of the mail, via Bombay, came in on the 19th ult., and put us
in receipt of London dates to the 7th of May. The accounts
of the home TT arkets for East India produce were again unfa-
vourable ; and, although the kwiless of stocks sti:l enables hol-
ders here in most instances to maintain former rates, theft, has
been bat little anxiety shown to purchase, and transactions
have been on a very moderate scale.

The long I.ot:eft:for improvement in the demand for im-
ports has not as yet been manifested in the slightest degree,
although the rivers are now navigable, and produce is arriving
freely ; this is probably caused by the attention of the dealers
being still occupied with opium speculations, end by the large
sums of money required for that purpose, and, as the sum that
will be required during the present month to effect the clear-
ance of that purchased on the 30th tilt. is no less than 7,000,000
Company's rupees, we see no prospect of money being more
abundant at present, although, from this being the last Govern-
ment sale of the season, it is probable the dealers may now re-
turn to their legitimate business.
Exchange has again advanced about a farthing, but at this a
large amount of operations have been effected, and first-rate
paper is in request. Our river is still well supplied with ship-
ping, and freight is procurable on about the same terms as at
the date of our last.

Indigo—Our lite accounts from the interior are not so flou-
rishing as those previously received, particularly from the east-
ward (Furre eelpore Dacca, Alymunsingh), where they have
experienced very heavy rain and a sudden rise of the rivers,
which have done them a great deal of harm—in fact, so much
so, as to reduce their prospects to two-thirds of what they pre-
viously calculated on ; it also appears that the rain has injured
the plant considerably in Rungpore, as well as in Jessore and
Rajeshaye, a.:;d should the weather experienced in Calcutta
during the past two or three days have extended to those dis-
tricts, we shall doubtless shortly hear of further complaints.
On the whole, however, we cannot say that the general
accounts are very bad, as a few dabs of fine wea-
ther would counteract the damage done in many parts, and
we are aware that rain was much wanted in others,
as Nuddea, llaldah, Purneah, and Bhaugulpore, where the
manufacture is progressing splendidly ; from Tirhoot our ac-
counts are rather favourable as compared with those of last
month ; the western provinces are likewise promising well, pro-
vided they have early rains, and we hope to hear in a few days
of their having regularly set in there ; in which case they will
cut a splendid koontie, with a probability of a good uowdah. We,
however, hear a very general complaint of the fine plant they
are cutting not yielding so good produce as was looked for, and
many parties will find their out-turn fall short of what they cal-
culated on from the quantity and general appearance of the
crop; this deficiency, however, is to be attributed more to the
coolness of the nights than to the quality.of the plant, and with
tine weather will Improve.
It is still quite iimpossilde to say anything about the quantity
likely to be produced, as everything depends on the 'weather
experienced throughout the manufacturing season, but we can
confidently say that there is plant enough on the ground to yield
a full average out-turn.

Sugar—At the date of our last the low state of the rivers
had only allowed oftmall parcels coming to hand, and these
consisted principally of good to fine qualities, which found a
ready sale ; since then, however, arrivals have been more free,
and, except for the very finest descriptions, there has been but
little demand ; so that, although we cannot as yet quote any
material decline, the tendency is decidedly downwards. With
low sugars the market is still very moderately supplied, and
prices are almost nominal.
For Khaur the inquiry has fallen off, and transactions have
been very limited.
Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 150,378
maunds.

Saltpetre—There is still a fair demand for this staple, and
although there is not at present much doing for Great Britain.
the scarcity of some descriptions and the demand for America
keep up prices.
For France we do not hear of any purchases, but small ship-
ments have gone forward to China.
Exports in June were as follows, viz.:—To Great Britain,
24,832 maunds ; to North America, 8,007 maunds.
Raw Silk—This market continues very quiet, the large
holders being still disinclined to submit to any decline, without
which it is impossible that any. general demand can be expe-
rienced, but as the unsold portion of the last bund is still very
considerable, and the produce of the rainy bund will be coming
to hand in about a month, we think considerable snore anxiety
to realise will shortly be manifested, in which case a material
decline appears inevitable. The sales since our last have con-
sisted almost entirely of small parcels, which have been taken
at a shade under former rates.

Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 1,338 mds.
Silk Piece Goods—Our market continues well supplied with
Corahs of low quality, but for these there is no inquiry, and
they are difficult of sale except at a considerable decline ; the
few parcels of first quality cloths, however, which have come to
hand have found purchasers at nearly former rates.
Choppas and Bandannas go forward on manufactures' account
with the exception or small parcels of Radnagore, which are at
times obtainable in this market.

Exports to Great Britain in June were as follows :—Corahs,
57,246 pieces; Choppas and Bandannas, 4,795 pieces.
Rice—The demand for table has continued moderate, and
purchases have been far from heavy, without, alteration in pi ice.
Moonghy and Ballam have been taken to some extent for
Mauritius and Bourbon, at Ir. Ba. to Ir. 10a. 6p. per maund.
Exports in June were as follows, viz.:—
To Great Britain
To Mauritius
—••- --- • -

Oil Seeds—The Americans continue the only purchasers of
linseed, and are still taki'r.g off large quantities, at from 2r. 2a.
to 2r. Ga. per maund, according to quality. Mustard seed is
in request for Great Britain, at former rates, but we are not
aware of many purchases.
Rum—This article is but litte inquired for, nor are we aware
of a single purchase; quotations arc, therefore, still nominal.
Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 49,351 gallons.
Shell Lac and Lac Dye—For shell lac there is at present but
little inquiry for any part, and sales can only be effected at a
decline. This, however, the holders of European manufacture
will not submit to, and transactions are therefore confined to a
few purchasers of low quality.
Lac dye continues in demand and scarce, except native
marks, which are not much wanted, and offering at about
former rates.

Jute—The native holders still keep up the price of this
staple by shipping, and we seldom hear of sales to any extent
in this market.

Exports to Great Britain continue heavy, and in June
amounted to 27,945 maunds. •
Safflower,nes, continues to be done in safflower, without any material
alterationiillniluj
price for Ginger, and Turmeric—A large busi-
ness
quality, although common sorts are
getting less inquired for ; shipments have been going forward
very t
and we should say considerably more than half the
creotlrinfg
rhas
eelayl:ready been disposed of.
In Alunret we are not aware of any transactions. Ginger
continues in moderate request for Great Britain and America,
but for neither are we aware of any extensive purchases.
Turmetic is not at present wanted, but a few parcels have
been taken for Great Britain at about 2r. per maund.
Cowries, 'Pineal, and Cutch—Under this head we have not
a single sale to report since our last. Cowries are, however,
in moderate demand for Great Britain, and in prices we have no
alteration to notice.

Cotton—This staple continues to command but little atten-
tion, and shipments to China are to a very moderate extent,
being from let inst. up to date only 56 maunds.
Opium—Prices commenced declining gradually shortly
after the date of our last, in consequence of the discovery of
forged passes, and it was thought the Government sale, held on
the 30th ult., would have established a further fall ; but,
owing to its being tho last of the season, this did not take place,
the ruling throughout being much the same as in the bazaar
previously.
The stock now in the Company's godown consists of 6,976
chests Patna, and 2,563 chests Ilcnares.
Hides, Horns, and Tips—Hides continue in very moderate
demand, but vales nevertheless are to a fair extent., principally
for the English market, and prices are much the same as last
month. In buffalo horns there is not much doing, but, al-
though they are rather difficult of -sale, prices are main-
tained. In deer horns and tips we are not aware of a single
transaction.
