We have received details of Mexican news to the
18th ultimo. The names of the members of the
new Cabinet have been already announced by tele-
graph. It was expected that the proposition to
grant extraordinary powers to President Comon-
fort would be brought before Congress immedi-
ately. The principal feature in the Mexican news
is, as usual, one of crime. Robberies and assassi-
nations are more prevalent than anything else. At
Colina another revolt was anticipated ; at Tepic,
eighty bandits had been hung ; in the south,
Alvarez had defeated the insurgents ; in Yutacan
the revolution had spread ; the town of Tekax had
been soaked, and all its inhabitants slaughtered by
Indians ; and in Mazatlan the condition of affairs
is little better. The only survivor of the Crabbe
expedition had made in the latter place a state-
ment under oath of the history of that unfortunate
enterprise.
COMMERCIAL INTBLLIGEN t.lE._

NLw YORK, NOV. a

MONEY.—Our last advices were of the 27,h instant.
Since then it may be noticed that discouragement so
general in our market for the last two or three weeks,
begins insensibly to give way to a little more hope in the
future, without its being easy to specify the immediate
causes on which this change is based. The mechanism of
commerce, entirely at a stand, (thews some symptoms of
recovery. The negotiation of exc'eauge on Europe,
although very irregular and difficult, is, nevertheless, less
so than lately ; and the exchanges on the neighbouring
cities and the interior, the rates of which have but litt'e
improved are less nominal and begins to facilitate, though
very slowly, the payment from one place to another. The
absence of new transactions, and the forced liquidation
which must continue to take place in many branches of
business, will tend naturally to an accumulation of unem-
ployed capital. The first indications of a reduction in the
rates for loans ou call-with undoubted sscutities, are
already perceptible, The importation of about 1,500,000
dols. in specie, and the arrival on the 28th nit. of the
Persia, from Liverpool the 17th ult., whose news has been,
under the circumstances, regarded as rather reassuring,
ave produced a favourable effect on the Stock Market,
which has resulted in a marked rise during the two subse-
quent days. Although since then there has been, in a few
cases, a little retrograde movement, qaotatioas indicate
generally some- advance since last week. State Stooks :
Missouri 6's. hare been active and have risen, touching 691,
and closing at 68t; New York and Ohio, 6's. continue to
rise, with moderate transactions. Virginia have" risen 31,
per cent. In City and County Bonds very little has been
dune. We notice, however, some forced sales at private
sale, and at public auction of Milwaukee 7s (municipal) at
a decline, and of Brooklyn 6'a. at 731 to 77. St. Louis 6'e.
municipal, and Chicago (Water Loan) have been done at a
rise. Railroad Bonds—The various issues of the Erie Rail.
rood have been the mast active, with a very decided
advance, especially on those of 1871 and 1883. Illinois
Central constructions with less movement have fallen 6i
per cent. during the week. Railroad Shares; The transac-
tions remain limited and extremely moderate. The chief
business has been in Erie, which has risen 2; in Now
York Central, which has touched 66, closing at 64i; In
Panama, at an advance of 4t; In Reading, which has
touched 34, closing at 39/ ; in Illinois Central, which has
touched 81, closing at 81, and in Chicago and Rock Island,
which has advancal 21. Money is easier for short loans, at
7. The discount of paper remains very limited on account
of want of confidence. The rates are from 18 to 30 per
cent, DE COPPET & CO.
