FREIGIITS.

Arrivals having of late been far from numerous, and there
being at present but few vessels available for Great Britain,
rates have advanced to our quotations, which will, we think,
be fully maintained, should arrivals continue on a moderate
scale for a short time.

Cotton 4g3 per bale.
Opium—We believe there have been no extensive transac-
tions in this drug since our last, and prices have kept re-
markably steady. Benares, however, which was compara-
tively lower than usual, has advanced about 40 rupees, while
Patna remains as before. The stock in the Company's Go-
down on the evening of the sth was as follows, viz. :—Patna,
1,390 chests ; Benares, 824 chests ; total, 2,214 chests. The
second Government sale of the season is advertised for the
10th inst., when 1,800 chests of Patna and 850 Benares will
be brought forward.
Cotton—There has been scarcely anything doing in this
staple for some time past, and shipments to China are quite
unimportant, being in all January only 1,257 bales, and from
the Ist inst. up to date 100 bales.
Rice—The continued high ruling of freights (with every
prospect of a continuance) has at last somewhat checked
purchases for Great Britain, but shipments still go forward
freely without alteration in price, and from the Ist inst. up to
date amount to 14,000 maunds. We have of late noticed
considerable shipments to the Red Sea, Bombay, Gulfs, and
other parts, which in January were as follows, viz. :—80m-
bay,17,159 bags ; Red Sea, 26,261 bags ; Gulfs, 13,949 bags ;
Bourbon, 10,000 bags; and other ports, 15,000 bags.
For Mauritius a moderate amount of business continues to
be done, but from the Ist inst. up to date the exports amount
to only 400 maunds.

Oil Seeds—ln Linseed we have not heard of any transac-
tions for Great Britain, but the extensive purchases for
America have caused prices to advance somewhat. No sales
of mustardseed have been reported lately, but we notice a
shipment to London. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date
have been as follows :

Great Britain. France. North America.
Maunds. Maunds. Maunds.
Linseed ...... 1,353 ... 19 ... 3,357
Mustardseed . 3,820 ... 0 941
Jute—Good jute continues to sell at about 1-12 to 1-14 per
maund, or 8-8 to 9 per bale; and shipments go forward to
Great Britain to a fair extent at 41. ss. to 41.105. per ton.
Exports from the Ist inst. up to date amount to 9,893
maunds.

Safflower, Munjeet, Ginger, and Turmeric—Safflower, no-
thing doing; munjeet, without report of sale ; ginger, in
moderate demand for America ; turmeric, in fair demand
for France.

Exports from Ist inst. up to date are as follows, viz. :
Ginger, North America, 129 maunds ; turmeric, France, 902
maunds; North America, 101 maunds,
