THE BOMBAY MARKET.
From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price

Current.)
BOMBAY, JULY 18.—. The, business transacted since
our last has been of a very limited and unimportant na-
ture, as is usually the case at this season of the year.
The monsoon continues favourable. In Bombay itself,
the fall of rain up to the present time has been consi-
derably beyond the average, while in the agricultural
districts, there has been, from all accounts, an ample
supply for the purposes of cultivation. Should this
satisfactory state of things continue, commercial opera-
tions will no doubt be resumed with spirit on the ter-
mination of the rains.

Metals—There has been a slight speculative demand
for some descriptions of these, and a few sales in them
have been effected by holders. In copper, braziers,
sheathing and raised bottoms, exhibit no change in
value ; a sale of the first-named variety appears to have
taken place at our quotation. Tile is nominally lirs. to
2rs., and American 2rs. higher than before. British bar
and rod iron have also improved in price. Considerable
transactions in the former have, we believe, had effect
at 31irs. and 3Ors. 14ans. per candy : the latter price
having, as we hear, been accepted during the last few
days for a parcel f 700 candies, probably of an inferior
assortment as to sizes. Our present quotation is 31rs.
to 31irs. for fair assortments. We are informed of a
sale of 620 cwt. square, and 400 cwt. round, nail-rod, at
47krs. per candy, and a transaction in square :alone, at
this same price, has, we hear, taken place, though not
communicated to us for pablication. Swedish bar is
said to have been disposed of at 50rs. Sheet and hoop are
both nominal in value, nothing appearing to have been
done in either. Some considerable sales of steel in tubs
are reported to have been, made, at prices ranging be-
tween 9rs. 14ans. to lOrs. per cwt., and we give the latter
rate as the quotation of the day. In lead the only trans-
action which has come to our knowledge is a sale (made
to Government) of 275 cwt. pig, at lOrs. Hans. per
cwt. The market price, however, is only lOirs. as
quoted. Spelter has somewhat declined in price, as will
be perceived from our quotations. Both quicksilver and
tin plates may be considered unchanged in value.
Cotton Manufactures—The business in cotton piece •
goods continues almost wholly suspended, the only in-
quiry being for fabrics that happen to be wanted fur
local consumption. We are informed of a sale of apo
pieces of grey madapollams, 24 yards by 33 inches, at
3rs. 2ans. per piece ; and some white shirtings are also
said to have been disposed of at a slight advance upon
previous rates. Beyond this, so far as we can learn,
nothing has been done; and the feeling in the bazaar is
unusually dull for the season.
Yarns—We hear of no transactions either in mule or
water twist, and prices are quite nominal. Turkey red
yarns are still neglected ; but for orange there has been
some inquiry ; and llians. per lb. has been refused for
No. 40's.
Woollens are quiet unchanged in value, and no sales
in them have taken place.
Marine Stores—There has likewise been no alteration
either in the price of, or demand for, the articles under
this head.
Beer—We are apprised of sales of " Allsopp's" to
, at 60rs. per hogs-
dust 500 hogsheads of
of at the same rate. This

Spirits—We hear of no transactions ; but gin has
again declined in value, and a very large quantity of
brandy is held in stock by importers, which will keep
the price of that article down for some time to come.
Red Lead—Has slightly improved, whilst white has
receded in price. There appear to have been no sales to
any extent.
Cochineal—We have reduced our quotations for this
article, some parcels of it having, as we hear, changed
bands at 3rs. 3ans. per lb.
Bottles—Quarts are unchanged, but pints have some-
what declined in value. We are informed of a sale of
100 gross of the former (Liverpool), at 18 annas, and 265
gross at 17 annas per dozen.
