NEW YORK MARKETS

MONEY MARKET, TUESDAY, SEPT. 20. The improve-
ment in money affairs continued to-day. The bank state-
ment is viewed as quite favourable. Call loans are very
freely supplied at 7 per cent. The banks are lenders in this
way, preferring it to time paper. Of the latter they make
discounts only to their most useful customers. The outside
rate of interest being so much higher than their own, they
do not feel called upon to discount promiscuously, as in
easy times. We find some evidences of a let-up in the press
of paper on the bill brokers. The rates are Bto 10 per
cent., on first class, and 10 to 12 on other safe names, but
not generally known as entitled to class prime. As re-
marked a day or two since, there is no more buying and
selling foreign bills to raise money. The regular bankers
had the market to-day for the Asia steamer, sailing at noon
to-morrow. Their terms are stiffer, say 1091 to 109 i.
Some transient bank bills were done in the forenoon, at
109* to 1091, but they are less abundant. The supply of
cheap produce Exchange, has fallen off, but as Flour and
Grain, and the freights upon these arc easier, the export
trade promises to increase in movement. Mercantile and
railroad engagements are being conformed to the altered
and clear rates of capital, and this tends to relief. The
single apprehension remains of the resumption of large ship-
ments of coin, before the new cotton crop comes forward.
This would not be so important, but for the continued
accumulation in the Government coffers, which, from present
signs, will show full $28,000,000 at the close of the month,
and no prospect of disbursement. The Stock market keeps
speculative. The Bulls have the present control in several
of the leading fancies. Erie Road reached 85 to 85k this
afternoon. After the close.of business there was a meeting
of the Directors of the company at their office, foot of
Duane-street, and a dividend of 3 per cent. cash, on Ist
October, declared. This is in conformity with the repre-
sentations of net earnings added to the dividend found since
July, though it is per cent. more than some parties
familiar with the affair supposed would be paid out in cash.
ASHES. —Pot have again advanced 12i cents, with sales
of 250 bbls. at $5, 75 to $5,874 mostly at the latter, the
closing price. Pearl are without change-50 bbls. brought

COTTON.—The market continues very dull, but we have
no change to make in our quotations. There is a reluctance
on the part of the buyers to operate beyond the supply of
their immediate wants, but, on the other hand, holders
maintain much firmness, notwithstanding the continued un-
favourable advices from abroad. The sales for the last three
days are 1,000 bales. We quote :

FLOUR AND MEAL.—The flour market opened with more
firmness on Saturday, with an increased demand for future
delivery, export and home use, but on Monday, after the re-
ceipt of the Arctic's unfavorable advices, there was an im-
mediate reaction, and low grades declined about 25 cents,
closing, however, with more buoyancy, owing to the slight
decline iu freights, .and a break in the Erie canal, which ma-
terially retarded the receipts. The more favourable private
accounts by the steamer, also exerted a favourable influence
on the market, and yesterday, with an increased demand and
light supply, it closed with a decided upward tendency. Our
notations, as revised, shew a decline of 12,1 to 25 cents since
Friday last. Canada has declined 121 cents, but, with a
light supply and good demand, the market closed firmly
—the sales are 2500 bbls. at $6,75, in bond, including 1000
bbls. to arrive soon. The sales of Domestic were—Saturday,
10,000 bbls. ; Monday, 12,500 ; and yesterday, 14,000.
The sales besides include 4500 bbls. good State, to arrive in

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

THURSDAY

Among the semi-official papers, the Pays still
endeavours to attenuate the importance of the last
intelligence from Constantinople--but the Consti
tutionel holds a
.different language. This journal
writes :

" The causes of the new situation in the Eastern
questiOn, are thus clearly indicated. That situa-
tion is not aggravated because Turkey modified
the Vienna note, but because Russia read the note
in the same sense as that of Prince Menzikoff.
If the chances of peace have diminished, it is not
because the Sultan labours under the pressure of
an over excited people—it is because the Czar puts
forth the same pretentions, and pursues the same
prgjects, .
When. the Sultan appeals to the protection of his
allies, it is not against a population which has
lately received him with every mark of respect.
When his allies respond to the appeal, it is not to
defend residents whose safety is not menaced. If
the Sultan- opens the Dardanelles to English and
French ships of war, it is because he has thought
the moment arrived to avail himself of the right
which the Czar has given him by violating the
treaty of Adrianople, which interdicted the passage
of the Pruth to Russian armies ; and the 'only
thought: :that occurs to us, in learning that France
and England have sent their fleets to Constanti-
nople, is, that those powers have felt it "to -be a
point of honour and duty to show by their acts
their deterinination to maintain the integrity of
Turkey, and equilibrium of Europe."

The- llioniteur gives the details of the Emperor's
visit to J3oulogne, with the usual stereotyped pas-
sage relativo, to the enthusiasm of the population.
The English address had been signed by about
four hundred persons, and was duly presented ;
and also one from the fish.women. The ball was
very brilliant, but in consequence of application for
tickets on the part of the trades-people. having
been refused, the illuminations at night were very
sparing. Their majesties left Boulogne at one
o'clock on Wednesday, and arrived at Amiens at
half-past five..

An extraordinary general meeting of the share-
holders of the Strasburg railway, was held yester-
day at HerZ's rooms, to deliberate on the conces-
sion of a variety of new lines. The directors pro-
posed to raise the capital from 125 to 250 millions,
by the issue of 250,000 new shares of 500 francs
each, to be • given to the present shareholders.
The first: call. would be 100 francs each, interest at
the rate of 4 per cent. would be given on the sums
paid up ;•• and the interest of the whole would
amount to 61 francs per share. These statements
ware received with great applause.
Letters from Berlin announce—" Mr. Brown,
the new American ambassador, has just arrived at
Berlin, with two secretaries. It is said that he
will shortly have to negotiate an affair very ,ana-
lagous to that of Costa. Mr. Henry Oensche was
condemned in the year 1849, to four years' impri-
sonment for offences of the press, but had escaped
to America in 1850, and became a naturalized
citizen of the United States. Having returned
to Hamburgh to regulate some affairs, he was ar-
rested and thrown into prison at Liegnitz, where
he has been for nearly a year. He has appealed
to. the American Embassy for protection.Con-
stitutionnel.

5 P.M-
It is reported that news has arrived from Con-
stantinople of the date of the 11th, and the
Sultan was firm on the subject of the modifica-
tions, and all are preparing for the impending
struggle. The fleets had not arrived.
Corn is rising in almost all the markets.
The mark et has been firmer to-day, and prices
