CALCUTTA. March Elm rcsumng our usual weekly
commercial report interrupted for short period by
which is not necessary to explain happy in
ton and prospects of mercantile matters. There has
been gradual amendment for little time past and
compared with the period of last month things
are considerably improved give promise
of still further Improvement As regards the position Of
the export department OF our business, operations
have received stimulus from the relaxing tate Of the
monetary matters and the reduced rates of exchange
England. Both these circumstances have tended in
great measure to stimulate demand for produce and to
bring spectators into the market who had hitherto
Trained from operations. Under the influence of the
above there little doubt but that business would
have been conducted still more liberal and extended
scale but for the couneractng effects of reduced
of produce scany arrivals and enhanced demands Of
holders Latterly too, slight advance in the rates
of homeward frcighage has lent its aid to reprcss the
scale Of business Upon the whole the position Of the
tory and progressive. and we confident that.

the former though ting decline occurred on the arrival

when business Is fairly resumed look confidently for
increased demand advanced rates and already hear
of speculative purchases of native cotton cloth,

goods. There have been extensive purchases of
