COMMERCIAL 11`;'IsELLIGENCE.
(From the Bombay Times.)
BOMBAY, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 6.
There is DO alteration iu the mosey market to re-
mark upon. The share market continues quiet, and the
following may be called the rates cf the day :—Bank of
Bombay, 194 per cent. premium; Oriental Bank, 12 per
cent. discourit ; Commercial Bank, 11 per cent. discount;
Agra Bank, 5 per cent. discount. The Oriental Batas
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, 99-; and for Company's
Fours, 8441; Transfer Loan may be quoted at 116 to
117; and Sicca Fours, 88k; in Sicca Fives we hear of
nu transactions.
Business in 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. Tlee aceounts 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 fur the home market. In
other produce little has been done.
Cotton Piece Goods—The market for pleats goods has
been duller during the past 'ortnight than it has been
for some time, and prices of nearly all descriptions have
fallen 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. 14a. Demand extremely dull.
In longcloths we have heard of no sales. Madapollems
—Sales, 6.000 pieces, at 2r. 11fa. to 2r. 12ia. 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 beiug one of 966 pieces, at lir. per piece.
Bleached goods have been almost totally neglected,
the only sales we have heard of being jacconets 400
pieces, at sr. 2a. to Bir., and 802 pieces lappets at
lr. to 21r. For longeloths of good quality a little
demand has existed—no sales, but the coarser descrip-
tions are uninquired for. The same may be said of
madspollams 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 3,350 pieces have been
sold at 2r. 9a. to Sr. 13a. A fair inquiry exists for
mulls, purple and bleached, and Turkey red starched,
low bock muslins, dboties, low lappets and lappet scarfs,
prints of suitable patterns, and dyed orange usadapol-
lams. For Swiss lappets of the better qualities, harries
mulls, book muslins, and orange and zebra dressess
there has been no inquiry.
Cotton yarn—The sales amount to3o bales mule and :ho
same quantity water twist, with 55 cases hall thread.
In eiyed 3 ern we have no salsa to report, though orange
is in some little demand. In the sales efficted a decline
in price has been submitted to.
Metals—Copper—Nearly all descriptions have de-
(lint d in value, except South American, which retains
its former price, but it is very dull. Iron— English bar
has further given way, while hoop and nailrod are dull
at former prices. Sheet has somewhat improved. No
transactions have taken place in Swedish bar on the spot,
but a sale " to arrive" has bud effect at previous quota -
rions.• Sweedish steel uninquired for. Pig and sheet
lead are in slight inquiry. Tin plates are steady, and
speller dull.
Cochineal—We have not heard of any salts, 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.
Spirits—Very little doing. The only sales effected
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.
Marine Stores—No sales. Canvas and cordage dull.
Oil of linseed, spirits of turpentine, and white paint, in
inquiry.
