MONEY MARKET.

YOWDAT
The advisee from the United States, received by the
nail steamer Hibernia, extend to the 26th from New
York, and to the 28th from Halifax.
With refs:saes to the grain crops throughout the
States, the &mouth generally are very favourable
and confirmatory of those previously to hand. In
Michigan, Indies', Illinois, and Wisoonsio, the wheat
was being eat and promised an abundant crop
of excellent quality. Little is mid about the cotton
crop, and the news from the growing districts is very
scanty. A Baltimore letter of the 22nd states that
the overflows in different sections of Louisiana had
entirely receded, and the accounts of the growing
crope.of mitten, cern, and sugar were very satisfactory.
A senses hurricane on the 17th and 18. h had de-
vastated the coma from Philadelphia to New York,
destroyingrp many lives and much valuable property
and ski son the seaboard.
At
New
York the cotton market wu firm, and full
prices had been paid for several parcels, owing to the
accounts received from Liverpool by the Atlantic,
which had given much encouragement both to @hip-
per, and speculators. For flour there was rather more
iniand, and 20,000 barrels had been engaged for
Limszl. The receipts, however, were larger than
bees ter SOLO time, and were in excess
Aims regular demand. In dry goods a fair aisseist
of business had been done, as will be seen from the
following table, eh swing the week's transactions:

The balance in the sub-treasury exceedrd four mil-
lions of dollars. Bills on England were rather more
plentiful with rather less demand, causing the rate of
exchange to decline to 10 to 101 for good bills. The
total exports of specie to all parts were for the week
514.135 dole., for July 1,553,456 dole., and since the
lit January to date 4,007,066 dols. This moderate
drain of specie, even if continued, was not expected
to exercise the slightest influence on the money mar-
ket, as the receipts from California far more than
supplied all commercial wants. Money continued as
abundant as ever, and the banks found difficulty in
employing their depostts. The rates of discount, how-
ever, remained as last quoted, 4i to 6 per cent. for
first clan bills, and 4 to 5 per cent. on call on first
class stocks. The last quotations for pubto securities
were the following :

Account' bad been received-from Guatemala to the
10th ult. Several petty chiefs had been assassinated
by their own followers. The Statesof Salvador, lion-
duns, and Nicaragua, are bent on the project of
forming a federative union. Delegates have been
appointed by the legislatures to represent the States
in the general government. The States of Guatemala
and Nicaragua still held off, and a hot discussion was
carried on in the papers concerning the possibility of
re-establishing the union. The Tehuantepec
.treaty
with Mexico has been completed by the efforts of
Mr. Leteher, the United States minister, with pro-
visions similar to those of the Nicaragua treaty, and
enabling the citizens of the United States to build a
railroad between the Atlantic and Pacific, which will
bring New Orleans within twelve days travel of San
Francisco. The treaty was concluded on the 24th
of June, and has been despatched by a special mes-
senger to the seat of government at Washington.
The West India Mail Steamer Dee has brought on
merchants' account specie to the value of 1,400,813
dollars, or about 280,1631. sterling. The dates from
Jamaica by this opportunity are of the Bth July, but
the Crescent City, arrived at New York. has brought
advice, a week later, the accounts from Kingston ex-
tending to the 15th. The session of the Legislature,
which commenced on the 25th of June, and closed on
the 2nd ult. is described as having been remarkable
for the good feeling which prevailed among the mem-
bers. The immediate cause of assembling was the
impracticability of raising the loan contemplated by
the act of the previous session, for the purpose of
meeting certain island certificates which had become
due or would become due during the present year.
In the expectation that the home government would
guarantee the loan proposed to be taken up,
the rate of interest was fixed at 4 per
cent. ; but in the absence of that guarantee there
we. no prospect of the money being obtained
t the rate fixed, and hence the necessity for obtain-
' i::g the consent of the legislature to the payment of a
higher rate, not to exceed six per cent. One new
feature which has been introduced into the bill is,
that it vices the holden of the present island certifi-
cates the security of a permanent act for the interest
and principal of the seam, whereto, heretofore, they
had only the security of au annual act for the interest
upon them. Another measure was also 'passed re-
ducing the security to be given by the Receiver-Ge-
teral lrom 60,0001. to 40,0001., after which the legis-
lature was prorogued. The island was healthy and
quiet. Some parts were suffering from dry weather,
whilst others had been favoured with copious showers.
The sugar market was steady, and there was a fair
demand for the article at 13s. to 16s. per 100 lbs.
Rum was unaltered in price, with few wholesale
buyers. Vessels had soddenly become vane, and
tonnage was consequently wanted. Several vessels
had been taken ue at 56a. to fibs. per ton. Exchange
on London, Jamaica Bank, 30 days, a per cent. pm.;
ditto, Colonial Bank, 1 per cent. pm.
The anoints relative to the crops received from the
other West India colonies are almost universally
good, the weather of late having been particularly
favourable. The cocoa crop had commenced in
Trinidad, but was not expected to be above the ave-
rage of last year. The estates were tolerably well
supplied with labourers. Cotton cultivation is about
to be commenced in Antigua. In Dominica several
planters have commenced planting the cotton plant
on old coffee estates in various parts of that island.
At St. Lucia some alarm had been excited by the
discovery of a plot amongst the labourers for gain-
ing possession of the government, and committing
depredations upon property. About twelve of the
suspected parties, however, had been arrested by the
authorities, and at the departure of the packet no
apprehension was entertained that the peace of the
colony would be disturbed by the promoters of this
wild scheme.

By the Psoiflo mail there are acoounts to the 30th
May from Valparaiso. The import business during
the month bad improved, and isles of cotton goods
had been made at a trifling advance in price. This
improvement had been brought about by the fall-
ing off in the exports from this country, and the
higher limits sent out for the stocks which might be
on hand, as will as for the fresh supplies now on their
way. Linens are difficult of sale, and woollens of
every description were almost a drag in the market,
with the exception of Alps= bistros, which from
being scarce commanded Hill pnoes. The stook of
coals had been bought up on speculation at 7 to 8
dole., and several floating cargoes at 8 to 10 dole. for
Panama and San Francisco. Saltpetre was held at
16 to 18 ris. The arrivals daring the month
amounted to 30,604 tons, and the departures to
27,469 tons. Freights, owing to the large competi-
tion, wore low, but as high as 31.105. had been paid
fur saltpetre to a port in Groat Britain. Comer we.
quoted 14.76 on board; and the exchange on London
461 d.

By a deem in date of 22nd May, it is enacted
that in future vessels telling at any poet of the re-
public for provisions and water on their way to Cali-
ftsia or elsewhere, shall not be compelled, u
hitherto, to deposit the ship's papers at the custom-
house, provided the masters of such @hips give notice
in writing on their arrival to the excise officer, that
no Fart of the cargo is intended to be landcd in
Chili. In the event, however, of the captain requiring
to land part cc the whole of his cargo, he will be at
liberty to do so within 48 hours after his arrival, but
in this cue he must present his manifest at the
custom-house.

The accounts from Bolivia represent the republic in
a state of excitement. Numerous arrests had taken
place in Ls Pas in consequence of the discovery of a
conspiracy ; it was reported that the conspirators are
to be tried by court-martial.
The silver and copper mires of Capiape continue to
yield largely, a detailed account of which will be
round in our miniog intelligence.
