COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, August 14.
Moiirr.—The Bank statement for the week past showed a
very uniform movement in the items of loans, specie, circulation,
and deposits. It was thought that the enlarged loans would
add a stimulus to the importation of foreign dry goods. Ex-
change on Europe had a downward tendency, brought about
by the foreign demand for breadstuffs and -cotton, reduced
shipments of gold, &c. On Paris, Antwerp, and Frankfort,
the rates were firm. On other points the market was fully
supplied, namely, London, 60 days, 1092 to 1091 ; Ditto, short
sight, 1101 to 1101.
COTTON.—The market was firm, at previous rates, but the
transactions had been only to a moderate extent. Holders
declined selling at present prices. The sales for the week
were estimated at 7,000 bales. Uplands, very ordinary to
middling, Si-c. to 11ic. ; fair to good fair and good, 12tc. to
; Mobiles, Louisianas, &c., ordinary to middling, 9ic. to
llic. ; 'fair to good fair, 131 c. to 14c.
Messrs. Talcott, in their circular, dated New York, August
15th, state :—" The season is now approaching when the
crop accounts' will be interesting. Since our last, of 16th
ult., the fluctuations in prices have been unimportant. The
market has been sustained by the light stocks remaining in
this and the other ports of the United States, barely sufficient
to meet the daily requirements of a fair home demand, and a
moderate inquiry for export. The Baltic's advices from
Liverpool, of 27th ult., were more favourable than anticipated.
Holders have since offered sparingly, anticipating a gradual
improvement in the Liverpool market as the stock diminishes.
At southern ports the business doing, as is usual at this period
of the season, is very limited. The total receipts at the ports
of the growth of the past season will exceed the estimates of
May and June, and probably reach 2,825,000 to 2,850,000
bales, leaving in the interior fully 250,000 bales to be for-
warded when the rivers become navigable."
BREADSTUFFEL—The demand for flour was moderate, with-
out any material change in price. Wheat remained steady.
Corn was in good supply, and rates rather lower.
PRovisiows.—Pork was in good request. Beef continued
steady. Ohio butter 15c. to 18c., and State 19c. to 22c.
Cheese Bc. toinc.
