THE 'BOMBAY MARKET.

(Prom the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current .)
BOMBAY, DECEMBER 15, 1846.
The dulness which prevailed in our import market at the
close of our last issue has continued unabated throughout

the fortnight,

---i
The uncertainty as to the result of till

cutta opium sale, which then interrupted all legitimate busi-
ness, can scarcelyyet be said to be removed. Theannexedex-
tract from the Calcutta Star, of Dec. 1, will show the na-
ture of the measures adopted by the " sellers for account"
in the opium time-bargains to defeat the operations of their
opponents, and arrest the progress of the Government sale.
How far, however, the success of their plan may accom-
plish the object contemplated, and be legally sufficient
to quash the time-bargains in which they were involved,
seems to be a matter of doubt, involving legal questions
of no small difficulty, and which may give rise to litiga-
tion between the parties interested. Whilst, however,
there is still sufficient uncertainty existing in respect to
these matters to keep up in same measure the prevailing
distrust, and divert merchants from their usual and legiti-
mate dealings, a respite at all events has by the events in
Calcutta been obtained, and the impending serious con-
sequences, which we before wrote of, as exciting much
anxiety throughout our native mercantile community,
have been for a time averted. The account of these
events having, however, only reached us a few days ago,
there has as yet not been sufficient time for the excite-
ment connected with them to subside, and chiefly there-
fore in consequence of them there has, during this, as in
last fortnight, been but little business doing in imported
goods.
