COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Bombay Times.)
BOMBAY, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 6.
There is no alteration in the money market 10 re-
mark
upon. The share market continues quiet, and the
following may be called the rates of the day :—Bank of
Bombay, 194 per cent. premium; Oriental Bank, 12 per
cent. discount; Commercial Bank, 11 per cent. discount;
Agra Bank. 5 per cent. discount. The ()dental Bank
has just declared a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per
annum. Government securities are rather dull, at—for
the Five per Cent. Open Loan, 996; and for Company's
Fours, 84;; Transfer Loan may be quoted at 116 to
117; and bicca Fours, 88A ; in Sicca Fives we hear of
no transactions.
Business is our import market during the past fort-
night has been less active even than during the period
reported on our last, and the sales effected have been to
a very small extent considering the season of the year,
which has heretofore been generally active during the
month of October. This state of matters will probably
continue till the termination of the Dewalee holydays,
which take place early next month. The amounts re-
ceived from the interior of the prospects of the harvest
have not been such as to encourage the native dealers to
speculate. In the export market considerable activity
has prevailed during the past week, and large quantities
of cotton have been purchased for the home market. In
other produce little has been done.
Cotton Piece Goods—The market for piece goods has
been duller during the past lortnight than it has been
for some time, and prices of nearly all descriptions have
falen to a greater or less extent.
(Grey Goods—Domestics have sold to an extent of
4,400 pieces, at prices varying from sr. la. to 12r. per
piece. They are in moderate inquiry by the Arab
dealers for dyeing, but the prices offered by them are
far from their real value. Shirtings—Sales, 1,150
pieces, at 5r.15a, to 6r. 6a.dull, and prices less by an anna
or so a piece than at date of last report. T Cloth—
Sales, 700 pieces, at 2r. 148. Demand extremely dull.
In longcloths we have heard of no sales. Madapollems
—Sales, 6.000 pieces, at 2r. 114 h. to 2r. 121 a. per piece.
For both these and jacconets a reduction in price has
been submitted to, but of the latter no sales have been
reported. Dhoties—ln small request, the only sale re-
ported being one of 966 pieces, at 11r. per piece.
Bleached goods have been almost totally neglected,
the only sales we have heard of being jacconets 400
pieces, at Sr. 2a. to Br., and 802 pieces lappets at
lilt*. to 24r. For longcloths of good quality a little
demand has existed—no sales, but the coarser descrip-
tions are uninquired for. The same may be said of
madapollams and mulls. Dyed and fancy goods—
There has been scarcely any inquiry for Turkey red,
good of the only sale reported being one of 100 pieces
twills at 11r. Of coloured prints 3,360 pieces have been
sold at 2r. 9a. to 3r. 13a. A fair inquiry exists for
mulls, purple and bleached, and Turkey red starched,
low book muslins, dhoties, low lappets and lappet scarfs,
prints of suitable patterns, and dyed orange madapol-
lams. For Swiss lappets of the better qualities, }mimes
mulls, book muslins, and orange and zebra dressess
there has been no inquiry.
Cotton y am—The sales amount to 30 bales mule and the
same quantity water twist, with 55 cases ball thread.
In dyed yarn we have no sales to report, though orange
is in some little demand. In the sales effected a decline
in price has been submitted to.
Metals—Copper—Nearly all descriptions have de-
clined in value, except South American, which retains
its former price, but it is very dull. Iron—Englith bar
has further given wsy, while hoop and nailrod are dull
at former prices. Sheet has somewhat imptoved. No
transactions have taken place in Swedish bar on the spot,
but a sale " to arrive" has had effect at previous quota-
tions. Sneedish steel uninquired for. Pig and sheet
lead aro in slight inquiry. Tin plates aro steady, and
apelter
Cochineal—We have not heard of any sales. but
the price has somewhat improved. Stocks still continue
very heavy.
Saffron—We hear of a sale of 775 lb. at 124 per lb.
The better quality is in tolerably good inquiry.
Woollens—The only sale reported is one of 3,312
yards flannel, at Ba. per yard.
Beer—Allsopp's continues steady at 80r. per hhd.,
and is very scarce. Of Bass's about 100 hhds. have
been disposed of, at 75r. per hhd.

have been in brandy, as follows:-90 hogsheads, at 2r.
5a.; 100 at 2r. 6a. per gallon: and 1,000 dozen cases, at
7r. per dozen.
