THE BOMBAY MARKET.
(From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.)
BOMBAY, JAN. 15, 1847.—The market for imports has
been unusually languid during the past fortnight. No change
in prices can be quoted, but neither have there been transac-
tions to any extent. There is still no appearance of Mar-
warrie purchasers in the market.
Metals—ln these no sales whatever are reported to us ex-
cept one of Raised Bottoms at rs. 60 per cwt. Quotations
otherwise are stationary.
Cotton Manufactures—Few sales, as we have just remarked,
have been effected of Cotton goods since the departure of
the last mail. The state of the Manchester Market,
as reported by the last advices, is such as to make
holders very reluctant to realise at the prices now current
here; and while purchasers are offering daily lower and
lower, the continued advices of advance in the English
markets dispose sellers to look for a result quite the reverse
—an anticipation which is confirmed by a knowledge of the
' check given to production in the manufacturing districts,
by the "short time" movement (which many are of opinion
would become general during the winter months), thus
strengthening the chances of a very material enhancement of
the cost of next season's imports; and warranting the expec-
tations that a little firmness on this side would even now have
a beneficial effect on prices.
Cotton Yarns.—ln these the following sales are reported :
—No. 20, 4,5001 b. at 6% annas per lb. No. 30, 4,5001 b. at
75,:2 ditto. No. 40, 2,000 W. at 8 ditto. No. 50, 9001 b. at 9%
ditto.

Spirits—We are informed-of a sale of 18 hhds. of Brandy
at Its. 3i per gallon. Quotations otherwise are for the most
part nominal.
Marine Stores—No sales, and quotations stationary.
Saffron—The stock in hand of this article appears to be
of inferior quality, of which a sale of 1301 b. at rs. 7 per lb.
has been reported to us.
Cochineal—ls quoted at re. 44 per lb., being an advance
on last quotation of 4 annas ; no sales reported.
EASTERN PRODUCE.
Cotton—This market has been in a very excited state
since the receipt of the last accounts from England, but the
great rise in freight has alone checked the upward ten-
dency of prices, The cotton now in the market is,
however, all inferior, notwithstanding which purchases
have been made at an advance of fully five per cent. on
previous rates, or, taking the quality of what remains into
account, of probably ten per cent. or more. The rise in
freight of itself is equal to an increase of the cost of the
article of nearly id. per lb. There is now very little left for
sale of last season's crop, and the earliest arrival of the new
cannot be looked for before the end of next month. Con-
tracts for it—Oomrawuttee at 85 rs. per candy, and Broach at
95 rs. —are being negotiated. Quotations, therefore, stand
thus :

Coffee—We have heard of something doing in this, but
have had no sales reported.
Opium—This article has declined in price owing to the
unfavourable accounts from China ; purchases have been
made at 1,115 to 1,135 re., but buyers now refuse to give
more than 1,100 rs., which may be considered the market
value of the day. Much difficulty is experienced in testing
the genuineness of the article now often brought into the
market here.
Wool—The rise in freights appears to have checked pur-
chases in this article, and stock is accumulating, with a
slight tendency to decline in prices.
Freights—These to Great Britain have risen greatly since
last mail left; first to 51. per ton, then to 5/. 55., at which
they may now be quoted. Quotations to China remain at
10 to 12 re. per candy nominal.

MONEY-MARKET.
This remains easy, but the distrust prevailing in connexion
with the late opium speculations has not yet entirely sub-
sided. Subscriptions to the Government Five per Cent.
Loan have been so liberal as to lead to the anticipation that
it will soon be closed. The rates of discount and interest
charged by the Bank are reduced as follows :
