THE BOMBAY MARKET.

(From the Cie1:11:erolt.;;;e; ceOTerl;;;lPrice Coreent.)
BOMBAY, JAN. 2, 1017.—Stnee the decorture of last mail there has
been no improvement In the impel% market, either as regards extent
of demand or increase of prices; on the contrary, the hater have had
a downward tendency, more particularly those of cotton Wece
frocAn of which large supplies have been thrown on the market in
the atone, of demand, me( to which the tame Is chiefly, if not en-
tirely attributable, otherwise the recent arnmanta from England would
naturaliv tend to produce an advance in prices, corresponding in
some dewee to that established at Manchester owing to the increased
mat of the 1:1•I m Aerial. No Marwarrie buyers have as yet roue
forward, their absence being by the dealers attributed chiefly to
the uncertainty prevailing us to the recent opium gambling bargain,,
which are now about to become subjects of litigation in the Supreme
Court. probably this mate of matters, while it lasts, may contribute
to keep money, as it now is, pretty may.
Mr ama—A very limited amount of business has been done in
these during the pest f autistic. The only roles reported to us are -
SS cwt. tile copper at Sara. per cwt.: 100 kegs Iron nails at 12 y on.
per cwt. ; and 400 bundles damaged boor at 154 on.
Corona MANUFALTIIOII.—The prices for Facet goals have ruled
lower during the mod fortnight than they did before, generally in
emmemienee of small demand, and the peculiar salmi above alluded to.
The continued absence of Marwarrie purchasers weakens the market,
aad renders it ill able to hear the heavy oaks which
have been premed upon it. Altogether the state and prospects
'of the markets, for English pure goods are very unnuis-
factory. The principal sales effected base been of grey pueonets
and domestics, and 45. inch long clothe, with a few white
abirtiags. The demand for fumy goods of all kinds Is particularly
' languid, and mles cannot be made to any extent except at rates
entailing heavy loss. There le Mill same inquiry for goad 45 inch
grey sloth. White long cloths have been sold low, and the lower and
middling qualities of white Mad:mono:in are unsaleable except at a
sacrifice.
YALNII.—MuIe and water are both pretty stationary, if anything
rather under previous rake.
Womars•--Nothing reported as doing.
BNF.M.—A sale of Allsopp's to the amount of GO hhds., at Re. G 5 per
hbd. has been effected. By this sale the stock of " Allsopp " 121 again
' reduced to a kw casks, and no farther supplies, either of this or Pars
and Company's, will be here until the new make their appearance,
which are nut looked for before the month of May, none having been
s Mined at the date of the last amounts, and would not be for three
weeks afterwards, the brewing having been delayed, owing to the
mildnem of the weather at bane.
Snore.—No chance in peke quoted, and no sales reported.
fisrmosi.—A ask is reported to us of 1301bs. inferior, at It. i, be-
ing one rum/item than our last quotation.
Coentsam.-24othing reported.
