BOMBAY.
Maura. William Nicol and Co., of Bombay, state in their weekly circular of lht September with regard to freights that the depression continues, and that business has been brought almost to a standstill owing to the scarcity of cotton offering for shipment. "With . fully 80,000 tons of disengaged shipping in port, and viewing the supply of tonnage expected from home and elsewhere, although comparatively moderate, we can scarcely, look for any material enhancement in rates of freight for some considerable time. The steamer '<Jueen,| 3,517 tons register, guaranteed to ■team the whole voyage, was plsced on the Liverpool berth, for which port seeds and oatton were engaged at 20s »nd 30a per ton respectively, and the ' Victoria Cross,' ship, took a full cargo of cotton at 25s per ton."
