Calcutta, May 3, 1838.-The market for White Cotton Goods has improved, and considerable sales of Plain Book Muslins have been made for the Burmese markets, at rather higher rates than were current last week. Lappets have not been much inquired after, and there is no alteration in price. Shirtings are quite neglected, and the large supplies by late arrivals are likely to cause a still further decline in price. Lappet Scarfs are in good inquiry. 6-4 Jaconets and Cambrics, of medium to fine qualities, can readily be disposed of at remunerating rates. In consequence of the late heavy imports, White Cotton Yarn has declined in price. Turkey Red and Orange Yarns have a tendency to improve. Woollens still continue in fair demand, but without any alteration in price. Bolt and Sheathing Copper have risen in price about 4 annas per maund since our last issue, but the business done during the week is very small. Iron generally, since our last, has experienced a decline in price; the transactions of the week are moderate. Our quotations for Spelter remain unaltered, but a considerably larger business has been done during the week than for some time past. Tin Plates, same price, but we have only a sale of 50 boxes to report. Lead remains nominally at our quotations, but we have no sales to report.-Price Current. Bombay, May 21, 1838.-There has been a little more activity in the Piece Goods market during the week, and sales to some extent have been effected. The finer descriptions of goods are most in request; still, however, the demand is far from active, and the near approach of the monsoon must prevent it becoming so this season. No sales of English Bar Iron are reported in the past week, and prices are now somewhat effected by the close of the season being so near at hand. Imports have been very light for several months, and should they continue so, improved prices may be expected when the season again opens in September. There have been no transactions in Hoop or in Sheet Iron during the week. A sale of 300 candies of Swedish Iron is reported at Rs. 574, which is about Rs. 20 per candy above the present price of English. Spelter has been retailing as high as Rs. 148 per cwt., a price which is attracting it back from some of the towns in the interior: there is none at present in English importers' hands. Tiles are still in little demand. Singapore, March 8, 1838.-The stock of Plain, Printed, and Coloured Cotton Goods continues small. There has been some inquiry for plain goods by the Cochin-Chinese traders now here, who have made some purchases of Madapollams and Longcloths. These traders took a few pieces of different descriptions of Cotton Goods last season, chiefly as samples, and if the taste for them increases, as may be expected, Cochin-China will likely become an extensive outlet for British Cotton manufactures. Cambrics are in little request at present, except common qualities, of which there are none in the market. Grey Shirtings are in fair demand. Prints, suitable patterns of Fancies much wanted. Plain Turkey Red Cloth inquired for, but low prices are offered. Cotton Twist, Grey Mule, no importations during the week, and suitable Nos. (say 36 to 44) are much wanted. Woollens, Camlets, in little request for the junks this season. About 800 pieces of Long Ells have been sold to the Cochin-Chinese during the week, at 8 to 8 dols. per piece. Cutlery and Hardware only saleable by auction at quotatons. Metals: the market is now well supplied with Bar Iron. A small lot of Nail Rod imported from Calcutta has been sold at 41 dols. per pecul. Copper Nails and Sheathing, none in first hands. Spelter, not any transactions in this article by the CochinChinese yet heard of. Canton, March 13, 1838.-The market is dull for most descriptions of British manufactures. The next mails for Egypt and India, vid Falmouth, will be despatched from the General-Post-Office on Saturday, the 4th of August. INDEX TO VOL. XXVI. PART I-ORIGINAL AND SELECT PAPERS, &c.
