COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
• Nve YORK, January 30.
Money continues in good demand, and the rates are well
supported. Exchange on England was in moderate demand,
at 10/1 to 1081 and 1081 per coat. Bills on France were
quoted f 5 20 to f 5 261.
COTTON.—There was a good demand for shipment at the
full previous prices, up to the 23rd ult., but since then the
market has been very quiet, and sales are with difficulty
effected, although, in consequence of the reduced gook, no
change in actual quotations can be noted. The sales are esti-
mated at 17,000 bales in the two weeks.
PROVISIONS.—The European news, per Africa and Baltic,
received last sVeek, had the effect to depress the provision
market still. more. The transactions for export consequent
upon the advicas from Europe have °been very limited, the
shippers being disinclined to operate under the present peace-
able feeling and unfavourable state of the money market
abroad. The greater part of the meats going forward are
shipped from first hands under advance.
BREADSTUFFS.—There has been little doing in flour, in
consequence ef the snowstorm which had prevailed. The
transactions were made at an improvement in price of 25c.
per barrel on the quotations a fortnight previous. Wheat was
in steady demand at previous rates. Indian corn was without
change. _ _

Freights were scarcely so firm, there being less activity. The
rates were : To Liverpool—for cotton, 7-33 d to id. per lb. ;
grain, 71d. to Sid. per bushel; flour, 2s. 66. to 2s. 9d. per bar-
rel. To Havre—cotton, ge. per lb. ; grain, nominally, 20c. per
bushel; flour, 70c. per barrel. To London—flour, 3s. 9d. to
4s. per barrel ; grain, 11d. to ls. per bushel.
