COMMERCIAL. INTELLIGENCE.

Nrw YORK, July 16th.
MoNm—The market continued:to be freely supplied with,
money,with a fair demand;lenders havingno difficulty in placing
their funds. The bank .statement for the week ending July 14
shoWed an increase in the items of loans and specie. Foreign ,1
Exchange was firmer, but only moderately active; an
London were quoted 110 -to- 1101 ;. Paris 5,15 to 5,121; Ant-
werp 5,161 to 5,15; Amsterdam 401. to Ili; Frankfort 411 to;
41 ; Hamburg 361 to 36-1-; -Bremen 70-to 7911.
COTTON.—With an improved demand from spinners and
speculators, prices have again improved to the extent of
per lb., the whole advance from the lowest point on the 6th
inst. amounting to c. per lb. Some considerable parcels of
previous speculative purchases are in process of shipment to
Liverpool and the north.of Europe,-and there- are also buyers
in the market for the same purpose. After the receipt of the
Arago's advices, buyers withdrew, and the market closed with
a chill feeling and downward tendency.
Messrs. Talcott and Co., under date of-- New York, July 16,
say Pacific's advises of 29th ult.; from Liverpool, to
hand 11th inst., (noting sales of the week 43,330 bales at a
decline of Id. to id. in the beginning of the week, which was
fully regained at the close,) were considered favourable, as
:consumption was unchecked, and speculators evidently were
ready to renew operations whenever favourable opportunities
of investment occurred. About the same date as the receipt
of- the Pacific's advices =important reaction occurred in the
Southern markets. At New Orleans, on the 9th inst., mid-
dling was quoted at 91c: to 9tc., a decline of 24-c. per lb. from
the quotations of the 21st ult. Between the 10th. and 12th
inst., with an active demand, prices advanced 4e:.;: the value
of middling on the 12th being 101, and freight to- Liverpool
id. A similar movement occurred at Mobile and- Charleston.
At the latter, on the 10th, inst., "middling'_ was quoted at
and strict "middling" at 92x. A reaction here and at the South-
ern• markets was not unexpected after the rapid. and serious
decline, last advised, as having occurred-within the last thirty
days without any material change in opinion as to the pro-
bable supply or consumption. But the upward movement was
accelerated by the accounts received at various- points from
the interior that " too much rain was falling." While we do
not believe that any inbary of moment±as yet been done by
the rains which havefalleis, we incline.to the opinion that the
prospects of the growingerop are not as flattering rarepresented
aahort time since. The tables of receipts and steaks made up
to the- latest dates, show a deficit in the receipts at the• ports
of 119,464 bales ; deficit. in export to Great Bititairk 53,140
hales ; excess to France 96,959 bales.; stocks in all the- ports
193;254 bales, against 291,331 bales at the same period..
BumansTurrs.—Vvlth moderate receipts of flour there has
been a good demand: throughout, but - without any material
change in prices. 1n wheat no alteration either-as to price,
supply, or demand. The market for Indian corn. has been
slightly irregular, closing at a decline of 3c. to 4e: per bushel
from the prices of thiseNy week.
PROVIBIONS.—SaIes.of mess pork, were made-to a fair ex-
tent at $19,75, and. some choice at $2O. Bsef is steady.

the latter selling at.6c: to 92c.
