COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Bombay Telegraph.)
BOMBAY MARKET, OCT. 3.
There has been a fair amount of business transacted in
the import market since the date of our last report.
Piece goods have been sold on a large scale, but the de-
mend has been freely met by the holders. Metals have
been sold to a limited extent at about former rates.
Twist has slightly declined in price, as will be seen on
reference to our list of scales.
In the money market we have no alteration to report.
Government Securities remain the same, with the ex-
ception of the new Five per Cent. Company's Loan,
which has advanced to par.

In Bank Shares there has been little doing. Bombay
Bank Shares are now quoted at 33i per cent. premium,
Oriental Bank 12 per cent. discount, Commercial Bank
16 per cent. discount, and Agra Bank 14 per cent. pre.
mium. The shares of the Oriental Bank have changed
hands during the month at 15 per cent. discount, and
they have again advanced to the above figure, and there
are few sellers in the market.
Exchange on London may now be quoted 1-9 i to id.
bills drawn by the local banks. There are no other
bank bills offering. Local drawn merchants' bills are
offered at 1-9 to id., and bills with shipping documents
at 1-9/.
In freights no change has oecurred since the depar-
ture of the last steamer, owing to the discouraging ad-
vices recently received of the English markets for Indian
produce, more especially for our chief staple, cotton.
There are two vessels on the berth for Liverpool—one
of North American build, for which 4-5 at ss. are barely
obtainable, and the second of British build, loading at
C. The latter may be quoted as the rate for London.
Several ships have been recently taken up for China at
101 rupees to 101 per candy for cotton, and many first-'
