BOMBAY.

(From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.)
BOMBAY, Nov. Is.—The business of the past fortnight,
though of course larger than that of the previous one—dur-
ing the greater portion of which the natives were occupied
in preparing for, or in celebrating, the Dimelle• festival—has
been extremely limited for the season of the year, and the
market has failed to exhibit the general animation usually
perceptible on the resumption of business after the holidays.
In some few articles of import, however, which happen to
be in demand, and the stocks of which are small, an improve-
ment of price will be seen to have taken place.
Metals—The prices of sheathing and brazier's copper, and
copper nails, have advanced to a slight extent since our last.
In British bar iron there have been several speculative trans-
actions, at rates varying from 28Mrs. to 30rs. per candy, and
30rs. at 31rs. is the price now current for the article. We
have heard of no sales in Swedish iron. British rod (round
and square), hoop, and nails, exhibit little or no alteration
in value. Sheet is about 4 annas per cwt. dearer than last
month. In steel and quicksilver there is no change of im-
portance either in price or demand, but tin plates have ad-
vanced half a rupee per box, and sales have been made in pig
lead at from 3 to 6 annas per cwt. below our last quotation.
Spelter is without the slightest inquiry, and our quotations,
therefore, are quite nominal.
Cotton Manufactures—The business done has been chiefly
in the higher qualities of grey and bleached madapollams,
shirtings, and jacconets, and the coarser kinds of grey do-
mestics. In some widths of the last-named fabrics an ad-
vance of price has, it will be seen, been realised. Bleached
shirtings, jacconets, and madapollams, of the finer kinds are
scarce and in good demand, and have impreved somewhat in
price. The middling qualities are steady, at the rates pre-
viously quoted, but the low ones—of grey. as well as
bleached—are extremely dull of sale, stocks in first hands
being heavy, and the demand slack. For jaceonets, checks,
and stripes, and satin spots and stripes, of tine quality, there
has been a steady inquiry. There have been few sales, how-
ever, in prints, or Turkey red goods, and zebra dresses still
continue wholly neglected.
Cotton Yarns—A good demand has existed for grey, and
prices of all the counts, mule and water, are fully maintained.
No. 20 water is, indeed, a shade higher than last month.
Turkey red and orange yarns are without change in value,
and we repeat our former quotations for them. The stocks
are of inferior quality.
Woollens—The market continues dull, and prices unre-
munerating.
Marine Stores—There are a few alterations in the prices of
articles under this head, pitch having declined somewhat in
value, while bleached canvas may be quoted 1 re. per bolt,
cordage 2rs. per cwt. dearer than before. Other items re-
main without change. The only sale of which we have been
apprised is one of 160 pieces of canvas, at 19 rs. per bolt.
Beer—Business continues at a stand still, stocks being still
large, while dealers are generally supplied. Quotations are
entirely nominal.
Spirits—The market is dull, and we have heard of no
transactions. We note a decline in the price of brandy,
which is now quoted at 23/4 rs. per gallon.
Red Lead—We have been informed of a sale of 50 kegs at
18 rs. 2 0 per cwt.
In other articles of imports we hear of no change, nor have
any sales been communicated to us.

EASTERN PRODUCE.
Cotton—We have a general advance to notice in the prices
of this staple, in consequence of pirchases having been made
for China. Broach and Surat are now quoted at 96,i5., Dol-
lers at 86 re. to 87 rs., Oomravruttee at 88 ra. to-g 2 i., and
Barsee at 84 rs. per candy. The price of Comptli temains
stationary. (7 -
Gums—Animi has advanced to the extent ofv-4vbcsit.ls,rs:
per cwt., and Arabic and Olibanum have also W:l4
proved in value. .
,
Hemp—The Concan variety is a rupee peritltarnlacer,
cpt
and the Calicut 2 rs. cheaper, than at the dak
In Ghatee there is no change. - v
Opium—Has declined from 1,430 rs., out:film
tion, to 1,415 rs. per chest, with every prospect of-a t riper:
fall.
Wool—The Korassan and Mekran varieties hive advanced
in value to the extent of 3 rs. to 5 rs. per caddy. %In the
others there is no change to record.

FREIGHTS.
The arrivals of tonnage during the past fortnight having
been extremely limited, freights to Great Britain have
slightly advanced, and may now be quoted at 31. 7s. 6d. a
3/. 103. to Liverpool, and 41. a 41. ss. per ton to London,
there being very little available tonnage for that port. A
vessel for the Clyde has been freighted at 31. 12s. 6d. To
China the rate is 17 rs. per candy.

MONEY MARKET.
There is little change to notice in the prices of Govern-
ment paper.
Exchange—Owing mainly to the change in the Govern-
ment rate of exchange on England, which we noticed in our
last, the mercantile rate has likewise risen. Transactions for
the mail have taken place at Is. Ild. to Is. Hid. six months'
bills, and we may now quote the latter as the current rate,
with every prospect of a further rise. Drafts at 30 days are
at ls. 101 d. Exchange on Calcutta is 99irs., and on Madras,
99rs.—at 60 days' sight.
Banks—Bombay Bank Shares may be quoted at 52 per
cent. premium, and those of the Oriental Bank, 220 rs. at 240
premium on shares of I,ooors. each--500rs. paid up.

ROYAL NORTH Or SPAIN RAILWAY COMPANY.—
In the advertisement of this Company which appeared in

cclled in England and France ought to have been numbered
from 18,331 to 55,000, and not as stated in error.
TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN.-011 Tuesday
morning, at ten o'clock, previous to Divine service, the
chapter-house of Winchester Cathedral offered a scene of
much interest upon the presentation of various pieces of plate,
in value about 170/., which was be subscribed for by many of
the clergy, and several of the most influential laymen of the
county, in token of the very effective services of the late
Chancellor, Dr. Dealtry, now Archdeacon of Surrey. The
subscription to the testimonial was limited to 1l
. the following
articles :—A handsome salver, with two smaller hand waiters,
a coffee-pot and stand, with sugar• basin and tongs, and cream
ewer, and four handsome candlesticks, with suitable snuffers
and stand. •
