COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
REPORT ON THE STATE 01? THE BOMBAY

MARKETS.

FROM THE 1.7T11 SEPT. TO 2D OCT., INCLUSIVE.
Bombay, Wednesday Evening, Oct. 2.
We have no new feature to notice in the Money
Market since our last. Rates of interest remain the
same. The Share Market continues in au inactive
state, but we hare again to record a slight advance in
rho prices of some of our joint stocks. The fol-
lowing are the quotations of the day:—Bank of Bombay,
191 per cent. prenaium; Oriental Bank, 11 j per cent.
discount; Commercial Batik, 10 per cent. discount;
Agra Bank, 6 per cent. discount. Government Securi-
ties have rasher receded, and we hear of New Fives being
sold at 994, and Company's Fours to 854, while Sicca
Fours are in demand at 881 per cent.
The market for imports has been comparatively dull,
and the value of many articles has declined a trifle, con-
sequent on the rather unpromising accounts of the pro-
spects of the crops in the interior, and the unfavourable
advices of the cotton markets last to hand from China
and England. In exports scarcely any business has been
done during the fortnight.
Cotton Piece Goods—The market has been compara-
tively dull for all kinds of piece goods for the reasons
given above, notwithstanding that holders bad somewhat
lowered their prices, in order to be enabled to take ad-
vantage of the extremely favourable rate of exchange
lately ruling. Grey goods—Jaconets have sold to the
extent of 14,300 pieces, at Rs. lf to Re. 2: 13 as per
piece. The demand has been dull, but prices remain as
before. Domestic Sales 1,600 ps., at Rs. 6: 5 as p.p.
These fabrics are in but little demand at present, but
maintain their prices. Long Cloths—Sales 1,660 pa.;
at Rs. 4: 13 to Rs. 74 p.p., with a tendency to decline.
Madapollams—Sales 7,450 ps., at Rs. 2: 3 as. to Rs.
3; 9 am. p.p. Prices have been with difficulty maintained,
and the demand is languid. Shirtings—Sales 11,450
ps,, at Rs. 3 : 15 to Rs. 6: 11 p.p. A decline of
one to two annas per piece on the prices
of 40 and 45 inch makes has been submitted to.
and the demand has been dull. T cloths are in little
inquiry, and the price has nominally given way 2 to 4
annas a-piece ; we have not heard of any sales. Bleached
Goods—Jacconets—Sales, 2,404 ps., at from Rs. 2 ; 9
to Rs. 4i p. p. The medium, and better descriptions
only are in demand, at former netts. Illadapollaing,
The only sale reported is one of 52 ps. 32 by 2 t inches,
at Its. 2: 5 as. p. p. Stocks moderate. Shirtings—
Sale 50 ps. only, at Rs. 611 p. p. The stock of 66 reed
and above is limited, while the inquiry is tolerably
brisk. Mulk-1,200 ps. have been sold at Re. 34 to R..
si p.p. Dry Goods—Little doing in Turkey red good,
bud rates have declined a shade. Fancy Goods—A fair
business has been done in Mulls—bleached, grey, and
purple, dyed madapollame, Turkey red starch mull:;, low
lappets, and lappet scarfs ; an they continue in de-
mand, while book muslinr, pine and zebra dresses ice.,
are uninquired after. ,
Cotton Yarns—Sales, 268 bales mule and 37 water
twist, and 10 bales Turkey red yarn. The value of
both the former has declined, owing to tie late heavy
imports. For orange yarn there has been no inquiry,
