COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NRW Yeas, MARCH 12.
The foreign advises received this morning per Ails
were considered favourable in I commere:al point of view,
and had a good elfeet upon our markets generally. Stocks
improved. Exchange on Europe was heavy ; billion Lon-
don sold at 1091 to 110/ ; Paris 6.171 to 6.181 ; Amster-
dam, 41 to 411 ; liamburgh, 36 to 361 ; Bremen, 781 to
78k. Since our last report there has been no change re-
quiring a flatle^ in the money market. 2he supply over
and above the regular wants of the business community
is large and increasing, and if the California
steamers to arrive bring anything near the esti-
mated quantities of gold, the price for money
will undoubtedly be much affected, and rule
lower than the rates now paid. Filot clam paper finds
ready sale at 6to 61 per cent. Money "on call" is so
abundant, that it is not an easy matter to place it at 6 per
cent. interest. Many of the banks have large surpluses,
and ;ere anxious to dispose of them at our minimum rater
for approved securities. We quote—First dust, endorsed
notes and acceptances, short, 6 per annum ; long, ti to G
per annum. First-class single names paper, 6to 7 per an-
num. Second-class endorsed notes and acceptances, short,
7to 8 per annum ; long, 8 to 9 per annum. Loans on
government and some stocks, 6to 8 per cent. Loans on
miscellaneous securities, 6 to 7 per cent. In uncurrent
money we observe more activity as the spring trade in-
creases. The rates, however, are steady and uniform.
GRAIN.—The market is rather firmer for wheat, the ope-
rations ere principally in red and white southern--6,0001
bushels of the formic brought 97c. to 99c., and 8,000 bushels
of the latter at 108 e. Rye is firm at 85c. ; within the last
mouth several sales have been made fur deliscry on the
opening of the river, at 76e. to 76e. for export, and on the
opening of the canal in May, at ille. to 71e. Barley is
quiet at 76e. to 80c., with sales of 800 bushels. Oats are
more Sri,, Jersey and River selling at 40c. to 41c., and
State, 45e. to 47c. Corn is in good supply and with a light
export demand is dull. Sales of Jersey white at 63c. to Ciale.
Southern white and yellow 63c. to 6.3 c. The export (ruin
this port from Ist to Oth March :
18.52. 1861.
Wheat 27,654 bushels. .... None.
Corn 20,684 bushels. .... 1,290 bushels.
FLOOR.—We have no material change to notice. The
export trade being en materially curtailed by the high
rates of freight, tee demand is mostly for home use and
Slattern order*, which are both quite limited.
Corrox.—The sales for the past three days were 10.200
bales. The demand still continues active, which holders
have freely met. We have no change to notice in our quo-
tations :
