EXPORTS.

The Precursor, with Londo,s dates to the 24th March arrived
on the 4th instant, but the advices received were not such as ma.
terially to affect our market for country produce. The business
transacted has been moderate, though in some of the more bulky
articles the reduction in the rates of freight have caused shipments
to go forward rather more freely. Prices of all the chief staples
of European export remain with hardly any change to notice.
Indigo—No intelligence has reached this during the past week
of the occurrence in the Mofussil of anything likely to affect the
crop unfavourably, nor have we anything new to add to cur last
report.

Sugar—The new crop of Benares continues to arrive in small
quantities, and meets with ready purchasers as it comes to hand.
Exports from Ist to Bth instant—Great Britain mds. 48,790.
Raw Silk—Demand for this important staple continues to show
no symptoms of improvement, and the quantity disposed of during
the past week is extremely limited.

Silk Piece Goode, Corahs—Our last report requires but little
alteration. Transactions continue large, but all except the very
best qualities, which are still scarce, are to be had on somewhat
easier terms. Sales during the week are to a fair amount.

Saltpetre—ln our last we noticed a better inquiry for this article,
and during the week a large business has been done, both for the
home market and America.

Shell Lac and Lac Dye—Prices of shell lac have declined, and
there is little of good quality now remain►ng in the bazaar. The
dye continues in good demand, though during the past week we
have not heard of any large sales having been effected.
Hides—There is no change to note in these goods. Superior
descriptions are in fair demand, but prices of all the lower qualities
are somewhat reduced. Exports continue large.
Jute— Shipments continue to go forward to some extent, chiefly
on native account. The value of fair cleaned remains without
alteration.

Linseed—Extensive transactions for American account are still
in progress, and the high prices nom demanded prevent all opera-
tions for the home market.

Safflower—Arrivals of the new crop of Patterghatta continue to
be bought up freely rather above our last quotations.
Rum—We do not hear of any sales on the spot, but shipments
are going forward freely, being from the Ist inst., 33,344 gallons.
Cotton—We have to notice a partial resumption of shipments
to China and the eastward. New Banda has been sold at Sa. Rs.
11.5 to 11-6. Old ditto at Sa. Rs. 10-2 per maund.
Opium—The bazaar has continued in the most excited state,
and prices havebeen driven up nearly Co.'s Rs. 100 per chest during
the week, and to all appearance are still on the rise.
Freights—Tonnage has not varied during the week, and our last
quotations are unaltered.

sugar, 4/. 17s 6d. to 5/. 2s. 6d.; rice, 5/. to 5/. ss. per ton of 20

IMPORTS.

Cotton Piece Goods—The market continues to improve gradu-
ally, and prices of nearly all staple goods suited for the season are
firm with an upward tendency.
Shirtings—Grey are saleable at a shade above last week's prices,
while bleached descriptions fully maintain their previous value.
Madapollams—Grey of good quality have been sold to a mode-
rate extent, but low reeds are in but limited request.
Jaconets—Fine white have been largely sold at an advance of
two to three annas per piece, while inferior descriptions remain
without change. Fine grey are also wanted, but of all common
qualities the stock is so large that no improvement upon the previous
low value can be noted.

Lappets—There has been more inquiry for the finer descriptions
of these muslins, and prices may be quoted I to 2 ans. higher,
though the amount of sales is not extensive. In the common kinds
there is no change.

Lappet Scarfs—Demand for these goods continues very limited,
and prices remain without improvement.
Book Muslins—ln these goods a large amount of business has
been done during the week, and prices may be quoted 3 to 6 pies
per piece higher for the low qualities suited for Rangoon.

Mull Mulls—There has not been much done in these goods, and
in prices no change can be recorded.
Printed Goods—The demand noticed in our last for these fabrics
has been continued, and for some styles a further advance of about
two annas per piece has been paid. Sales have been considerable,
and the market has an upward tendency.
Coloured Goods—Turkey red twills are in fair demand, and
prices well supported. Good stout Turkey red plain cloth, of 24
inch, are wanted, and would command high rates.

Mule Twist—There is no material alteration in the demand for
yarn. No. 40 fully maintains its previous value, and though 50
and 60 are rather dull of sale, our quotations of last week require
little alteration.

Turkey Red Twist—There is no change whatever to record.
Orange Twist—A few transactions in this yarn are reported.
Woollens—We have heard of no sales of any importance during
the bygone week.

Metals—Transactions continue on a very limited scale, there
twine apparently nn demand from the Tipper Provinces.

Copper—There is a moderate demand for sheathing, a little
above our last quotations, for local purposes, but for all other kinds
the market is dull.

Spelter— A further decline has taken place during the week, 1,500
mds. having sold from Co. Rs. 10.10 to 10.12, and we doubt whether
sales to any extent could be made without submitting to a further
reduction. There seems no disposition at present among the natives
to speculate in this metal, and from the Upper Provinces there is at
present almost no demand.
Iron—The market for this metal remains in much the same
state, there being few sellers except at a much higher rate than
speculators (now almost the sole buyers) are willing to give.
