CALCUTT A.

The overland " Bengal Hurkaru" (Nov. 17) says:—
" Of Allsopp's Ale 430 hhds. have been sold at Company's rupees
67 to 77 per hhd.; and of Bass's 310 hhds., at from 65 to 67 rupees "
The " Review of the Calcutta Market" (Nov. 14) give this qUo.
tation:—
Allsopp 6B to 70 rps. per hhd. I Bass 65 to 67 rps. per hhd.
On the 14th of Dec. the same price current quotes sales of 400 hhds.
of Allsopp's Ale, at 72 to '73 rupees, and Bass's ditto at '7O.
The Bengal Hurkaru " (Dec 19) quotes the following sales :
hhds. rps. ans. hhds. rps. ans. rps
Allsopp .2o•' 72 8 8a5.........100 6•S 0

Messrs. Gladstone's reports of the market for Ale (N0v.13) were :
Allsopp .oBto 70 rps. Bass
.65 to 6ti rps.
On the 14th of 'December the same firm quote the prices of Ale
as nominal, except Allsopp's, which had been sold at 75 rupees, and
on the 17th of January at 83 rupees (50 libels).
On the 14th of December Messrs. Lyall, Matheson, and Co., say,
" No sales of Bass's Ale Live been mode for some time past ; we
cannot, therefore, give an actual quotation ; but rupees 67 to 70
may be considered its value, er five rupees below your own
brewing."
Under the head of Calcutta, Messrs. Allsopp have only to add
that Messrs. Bass and Co. have quoted sales of their own Beer at
that place at 80 rupees, and Messrs- Allsopp's at 75 rupees per hhd. ;
and on the 17th of January they even quote actual sales at 1/0
rupees. Messrs. Allsopp have taken some pains to ascertain the
truth of these statements, and find that the ground for these quota-
tions is a shipment of 10 butts by the " Tecumseh," 8 of which,
having been consumed on board the vosel, v ere charged to the
owners at 91 rupees per hhd. as by account sales rendered• 17th
January, 1844, the remaining two be ng landed at Calcutta and sold,
one by private sale, at 81 rupees per lihd.. and the other (ullaged)
at 70. .1 he actual sale alluded to by Messrs. Bass and Co. on the
22d December,* at 80 rupees, turns out to be the identical parcel
quoted above, and Messrs. Mackay Holt, and Co , by request of
Messrl. Allsopp, ha• ing applied to Messrs. Bass and Co., for account
sales confirmatory of this statement, are informed by them that "there
are no account oases corresponding therewith."
MADRAS.

The last recorded sales of Beer on the spot (Oct. 18) stood thus :
Allsopp.. ...... 70 rupees per hhd. I Bass 65 rupees per hhd.
Messrs. Bass and Co., state, under this hem', that some of their
Beer had been sold at 68 rupees 8 annas. This, however, as it ap-
pears from the statement of Messrs. Haviside and Co., was for :,le of
the present season to arrive; while, at the sane period, Messy s. Hall
and Co., of Madras, had refused that price for 4.0 hhds. of AllEopp's.
The attention of the public is requested to the ingenuity of Messrs.
Bass aim Co.'s representation in this instance.
