COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, Oct. I.—Since Monday night a strong gale
has been blowing from the S.E. to Er, with heavy rain ;
but as yet we hear of no disasters to the shipping in port.
There is at present a large fleet of outward-bound vessels
anchored off the North River, but they all seem to have
weathered the gale. Several cellars along the East and
North Rivers were flooded, owing to the.,high tide we had
on Tuesday morning

The students of the Uaion Theological Seminary are
going to call upon Colonel Fremont in a body on Thursday
next, October 2, at twelve o'clock. One of the students will
deliver a short addres

The stock market exhibits a strong, if not a buoyant
tone, except in Reading stock, on which special causes
are brought to bear. At the record board, yesterday after-
noon, prices advanced, and the buoyancy is stronger this
morning. Erie, of which between six and seven thousand
shares sold this morning, has advanced /to per
cent. Over 3,000 shares were sold at 624, buyers sixty,
and the cash was 62.3 at the board, with 621 bid at the
close.

FLOUR, &c.: The supply of western canal flour is larger, and
the demand more active, but prices favour the buyer. There
is only a moderate busines doing for export, owing to the
extreme rates demanded. The better grades sell better
than common brands. The sales are 6,000 brls at 6 dols
20c to 6 dots 60c for common to good State, 6 dole 75c to
7 dols for extra State, 6 dols 50c to 6 dots 60e for superfine
Indiana and Upper Lake, 6 dots 70c to 6 dois 90c for com-
mon to good superfine Ohio, 7 dots to 7 dole 25c for com-
mon to fair extra do, 7 dole 25c to 8 dols 25c for fair to
very good Ohio extra, 8 dols 75c to 9 dols for St. Louis
brands, and 7 dols 25c to 9 dots for extra Genesee.
MOLASSES : The market is steady, with sales of 100 hhds
Cuba Muscovado at 45c.

PROVISIONS : The market opened better, with a good
enquiry for pork, but at the close was quite tame and inac-
tive. Sales of 1,400 brls at 20 dollars to 20 dols 25c for
mess, closing at 20,dollars 121 c, and 18 dollars to 18 dols
124 c for prime.
NAVAL STORES : The continued difficulty of obtaining
freight has a depressing influence on the market, and the
export demand consequently has been checked. Spirits of
turpentine is in moderate request at steady rates ; sales of
150 barrels at 42c, including part from wharf, and small
sales for consumption at 42c cash. Crude is in better sup-
ply, but the market remains quiet, and prices are without
change.

SUGARS : There is not much doing this morning. The
transactions since noon yesterday amount to about 500
hogsheads, chiefly Cuba, at 8c to 813. Holders are very
firm in their demand.

MOFLOCCO.—The Epoca of Madrid announces, on authority
of a letter from Tangiers, that the Emperor of Morocco
has, authorised his Minister of Foreign Affairs to sign a
treaty of commerce with England, which it says will be
very important, as, among other things, it abolishes
monopolies. The Minister of Finance was said to be very
busy in preparing financial measures. The price of wheat
was still showing a tendency to rise.
GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—We are re-
quested to state, upon the highest authority, that. up to'
the present time, no emigration agent has been officially
appointed by the Canadian Government in this country.
We also understand that it is the intention of the present
Ministry, as soon as the necessary arrangements and
details can be completed, to propose an extensive and
liberal system of emigration—_a scheme which will, in all
probability, be found more suitable for the generality of
the emigrating classes in this country than the Free Land
qualities, and some practical experience,
Grants ; for, as we have pointed out, the latter require
certain physical
although, undoubtedly, there may be persons in the United
Kingdom who could successfully embrace this opportunity.
