but little probability of their buying largely at present rates.
Orders from England would appear to vary considerably in
their limits, some being at 4s. 6d. to ss. for the best, or 140

ing freely 30 rupees above tliat mark.

For about a week after the arrival of the mail transactions
in sugar were on a very limited scale ; prices, however, of
middling and knferior qualities having slightly given way,
purchasers hive 'again been induced to come forward, and
• within the last few days considerable sales have been effected,
principally hi these descriptions. Fine white, when procur
able, maintains former high rates, whilst Khaurs and all
' - brown sugars are almost entirely neglected for export.
• Exports from the Ist instant up to date, amount to 6,943

▪ The demand for nearly all qualities of saltpetre has Conti-
lined thrdughout the month for both the English and Ame-
rican iiiarkets, but in some instances purchases have been
made on rather more favourable terms; we have also to no-
tice a few transactions lately for France, the exports to which
place, however, continue on the decrease.

viz. :—To Great Britain, 951 maunds ; France, 4,850 maunds.
The exports of rum to Great Britain in December were
heavy, having exceeded 70,000 gallons, but the only trans-

date amount to 4,140 gallons.
• Several parcels of Cossimbazar November bund raw silk
have arrived since our last, the quality of which being very
. superior, and the home accounts for that description being
comparatively favourable, it found a ready sale at our quota-
tions. Large quantities of Hurrypaul and Radnagore of the
rainy bund are still on hand, in consequence of the native
holders being unwilling to submit to a reduction correspond-
, ing to the prices obtainable in England, and transactions
have been on a very limited scale ; but, as the new bund must
- shortly arrive freely, we think many parties must be obliged
to realise. The exports from the Ist instant up to date are—
to Great Britain, 184 maunds ; North America, 12 maunds.
The demand for all descriptions of silk piece goods con-
tinues extensive, and parcels, as they arrive, are readily taken
at about former rates for Great Britain, to which part ship-
ments cf Corahs continue to increase, whilst Choppas and
Bandannas show a slight falling off. The exports from the
Ist inst. up to date are as follows, viz. :—to Great Britain,
-Corahs, 13,037 pieces; Choppas and Bandannas, 1,304 pieces.
North America, 510 pieces.
There has been nothing doing in opium since our last, all

tained ; the only sales we have heard of are-23 chests B.

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.

We have little change to notice in the value of any sta-
ples under the head of British Cotton Piece Goods sinoe the
20th ult. The disposition to hold until higher prices are
obtainable, or a more favourable rate of exchange is esta-
blished, continues; and, as the season is a quiet one, transac-
tions on the whole have been limited. Shirtings have again
sold to a fair extent, and bleached cloths have realised some-
what better rates; grays remain without change. White
jaconets of low and medium qualities have advanced from
two to three annas, and the tendency is in favour of further
improvement. Grays are steady at about the rates current
last mouth. Lappets have sold to a moderate extent, with-
out material alteration in value.
The demand for book and mull muslin* is almost entirely
restricted to the coarser descriptions.
A few of the Caubul dealers have come into the market,
and well adapted styles of prints are engaging attention.
Stout Turkey red twills continue in request, and we hear of
several sales at full prices. In plain cloths we have no alter-
ation to notice.

Imports of all kinds, in December, amounted to 1,000 cases.
The demand for woollens continues limited, and sales can-
not be, effected at other than very discouraging prices.
Stocks are still on the increase. Imports in December were
479 bales.

This is usually a quiet season for yarn, and sales have been
limited; Nos. 40 and 50 'are relatively in the best demand;

eagerly inquired for. Imports in December were 3,077 bales,
or 1,490,0321 b.
