COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
TILE BOMBAY MARKETS.
REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS,
PROM FEB. 14 TO FEB. 27.
Our Money Market remains in much the same state as
at the date of our last report. Business continues dull,
and money, except in certain quarters in the bazaar, is not
in much demand. Government securities have further de-
clined, and we also quote lower prices for most descrip-
tions of joint-stock shares, all of which are difficult of sale.
To-day's quotations are

Grey Shirtings, 38 by 40-inch.—Little or no change has
taken place in the lighter qualities of these goods during
the last fortnight. The heavier descriptions, from 81b. and
upwards, are very dull, and little or nothing doing. For
45-inch there is a light inquiry, and sales to a small extent
are made at the rates formerly quoted.
Grey Long Cloths, 36 yards and 40-inch.—A fair inquiry
exists for the lighter qualities, and sales are reported. An
improvement in value is expected, as the stock in market
is now getting light. The heavier descriptions are saleable
only in small quantities, and no improvement in value can
be expected immediately. 45-inch of 101 b. is in inquiry,
and saleable at 4 rs. 15 ans.
Grey T Cloth.—No material change has taken place in
these goods, some sales have been effected at a slight re-
duction in value.
Grey Domestics are quite neglected.
Grey Twills.—The same remarks apply.
Grey Cambrics.—The arrivals of late have been heavy,
and inquiry has been somewhat checked.
Grey Printers, 30 yards by 26 in. is saleable as before,
at Rs. 1 14 to 2.
Grey Madapollams continue saleable at the same rates
which were formerly quoted.
Grey Jacconets are without change, 8 picks and up-
wards are saleable at former rates.
Bleached Aladapollams sad Shirtings of the lower quail.
