The Cotton market closed firmly ; the sales werisei

The New York Money Market was becoming ill°l.°
active. Money was much more plentiful at abof,

money on call was 7 per cent. There was an ill:
creased demand for foreign bills, and the exchang„e'
were advancing. The latest quotations were 101
to 1091, being an advanca of per cent. on the las
prices quoted. The Corn Market continues stead,'
notwithstanding the immense quantities ccimingfo'
ward from the inland States. Should the suppli,,es
continue to be pushed forward it will be very dill'.
cult to sustain the present prices, Some larga
purchases have been made for exportation, btit
t
little will be done in this direction in the presenA
state of our markets, where great uncertainty all'
doubts exist as to the real .extent of the wants t
this country.

The Cotton market is said to have been active
and firm at former prices, but the business doll°
was not important.

The present position of the American None!'
market appears to be quite as anomalous as our
own. With the coffers of all the banks filled with
bullion, an immense surplus of produce , for e 5;
port, an increase in manufitcturing enterprise, and
a rapid cash demand for every article imparted'
money is almost inattainable, and every species 0'
stock and securities are depressed, and rule vela
little above panic prices. This we repeat is,'
most singular fact. How long it will continual
an important question for this country. It would
be premature to offer an opinion at this moment a 5
to theprobable turn the monetary affairs of tile
States may take, but after the arrival of anodic'.,
mail or two, we shall be able to anticipate event°
with greater certainty.

The London Stock Exchange though recovcrill
from the recent panic, is very far froth being
settled; and the business done is of a very specs;
lative character. Stock is said to be scarce. "'Pi
following is the result of the returns of the Banli°'

when compared with the previous week :

Theamount of notes in circulation i522,773,375i't

bullion in both departments is 15,612,5621., sholl'
ing a decrease of 68,2211.; when. compared
the preceding return.

The increase of £2,000,000 in the private secure;
ties show how great the pressure for money ho
been since the bank have raised their rates
discounts. It appears now by the smallnsss of the
public deposits, that the bank will, in all probab'l'e
be called upon to aid in the government in t''
payment of the dividends. If this should pr°la
~,
to be the case, a further advance in the bank's rg"to
may be expected, as the Treasuryhas apriorclaim a

In the railway market very little business
done to-day. Prices, however, show a disposit
to return to their former range.

Our market to day has presented no new feat
since the date of our last report. The transacti°d
in Cloth and Yarn have been limited; the redarg,
quotations, however, have brought more ordeac

tensive operations would be the result. The 0
cline which has been going on for several weelcseo
now to some extent arrested, and many buy
feel more confidence in operating, partieulaTtet,
