BOMBAY NIARKE I'.
STATE OF THE AIARKET.—BOMBAY, Nov. 14.
The cotton pit ce-goods market Q.ntin ties without much
animation, but as holders appear disposed to move off
their stocks, the amount of business done during the
week, is fully equal to, if not larger than, what we re•
ported in our last.
Yarns—There has been some inquiry for first quality
mule, and 85 bales, each 2001 b., have been sold at 64 as.
for No. 20, and 71, as. for No. 30. Common qualities are
rather dull, and we do not alter our former quotations.
Saffrons-2001bs. of best quality have been sold at 184
rs. per lb., and 401 b. of inferior at 12 rs.
Metals—The market continues quiet. We have but
one sale to report--35 cwt. of tile copper at 3l rs.
Cochineal is in good demand. We hear that 31 rs.
per lb. for silver has been refused.
Beer—Allsopp's is in good request. We have to re-
port a further sale of 33 hhds. at 66 rs. Of Bass' we
have heard of a sale of 6,000 dozen, Bombay bottled, at
2/ rs. per dozen quarts.
Cotton—The 'market has been very active, and prices
have further advanced. There have been several pur-
chases made for both England and China,
Bales. Rupees.

The following are the quotations of the day:—Broach

lerah and Bownuggur, 74 to 77 rs.; Compta, 60 to 70 rs.;
Mangarole, 64 to 65 rs.
Freight—We have heard of engagements for Liver-
pool at 31. 15s. to 3/. 17s. 6d.; the latter rate has been
paid for a going vessel. To China the rate has ad-
vanced to 12s. rs. per candy, which is freely offered. As
yet no vessel has accepted this rate; we look, therefore,
tbr further advance.
Exchange—During the week large transactions have
taken place at 2s. per rupee, six months' sight, in the
first-class China paper. There is yet a large quantity
in the market, and bills are now lieely offered at 2s.

EXCHANGE.—Notwithstanding the heavy remittances
received from home by drafts on the Treasury during the
month of October (about Company's rupees 7,500,000),
exchange has continued steady at from ls. 11d. to Is.
11/d. at ten months' date, and ls. 104 d. to ls. 1 lid. at
six months sight. Operations for the present opportu-
nity have, however, as yet been moderate, neither draw-
ers nor buyers showing much anxiety to operate at cur-
rent rates. '
MONEY MARKET.—We have no change to notice in
the position of our Money Market within the past fort-
Light; neither in the value of Government securities or
Bank stock .
