Calcutta, Nov. 19, 1835.-The market for Picce Goods has not undergone any change since our last, we have therefore but to repeat our remarks for the preceding week, by stating, that Book Muslins, fine Lappets, Jaconets, Cambrics, and other descriptions of light Cotton Goods, are in good demand, and that Longcloths are not much required. Cambric Chintzes, and light fabric Ginghams, have a fair inquiry. The sales have not been large; indeed the stocks are too small generally to admit of a great weekly business being done, until we have fresh arrivals.-We have heard only of one sale of White Cotton Yarn during the week-say 70 bales, average 66, at 0-6-11 per morah. As supplies in the hands of the dealers are getting low again, we may expect improvement during the week, unless we have arrivals. In Coloured Yarn there is little doing.— Woollens continue to be wanted, and are realizing fair rates.-Copper, a further reduction in price has been submitted to, and the market continues depressed. Iron, Spelter, and Lead, without any alteration.-Pr. Cur.

Madras, Nov. 18, 1835.-In Cotton Twist there has been a good deal doing, and prices of Orange and Turkey Red have advanced since our last,

Bombay, Nov. 7, 1835.-Our market for Piece Goods remains as before; the supplies, although not large, still keep pace with the consumption. The stock of Cotton Yarn is moderate, but the demand is not comparatively brisk.

Canton, Nov. 10, 1835.-Cotton Piece Goods keep in regular demand, but without any improvement in price.-Cotton Yarn has been very dull in demand, and lower prices are offered, in consequence of the large supplics that have been lately received. Long-ells are saleable in moderate quantities, at our quotations.-Woollens are in trifling demand, even at low prices. - Iron and Lead are steady at our prices.-Nov. 29, In consequence of the great destruction of Woollen goods by the late fire, of scarlet and assorted qualities, there has been a considerable increase in the price. In Broad Cloth there has been some improvement, and also in Cottons, particularly Bengals. Raw Silks are also advancing, and Teas of all sorts, and the tea-men continue to exact high prices from parties compelled to buy, in order to prevent delay in the despatch of vessels.
