markets, in reThere is nothing worthy in the spect to Cotton, Sugar, Coffee, Teas, Spices, Rice, or Saltpetre. Indigo. The East-India Company's quarterly sale of Indigo, which ich commenced on the 13th inst., terminated this day: 7,466 chests were declared, but previous to the sale 412 chests were withdrawn, leaving 7,054 chests, viz. 5,855 Bengal, 477 Madras, 716 Oude, and 6 Java. The Bengal consisted chiefly of fine, good, and mid. qualities, -suitable for exportation, with but a small proportion of ord.; yet there was a large proportion of the mid, and ord. sorts, more or less mixed and broken. The Madras was chiefly ord, and mixed. The Oude mostly mid. and good, but much broken and more or less mixed, and manufactured upon F the Bengal plan; there was none of the usual ord. Oude, the manufacture of which is said to be abandoned
The sale opened with the Company's Indigo, vis. 1,184 chests of Bengal, which were taxed from 2s. 6d. to 6s. 6d. per lb., and sold from 3s. 8d. to Bs. per lb. The fine qualities have gone from last sale prices to fid. per lb. lower, there appearing no
orders for the very best sorts, but all other qualities, for which the demand was extensive, went from last sale prices to 6d. per lb, higher, until the last three days, when there was less uniformity in the prices, possibly from the goods having been examined in a hurry, some losts selling 6d. per lb. above, and others 6d. per lb. below last sale.
Upon the whole the sale has gone off with considerable animation, and the proprietors have given fair support; but as most of the bought-in lots were afterwards disposed of, the actual-quantity brought in is too trifling to notice. The following is a statement of chests at each price, vis. 201 chests from ... 7. a 8s. per lb. ditto ........ 68. a 78. ditto.
