COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

REPORT ON THE STATE OF TILE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM

THE 2D TO THE 13TH OF MAY INCLUSIVE.

BOMBAY, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 13.—The Money
and Share Markets.—The money market is still tight,
and high rates of interest continue to rule. A consi-
derable portion of the bank notes stolen !rem the Ori-
ental Bank in February has been recovered, and the
police have great hopes of finding the remainder shortly.
Should they be successful, the circulation of the Bank
of Bombay will no doubt expand, and they will thus
have the means of being more liberal iu their accommo-
dation. We do not hear of any large transactions in se-
curities. The following quotations may be looked upon
as the market rates:—Back of Bombay, Rupees 20 per
cent. premium; Oriental Bank, 18i per cent. discount;
Commercial Bank, 14f per cent. discount; Agra Bank,
2 per cent. discount; New Fives, 1021; Company's
Fours, 93.

The business done in our import market during the
short period under review has been trifling. In the
export market there has been a conbiderable degree of
activity, and a fair business has been doing, chiefly in
cotton.
