SUPP

curable under 2 rupees 4 annas per ,maund. The demand
for Mauritius and Bourbon continues moderate at about
former prices.
Oil Seeds—We have not the slightest alteration to notice
in the market for either linseed or mustard seed, purchases of
both having been on a moderate scale, and at about former
rates.
Safflower—A few small sales are reported at 32 to 38 ru-
pees for fair Patterghatta, but the demand is at prgsent lan-
guid, and • sales effected with difficulty.
Shell Lac and Lac Dye—Shell. Lac has been in mode-
rate demand, and several, small parcels have changed hands
at about former rates. In lac dye we are aware of a few lots
being taken for France, but generally speaking, parties do not
seem disposed to pay the high rates lately current.
Hides, Horns, and Tips—The market for hides, especially
Buffalo, has been rather more active, and several parcels
have changed hands for Great Britain and America.
Buffalo horns are not much wanted, but we notice consi-
derable shipments as dunnage. In deer and tips we are not
aware of any transactions during the week.
In the minor articles of country produce we are not aware
of any alterations having taken place since the 7th inst.
Opium—Prices continued to decline for some days after
our last issue, and came as low as 1,358 Company's rupees for
Patna, and 1,290 for Benares; of late, however, they have
rallied, and we now quote the former at 1,395 to 1,400, and
the latter at 1,320 to 1,325 per chest.
The stock in the Company'sgodown consists of 2,921 chests
Patna, and 798 of Benares.
Cotton—We have heard of a few operations for China, but
there is still but little inquiry for the article.
Exports from the Ist inst. up to date are 5,042 maunds.

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.
British Cotton Piece Goods—Business has been far from
brisk during the past nine days ; but as we are aware of no
other reason for this except perhaps a little lightness in the
bazaar, we arc rather disposed to think it merely proceeds
from the delay in deliveiies, consequent on the state of the
weather, and that when this is removed operations will pro-
ceed on their former scale. We are not aware of any altera-
tion in the value of the principal fabrics under this head, and
will not therefore enter into a recapitulation of them, merely
noticing that the inquiry for all is at present languid.
Coloured and Printed Goods—ln these a fair amount of
business has been gone through, but no increased demand has
been observable, chintz continuing rather difficult of sale, and
Turkey red cloths, of suitable descriptions, in good inquiry.
Woollens—ln these goods we have no change to notice, and
although a few sales have been effected prices are still low.
White Mule Twist—This market has been steady, and
although sales are not extensive prices are looking up, 50's
having further advanced in value, and 40's being very firm.
Coloured Yarn—Under this head but little has been done,
a few bales of German dye have, however, been placed at
lr. la. 141 p., and British at lr. Oa. 7p. per lb.
Copper—The sales effected during the week have been to
a very limited extent, and the demand for tile, which was
brisk at the date of our last, has apparently fallen off, al-
though rates are maintained; sheathing has sold to a mode-
rate extent, and prices are rather firmer.
Iron—Transactions in this metal have again been to a most
insignificant extent, and we cannot as yet observe any symp-
toms of improvement.
Spelter—A few parcels have changed hands at Company's
rupees 10-10 to 10-12, but the latter figure is not .now ob-
tainable.
Lead and Tin-plates—Sales of pig stamped are reported
at Sicca rupees 5-12 to 544 per maund, but in other de-
scriptions and tin-plates we are not aware of any transac-
tions.
Beer—Prices even of the favourite brands are quoted rather
lower, and all are extremely difficult of sale.
