EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SILK SALL

The Company's sale i 1 Bingsl raw silks commenced yesterday
morning. There was a pretty full attendance of tbrowsters and
manufacturers from the country, but the es le began heavily. The
quantity of Company's Bengal to he offered is 1.400 bales; the
quantito of private trade, or licensed raw silks, however, is very
larr, indeed much more so than for some years past, particularly
of China silks. the arrivals of which have latterly been very consi-
derable. Aa4he quotations of nearly all descriptions of raw silks
are now as low as just subsequent to the panic in 1555, and as the
silk trade at Manchester and matt other places is beconsfrg much
more active. the prices at the Company's sale are expected to im-
prove as the sale goes on. Inferior Bengal silks were on sale gad
realised from 15s. id. to 16s. sd. per lb. being a decline on the
quotations realised for the same qualities in the correaponding•asle
of last year. The stocks of raw silks of most descriptions are heavy.
