COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE BOMBAY MARKETS.
REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS,
FROM 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.
