MARKETS IN INDIA, &c.

Calcutta, Oct. 17, 1840.-Sales of Mule Twist, since the termination of the holidays, have not been extensive, and prices have undergone no change; the stock in the hands of importers is large-Coloured Yarn, nothing doing.-Sales of Chintzes during the week have been made at prices the same as previous to the Native holidays; the demand for all descriptions of Chintzes is small.In Coloured Cottons there is little doing, owing to the limited demand, and prices show no change.Sales of Jaconets, Book Muslins, Mulls, and Lappets, have been made to a pretty good extent during the week, but we are still unable to report any improvement in prices.- Woollen sales are reported at steady prices.-The sales of Copper are limited, and prices continue unaltered.-Sales of Iron have been made to a fair extent during the week, at steady prices.-Ste! and Lead without sale. Some sales of Spelter have been made, at a small improvement in price-Tin Plates and Quicksilver have been sold at steady prices.-Beng. Hurk, Pr. Cur-The Supreme Government have advertized a New 4 per Cent. Loan, subject to the condition of the advance being repayable at three months.

Madras, Oct. 20, 1840.-The demand for Cotton Pie e Goods has again declined; there is at the present time very little doing in them; prices, however, are nominally the same.-Metals: There have been a few partial sales in Tile Copper at Rs. 245 per candy, and old Bottom Copper at Rs.290 per do., and in Pig Lead at Rs. 50 and 51 per do. In other Metals we have not heard of any operation.-Freight to London and China, no tonnage. -Pr. Cur.

Bombay, Oct. 31, 1840.-A considerable business has been done in Piece Goods; upwards of 100,000 pieces of various descriptions having been sold during the month, generally at steady prices. The Cabul traders made their appearance in the market ear y in the month, and, as was the ca e last season, the demand has chiefly been for Turkey Red Twills and Zebras, Grey Goods have been the principal descriptions selling, but Bleached have been more inquired for by the Cabul people. Prints

during the month have continued dull of sale, but a better inquiry is expected for them during the ensuing month.-Woollens continue in little or no demand.-The sales of Twist during the month have been to a large extent, but, with the excep tion of Nos. 20 and 30, (which are s ightly better.) at no improvement in price.-In the early part of the month Iron declined a little; it has since, hosever, advanced, and sales have been effected at Rs. 40 and 401. Sales of Swedish have been made at 60 rupees per candy.-It is reported that the Bombay Government are about to open this Treasury for the Receipt of money on loan at 4 per cent., on the same terms and condi ions as the Bengal Government.-Pr. Cur.

Bankok (Siam), July 25, 1840-Business is altogether at a stand-still, produce scarce and highpriced, and the king has prohibited the exportation of rice, the grard staple of the country, by every body but himself The foreign merchants have lost all confidence in the government, from the oppressions and exactions to which they have been subjected under colour of the new law to suppress the opium traffic. They cannot, moreover, get in their debts, as the government will afford no assistance towards recovering them; which, by the 5th article of the Treaty of 1826, so far as regards British subjects, they are bound to give.-Singapore Free Press, Aug. 27.

China. The blockade of Canton has been established, but the trade of the Portuguese settlement of Macao is not interfered with; and as the British merchants formerly of Canton are established there, and the smuggling of opium continues with unabated activity and success on the coast, at the islands, and outside at the anchorage, there is no effectual interruption to British commerce in China.-Calcutta Englishman, Oct. 16.

Manilla, June 13, 1840.-The demand for all sorts of Cotton Goods is very small, as is usual at this season of the year. Woollens, such as are proper for the junks, continue in demand, but without any improvement in prices, on account of heavy stocks.-Pr. Cur.
