makes, which are quite neglected, whilst teio
dling and heavy goods, as also 'good White Shott
have been sold at an advance of two to three annss!ff
piece. The finer descriptions of White Jaconets 11?
realised rather better prices, but other kinds,
well-known makes, have not been much inquired
Gray Cambrics of 24 yards by 50 to 63 inches are
and in demand at improved rates; whilst Whites are dbleto
cult of sale. A pretty fair amount of business has
done in Mulls with some prospect of further irePrjoi
ment. The market for Lappets and Japan Spots
been more active, and a slight advaneehas been obtailL)
the same may also be said Of-Lappet Scarfs, of e'
large sales have been effected.
PRINTED AND COLOURED GOODS.—Suitable gblego
of Chintz and Prints for the cold season have ly
more inquired for, and holders, looking forward t°o,
arrival of the Affghanistan dealers (who may no".#
shortly expected), are showing more firmness, re)
prices may be quoted a shade higher. Turkei
Twills have been in less demand,' but plain 24 004

neglected. !

WOOLLENS.—The cold season having now sek. ,10;
demand has (as anticipated in our last) improved, 0
owing to the heavy stocks here, and on the Iv* 11'

terms. A
