COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW Youx, AUGUST I.—The Money Market shows no
material change since our last summary. Capital is
abundant for 13gitimate basiness transactions. There is in
active inquiry for money in proiecutiou of manufacturing
and other enterprises, and investments in nearly all
branches of manufacture pay such liberal profits that the
demand for ficilities is rather more than the supply, thus
keeping the terms above the legal rates. Eight to 10 per
cent. is paid readily by those who have not the advantage
of bank accommodation.

COTTON. —We hive to note a steady spinning trade, at
15.1 e to 153 c for middling Upland and Orleans. Ttere
are many considerabh lots on the market which are held
for further advance, and the aspect of the market is one
of perfect confidence on the part of holders, and complete
resignation to their demands by the buyers.
BREADSTUFF3.—There is a fair export inqu'ry this
morning, and with a fair trade demand, some consider-
able degree of activity prevails at tail prices. The sates
include 1,200 Ms super. State for Spain, at 6 dols 40c and
1,000 hes common Ohio extra for the West Indies, at
6 dols 80c.

With legs r, ff -ring, the Wheat market was firmer, with
a moderate demand,—sales 9,000 bushels Milwaukie Club
at 1 del 411;c to 1 dcl 45c fir city milling, and 1 dol 48c
for prime shipping ; 2,100 bushels fair white Cenada at
1 dui 76c, and some small parcels of new Southern at
irregular prices. Prime new white Southern was held very
firmly, and fur one parcel 1 dui 91c was offered and 1 dol
95e asked.

CORN dull at unchanged prices.
Tam : There is a little more inquiry for Pig since- a day
or two, prices being a little easier. We quote Scotch Pig
30 dols 250 to 31 &As, with sales of 300 tons mostly at 30
dole 50e from vessel. Ihr iron is quiet.
PRovistom : The market
.to-day was quiet and firm in
the extreme, which in a great measure checks the con •
sumption. Mess pork is now generally held at 24 dols
and 24 dole 25a is freely offered, but not accepted. Prime
pork quiet at 19 dole 50c. Hogs-7-300 hogs sold at Bc.
for live we7ght. An offer of 81c for 10,000 dressed hogs
delive. ei in November and December has been made, but
holders are holding back in expectation of a rise. Cut-
ineats-40 hhds. barns and shoulders, in dry salt, sold to-
day at 1013 for shoulders and 11i3 for ham?. Beef—
There is considerable inquiry. but prime qualities are
scarce and bring full prices: We note freight engagements
of 1,200 tierces prime- mess to Liverpool, inclu ling 200
per Atlantic at 4s. Lard is very firm, and 400 brls. were
so'd at 15:1,3 as it runs. Butter and cheese present no
new fe •ture.
