BOMBAY, AUGUST 12.—Our money market during the
past fortnight has become easier, and, although rates of
interest at the banks remain unaltered, yet money can
be obtained on easier terms, and we therefore think a
fall is likely to take place soon. We have no marked
change to report on government and other securities
from former quotations.
The slight improvement in our import market noticed
a short time ago has made no progress ; the decline in
cotton and cotton fabrics in England has checked the
speculative feeling that lately induced dealers to effect
transactions, so that since last mail the pines of goods
are almost universally lower, and without so active a de-
mand as formerly prevailed.

There has little or no rain fallen at the Presidency
during the past fortnight, and the most serious appre-
hensions are beginning to bo entertained of a scarcity
next season. The accounts, however, from the interior
are favourable.

Cotton Piece Goods.—Sales have been effected to a
considerable extent, but in all cases at reduced prices.
In grey shirtings there has been a decline of gas.. per
piece, excepting those of 5 to 511b5., which remain firm.
There had been some inquiry for those of a superior
quality.
Grey Madapollams, 32 inch 24 yards, to arrive, have
been sold at reduced prices ; sales on the spot were
rather more favourable.

In piece goods the business done has been moderate;
importers were generally firm holders under home rei
ports of the early June mail, but after the receipt of
later letters Manchester advices had the effect of isduc.
ing many to desire to lessen their stocks ; but dealer°
hold back, for the districts of Lower Bengal have been
disturbed by an insurrection of the Santhals, at least di,:
forms an excuse for not operating, and parties vr;
should now desire to force sales would therefore have
make concessions in price.
The tightness under whioh our money market b°
been suffering for so long a period continues.
This is a most critical period as to indigo pros Pet
for this season ; the growing districts have had too
moisture, and a consequent lowering of expectations l;
taking place in most parts of Bengal ; but we need 0°
yet yield to despair, as whatever losses individuals 111
sustain, the whole crop, owing to increased breadth (I'
sowings in some districts, may yet much exceed 21 fall
average. _

Opiinn has fluctuated much, and gambling been ril4
on in time bargains.
Exchange—Transactions for the mail have been dope
to a large extent at about last ratessupply of b.
would not, however, have been sufficient to BOP:,
rates, had not the banks come into the market as draw':
and sold rather largely, the Oriental at 2-li, and win";
establishments at 2-11. Our quotations are 2-1 i for
class credits, up to 22 for document bills at six montlt
sight. Treasury and Bank Post Bills are offering
at 2-O& to 2-01.
Freights have ruled tolerably steady.

The indifrerenceminsthi evinced by Said Pasha to till
