BOMBAY, JULY 19, 1845.—Owing to the custoniarroai'let
pension of active commercial operations durirg the Soleil tar
Monsoon, we have, on the present occasion, bur few transaCt to
to record. or remarks to make, in reference to the state 0. of
market for imports. The fall of rain, since the setting Into
the wet season, though occurirg with long intervals, of jit,
weather, has been, on the whole, considerable, and the proir
of the agriculturist,: in the interior are cheering. ;,,t/ of
Metals—Very little business has been done in any var'—'oi,

tilers from Rs. 54i to Rs. 57, and raised bottoms from itto
to Rs 57 per cwt. The only transactions in copper of o'bi
we have been apprised consist of a Sale of braziers, at 11% d
per cwt., made towards the end of June—and one of 20 o'4

doing, our report comprising only two sales, viz., I tit
lot of square bar iron of very suitable sizes to Rs.. 3.010
candy, aod 84 tons of Swedish bar at Rs. 49i per candy.
have fixed the minimum quotation for British bar Its. 2rer
candy lower than la.t month ; in other descriptions there
no changes in price to record. Some steal, in fagetssto
been so.d vie hear, at Rs. 12i per cwt., and some
(Swedish) at Rs. 101,. The market is firm for all variellro
metals—particularly for copper, owing to the lightness 'Ng
stocks. The stock of British bar iron continues very be'
and tt.e prospects for it are not favourable. • tlig°
Cotton Manufactures-1 here has been nothing done la a
fabrics worth noticing, and our sale list is all hut a early

wou4d doubtless, even thus ea:ly, be made to some exte010:1
va/er,:. Parties, however, have remained firm, and tbe_,l
an advance on former rates has in some instances been off
