small, as there is a great scarcity of bills with docu-

SU PPLEME N T.
CALCUTTA, 16.—Since our last. issue of the

or no change to notice in our market.
The exchange has been declining : the rate of the day
for bills at ten months' date is 2 2, but we have heard of
some small transactions at 2 14. Rates may be quoted
as follow, viz..—
Agency bills, 10 months' date.... 2 4- to 2 2
Ditto, 6 months' sight 2 1 2
Treasury bills, nominal.
Missionary hills, 30 days' sight 1 114 2 0

the river, rates have receded a little, and parties would
be disposed to take dead weight at 34 per ton.
ONEY-MARKET.
(From the Bombay Courier, Oct. 7.)
But little business has been doing in the Money-
market since our last.- Exchange on London is less
fluctuating than was expected last week. Consequently,
on the!sruall amount of bills against shipments at present
offering. those of six months sight are in demand ; a
moderate amount on France has found-purchasers, and
the following may be looked upon as the rates of the
day :-
10 months' date
6 months' sight 2 2 to 22
Bank Bills 2 0 to 2 0
Treasury Bills 1 llk to 1 11;i
Government securities continue firm, but little doing
in them.
