in imports during the week. We hear of no transactions in
cotton piece goods, yarns, or woollens. Brazier's copper has
been sold to the extent of 700 cwt., at 26 rupees ler cwt.,
being an advance of nearly 2 rupees per cwt. upon previous
sales. The cotton-market is firm, and :Surat has been pur-
chased at 81 rupees per candy to the extent of 500 bales.
Freights are on the decline, our quotations being 3/. bs. per
ton both to London and Liverpool, and 14 rupees to 14i
per candy to China. Exchange on London at six months is
at Is. 10id. to Is. 101 d. ; and at thirty days, Is. 91d. to
Is. 10(1. On Calcutta, at sixty days, 4 annas discount, and at
sight 34 premium. On Madras, at sight, par.—Bombay
Times, June 28.

Cotton—The extent of business transacted since our last has
been very moderate. Z.- hortly after the departure of the mail
on the '2oth ult. prices gave way considerably, but stocks being
now warehoused for the rains they have again rallied. 87
rupees per candy is now asked for Jumhooseer, 341 rupees for
Broach and Surat, 82 rupees for Oomrawuttz, 79 tupees for
Dollera, and 73 rupees for Compta. We have heard of a pur-
chase of 250 candies of the latter at 72 rupees.
Coffee—We quote Mocha at 8 rupees, and Malabar at 6
rupees per maund, but have heard of no transactions.

tation, to 1,425 to 1,450 rupees per chest.
Wool—We hear of no transactions, and retain last month's

prices.
Freights—The shipping arrivals have been very numerous
since our last, and this increase in the amount of available
tonnage has occasioned a decline latterly in the rates of freight
both to London and Liverpool. Our last quotation was 4/. ss.
to London, and 31. 17s. 6d. to 41. to Liverpool ; we may now
quote 31. 12s. 63. to 31. 15s. to both place. Freight to the
Clyde has been engaged at 31. 15s. The rate to China is 17
to 18 rupees per candy of cotton.
