THE BOMBAY MARKET.
(From the Overland Price Currant, of Nov. 1.)
BOMBAY, Nov. I.—But a limited amount of business
in imports has been done since the departure of the last
mail, as compared with the transactions of the preced-
ing month.
This is in a great measure owing to the prevalence of
the Dussurah, and the approach of the Dewallee holy-
days, which are just about to commence, and until tho
termination of which it is not likely that any activity Wili.
prevail. In prices there is little alteration to notice.

been effected, it N% ill be observed, at rates in advance
of those current at the date of our last number ; but for
most descriptions of metals the market remains dull, and
prices continue as before. In English iron there have
been very few transactions, holders being unwilling to
submit to further reduction in price, and dealers refusing
to purchase to any extent at the current rates. Stocks'
are large, and accumulate daily.
