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 freely, the stocks in all the up-country marts being
much reduced.

Shillings 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 cloths. In lappets and lappet
scarfs but little has been done, and at somewhat under :former
rates.

11Iulls and book 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 bales.
White Mule Twist—Yarn has continued dull of sale 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, 738,8101b5.
Coloured Yarn—The only transactions we have heard of
lately under this head have been of 'turkey red, German dye,
at Jr. 10a. 9p. and British at lr. Ba. 2p. per lb.
Imports in lune were as follows, viz.: —Red, 84 bales, or
32,h001b5.; Orange, 30 bales, or 12,0001b5.
Copper—About the middle of last month a demand sprang
up, and sales to a moderate extent were effected 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 maunds ; 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.

Imports in June were as follows, viz.t is unimportant, and
Bar, bolt, and rod,
16,626 maunds; hoop, 1,102 maunds; sheet, 1,253 maunds;
Swedish, 2,548 maunds ; pig, 3,675 maunds ; nails, 61 maunds.
Spelter—Tho demand for this metal has again fallen off, and
it is difficult of sale at the prices current on the 9th ultimo,
few parties, are, however, willing to submit to any decline, and
we therefore hear of but few transactions.
Imports in June amounted to 2,089 maunds.
Lead and Tin Plates—ln lead the only sale we have heard
of lately is a small one of pig, stamped at 6.3 aicca rupees.
Tin plates maintain former quotations, hut we have not heard
of any transactions.
Imports in June were as follows, viz.:—Sheet,
49 maunds ;
tin plates; 100 boxes.
Beer—The heavy imports have again led to a further decline
in prices, and inferior brands have now become
a perfect drug
in the market. Bass's has been currently sold as low as 50r.
per hhtl., but we have heard of no sale of A Ilsop's under 60r. ;
and, as we 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 he maintained
throughout the season.
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 this has since been main-
tained, notwithstanding that transactions have been rather ex-
tensive; the bulk of the business has, we think, been done at
