COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, July 6

Business was not very actively resumed this morning.
after the holiday season, though in Stock and Money affairs
the feeling, if anything, is more cheerful than last week.
There is a demand for prime lists of mercantile paper at
6 to 7 months, as in date, 30 days to 6 months ,• and loans
on demand are made at 6 per cent. to the established Stock
and Domestic Exchange firms. There is also a demand for
Treasury Bills at par for the 51 per cents., of which the
Sub-Treasurer sold 350,000 dols. The Brokers are'retain-
ing the 6 per cents. at I per cent. premium. The export
engagements •of Specie—of which 200,000 dols. in gold
and silver came in to-day from New Orleans and
Panama—are less than anticipdted for the Persia to-
morrow. The amount entered at the ship's office this
afternoon is 744,000 dols. The remittances on account of
the July Dividends appear to have been mainly despatched
by the two steamers on Saturday last. The Kangeroo, for
Liverpool, if not the Ocean Queen, for Havre and South-
ampton, accepted a smaller freight charge than is usually
paid to the Cunarders. The terms for Exchange for the
present steamer are held firm and at the full Specie standard,
MI to 110 on London and 60 day's sight, and IIQ to
1103 for short sight. French Exchange, at sight, is rather
easier, f. 5.10 to f. 6.081 The business has been a fair one.
The mails by the Persia will, we understand, be assorted on
board by an extraordinary an.ent of the British Post-office
Department, to be readyvfor delivery immediately on the
arrival of the ship at Live.tpool. The distribution for each
considerable city in the United Kingdom, and for all the
prominent points of tho Continent, will also be arranged by
the same agent, to insure the least possible delay on the
other side. Mr. CVS4IID has caused a senerate apartment
to be fitted up in the ships to facilitate this new and con-
venient order from the British Post-office.

COTTON.
We take the following from Messrs. W. P. Wright and
Co.'s circular, dated New York, July 6
The sales in this market up to last Saturday amounted to
6,600 bales, the principal of which was done after the receipt
of the letters per Arabia on Friday morning. Prices gradually
hardened, and closed very firmly at 111 c for average lists of
middling Uplands, while even running parcels of middling
and upwards commanded more money, from their relative
scarcity, the bulk of our stock consisting of low middling,
downwards, with a good deal of stained and dusty cotton.
Monday, being the national anniversary, was a close holiday.
Yesterday there was little doing, but prices closed steadily at
our quotations. The total sales from the 27th ult. are esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, mainly for export to Great Britain and
the Continent ; the clearances during the same time have
been, to Liverpool, 2,548 bales ; Havre, 1,888 ; Gothenburg,
87. Total, 4,623 bales.
Corrox IN TRANSITIL-About 2,000 bales have changed
hands, on a basis of 113,c. per lb. for average Middling New
Orleans, add 11c. for Low Middling, with td. to 6-16 d. per
lb. freight.

By telegraph the following has been received :
NEW ORLEANS, JULY 2.—Receipts for the week 1,111
bales (net). Same week last year, 5,600. Sales for the
week, 7,600 bales. Middling, 11-Ic. per lb. Stock on hand,

same tenor, in representing the plant as healthy, and
promising very favorably, though somewhat behind the last,
in nearly all sections except Texas. At the latest dates, the
weather was highly beneficial, particularly in • the region
tributary to New Orleans.
RECEIPTEL—For the week, 8,000 bales, against 23,000
the same week last year. The total into the ports now
amounts to 3,631,000 bales. or 626.011 n 4,,

Expowrs.—By reference to the New Orleans market re-
port, it Will be found that corrections have been made there,
by which 3,899 bales have been deducted from the exports
to Great Britain and added to other foreign ports, to which
our tables are made to conform : the export to Great Britain
for the week, by the figures, is therefore only 9,000 bales.
against 38,000 the same week last season ; t.

The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the Ist September last as compared with the previous
four years.
