IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.

British Cotton Piece Goods—The dealers have continued
to absent themselves from the market, their time as well as
funds being at present occupied almost exclusively with opium.
The last few days have brought somewhat more favourable
accounts from Mirsapore, where rain had fallen, and it is pro-
bable that as produce arrives they will be enabled to operate
more frecly, the stocks in all the up-country marts being
much reduced.

Skirtings have changed hands to a moderate extent, and the
tendency has been in favour of the buyer.
Jaconots continue in fair inquiry, more especially the me-
dium qualities of bleached clottiQ. In lappets and lappet
scarfs but little has Leen done, and at somewhat under :former
rates.

Mulls and hook muslins continue in very limited inquiry.
Coloured and Printed Goods—Printed goods have been in
better demand, and a fair amount of sales are reported, but
without improvement in price. In Turkey red cloths we
have no change to notice, both twill and plain continuing in
moderate inquiry at former rates.
Imports of all kinds in June amounted to 682 packages.
Woollens—We have no demand to notice for these goods,
which continue neglected even at the low rates which holders
would accept.
Imports of all kinds in June amounted to 102 hales.
White Mule Twist—Yarn has continued dull of rale through-
out the past three weeks, with the exception of Nos. 20 and
30, which have been inquired for, and brought a slight ad-
vance • other counts have been purchased on rather easier
terms, but still to a very moderate extent.
Imports in June were 1,502 bales, 738,8101h5.
Coloured Yarn—The only transactions we have heard of
lately under this head have been of Turkey red, German dye,
at Ir. 10a. 9p. and British at lr. Ba. 2p. per lb.
Imports in june were as follows, viz. : —Red, 84 bales, or
32,5001b5.; Orange, 30 bales, or 12,0001b5.
Copper—About the middle of last month a demand sprang
up, and sales to a moderate extent were cfr•cted at a slight
advance on brazier's and tile; this has, however, again fallen
off, and, though former rates are maintained, there is but little
doing.
Imports in June were as follows, viz. :—Tile and ingot,
1,238 maunds; sheet and plate, 1,995 sr-minds ;• , nails 116
maunds ; brazier's, 139 maunds.
Iron—This metal continues entirely neglected by the dealers,
who either have not as yet received any up-country orders, or
cannot execute-them, as they do not appear to interest them-
selves in the market.

Spelter-- The demand fur this metal has again fallen off, and
it is dillieult of sale at the prices current on the 9th ultimo,
few pat ties, are, however, willing to subnit to any decline, and
we therefore hear of but few transactions.
Imports in June amounted to 2,089 tnaun,ls.
Lead and Tin Plates—ln lead the only sale we have heard
of lately is a small one of pig, stamped at 6.3 sicca rupees.
Tin plates maintain former quotations, hut we have not heard
of any transactions.

in the market. Bass's has been currently sold as low as 50r.
per hh,l., but we have heard ot' no sale of Allsop's under 60r. ;
and, as ne understand none of the latter's March brewings
will be sent out this year, the supply will be so much reduced
that the present relative difference between the value of their
brand and that of any other brewers is likely to be maintained
throughout the season.

—Sheet, 49 maunds

Exchange —•The number of China and local bills offering
immediately after the dispatch of the last mail, when parties
were unprepared to operate for the present opportunity, caused
the rate to advance a farthing, and :hi; has since been main-
tained, notwithstanding that transactions have been rather ex-
tensive-, the bulk of the busincsa hat., we think, been dune at

about Is l lid to is 'lid per rupee, but there have neverthe-
less been large operations at Is Hid.
MONEY-MARKET.

Notwithstanding the large sums of money which have of late
been taken out of the market by the opium sales, and the
khowledge that upwards of 7,000,000 Company's rupees will be
required in the course of the present month to clear the pur-
cha.es made on the 30th ult., we still find Government securi-
ties maintain their rates ; and in fact the tendency is at present
rather in favour of further improvement. lb Bank Stock we do
not hear of many operations, but shares continue at a high pre-
mium.

Freights—Shortly after our last issue, the large amount of
ton tage available, and the small shipments going forward,
iniaced consignees to submit to a decline of about 2s. Gd. ;
bn , arrivals being again light, rates have rallied.
