• BOMBAY MARKETS.
(From the 14th to the 28th of January.)
We have no change to report in the state of the money
market during thi past fortnight. Money is still easily
obtainable, and there has been no advance in the rate of
discounts. There' is, however, a growing uneasiness at
the unsettled state of matters in Europe, and the proba-
bility of India being also. involved in hostilities on the
frontier and in Persia in the event of a European war,
and securities of all descriptions are in consequence ne-
glected as an investment. With the exception of Com-
mercial Bank shares, the quotation for which is rather
higher, as it includes the bonus of 1 per cent. just de-
clared, and the right to an allotment of one new share
for three old, we quote lower prices for all joint-stock
shares ; and Government securities, which have been as
low as 4 per cent. premium, have only rallied about 1
per cent., in consequence of large purchases, as a medium
of remittance to Calcutta, on which place the exchange
has advanced to 14 per cent. premium for bills at sight.
Closing quotations are as under :
Government Five per Cent. Loan of 1841-42, above
No. 19,000, 1014 per cent.
Ditto below, 103 per cent.
Ditto Four per Cent. Loan, 1885-36, 1014 per cent.
Ditto Four per Cent. Loan, 1842-43, 1014 per cent.
Bank of Bombay shares, 33 per cent. premium.
Oriental Bank Corporation 90 per cent. premium.
Commercial Bank, 35 per cent premium.
Agra Bank, 50 per cent. premium.
cent.
Mercantile Bank, 24 per . remium. p
Since the departure of the last mail the market has
been unusually dull, and in piece goods no improvement
has taken place, except in the lower descriptions of gray
and bleached skirtings, Madapollams, and jaconets.
Tonnage is very scarce, and freights have advanced
materially, and 4/. per ton is now demanded for London
and Liverpool ;. to China we may quote 20rs. to 22rs.
per candy of cotton.
Exchange on England is steady at 2s. Old to 2s.
0 15-16 d. for China credits at 6 months' sight, and
2s. 14d. for local document bills. On Calcutta, the rate
is Bombay 1004 rs. ; per Calcutta 10Ors. at 2 months'
sight ; and on China entirely nominal at 231 rs. to 232r5.
per 100 dollars.
