Exchange- on London has been in good demand,
and the supply -'of Bills offering has been pretty
equal to the demand;- still rates • have remained
firm at 100.1,and Bankers' Bills at 110. The steamer
of today carries about one million dollars.
In breadstuffs since last advices we have had. a
.somewhat steady demand, without much change
in prices. On -Wednesday the market opened dull,
and sales were mostly for home consumption.
Canadian was moderate, at $7 per barrel. Southern
• Unchanged in price, and in demand moderate. On
Thursday, common brands to a fair-extent were
selling, but holders were compelled to slacken
prices in order to •realise. Southern was without
change, and little offering. Wheat little doing;
price rather in-favour of the buyer.
On Friday the market for wheat and flour ex-
hibited_ some change under the Niagara's news
received via Halifax by telegraph. Flour became
dull ; and to effect sales, a decline of 61 cents was
submitted: to. Wheat was held firmer, at slightly
improved prices.
The cotton market has been heavy during the
past week, but without material change in price
since Monday last. The sales the past three days.
have been small; but no quotable reduction in rates '
is visible. Sales yesterday were made of 2,816
bales. Fair Mobile and New Orleans, at 114 for
the former, and 114 to 12-1 for the latter.
The firm of N. Cunningham & Co., Boston, mer -
chants, failed. yesterday. Liabilities reported at
150,000 dols. They were extensively engaged in
the California and Australian trade.

In reference to • the steamer Humboldt,
New York Tribune of the 9th instant says
iB'full of water, and there is no prospect of gett,
her off. The steamship Marion, of the Chariest°,
line, has been chartered by the underwriters to
proceed to Halifax and receive on board whatever
cargo may be saved from the steamship Humboldt,
and bring-it to this port. She is to leave at nine
o'clock this morning, and will take round with.
her three steam pumps, and all necessary wreck-
ing apparatus . used in getting vessels afloat,
as well as several men versed in the wrecking
buSiness, to give necessary instructions, and aid,
if possible, in floating the Humboldt. The latest
dispatches frOm the vessel state that 120 cases of
gOods had been landed, also the cabin furniture.
The flowing in and out of water continued. If the
weather proved tine, as it then was, most of the
cargo Would be saved—damaged ; but there was
little hope of saving the ship; pumps would be of
service, but none there were there. It is supposed
that should the wind continue to blow from the
south until the arrival of the pumps, she would be
freed from water, and taken up'tb HaPfax ; but
should it change to the eastward, nothing can save
her. Her cargo is estimated at $lOO,OOO, which is
heavily covered, both in Wall street and in France:
We learn of an insurance on the vessel to-the
extent of $70,000, $40,000 of which falls to Boston
companies.

NEW YORK MARKETS.—SEPT. 10.
MONEY AND STOCKS.—Money was rather more easy, at
previous rates, and there has been more disposition to take
good paper at the legal rates, while the range is 9 to 10 for
choice signatures, in the street, and 12 to 15 for unknown.
The money offering at call is greater, and many of the stock
houses decline it over 5 per cent.
The Exchange market has been dull this week, and the
rates for the packet closed dull at 91 to 91; francs, 5.15 to
5.122 ; good bills are held at less rates, however.
The Stock Market has been very flat during the week.
There seems to be.next to no demand for stocks, and little
disposition to sell—a state of affairs not inconsistent with
abundance of money, and the approach of the holidays. It
is undoubtedly the case, that the market is oppressed with
the considerable quantities of railroad bonds and mining
stocks, that have been put upon the market during the past
year. Of the former, considerable stocks remain pledged
for loans, which cannot be got in until the market becomes
again active ; and mining stocks, of no value whatever, have
been thrust upon the market remaining dull, and every day
losing their vitality, for want of any intrinsic value.

•FLoult, AND MEAL.—The market for Western and State
flour, under the influence of unfavourable news from Europe,
has ruled in favour of the buyer since Wednesday last, and
at some concession on the part of holders, the transactions
were
.quite large until yesterday, when the sales were limited,
operators preferring to await the receipt of their letters by
the Niagara from Boston before concluding extensive con-
tracts. The absence of an adequate supply of desirable
shipping brands, also contributed in some degree to limit the
transactions. Our revised quotation show a decline of 61-, d
to 18i cents since Tuesday last, the market closing firmly
and with steadiness at the decline. Canada Flour, with a
better supply and fair inquiry, has received 12 cents, with
sales of 6700 brls , the market closing heavily at $6,874 in
bond. The sales of domestic were : Wednesday. 22,000;
Thursday, 20,000 ; and yesterday, 11,800. We

GRAlN.—Wheat has continued in good. demand, mainly
for export, and with a light supply of prime, previous prices
are supported ; the common quality are relatively more
plenty, and comparatively less active. 'Yesterday the trans-
actions were not so extensive as on the two preceding days,
dealers generally -.king anxious to receive the private ac-
counts by the Niagara before operating very extensively;
at the close, however, there was a. good inquiry for com-
plete cargoes--the sales included 40,700 bushels common to
prime white Canada at $1,60 to $1,72 ; 2,500 red do.,
$1,60 in bond : 5,200 ordinary to choice white. Genesee, $1,75
to $1,80; 22,500 common to prime white Michigan, $1,68
to $1,75 ; 10,600 good white Ohio, $1,65 to $1,65#; 3,600
