EXCHANGE.

Since our last issue transactions have been unusually
small, as there is a great scarcity of bills with docu-
ments, and purchasers are unwilling in the present un -
settled state of the money-market to take uncovered

downwards. The rates of the day are as follow :
Agency bills with documents at 10 months'
date

SUPPLE MEN T.

CALCUTTA, 'SEPT. 16.—Since our last issue of the
9th inst. business has continued dull, and we have little
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, bat we have heard of
some small transactions at 2 11. Rates may be quoted
as follow, viz. :
Agency bills, 10 months' date 2 1 to 2 2
Ditto, 6 months' sight 2 2
Treasury bills, nominal.
Missionary bills, 30 days' sight 1 2 0
FREIGHTS.—Owing to the large quantity of ships in
the river, rates have receded a little, and parties would
be disposed to take dead weight at 30s. per ton.
MONEY-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 thejsmall 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 2 2
Bank Bills 2 0 to 2 01
Treasury Bills
Government securities continue firm, but little doing
in them.
