COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, DEC. 30, 1856.
The money market is stringent, and the demand is active,
at 7 per cent for short bans, and more than that has been
paid. Paper 10 to 14, according to class and length. The
amount done in exchange has been large, without material
change in the rates. On London bills are done at loBi to
1081. COTTON.
The demand has continued unabated throughout the four
business days of the week ending yesterday, and prices have
further advanced lc per lb, and closed firmly at my quota-
tions. The sales I estimate at 10,000 bales, and is princi
pally for export to Great Britain. The clearances for the
week have been—to Liverpool, 2,930, and Glasgow, 334
bales.

STOCK IN NEW YORK.—The price current in this city in
their last statement, places the stock in New York at 70,600
bales. I am satisfied that 50,000 bales is an outside esti-
mate, and conclude they have not allowed sufficient for
cotton received here from the South on spinners' account,
and forwarded direct to the mills. I adopt 50,000 biles as
the probable stock on hand, including all on shipboard not
cleared. The amount of offering stock, at this moment,
does not exceed 10,000 bales.
CoTroN IN TRANSITU.—The more favourable accounts
i,om Manchester. per Canada, caused more enquiry for
afloat. The prices paid show an advance on last
week's qu,.ations of fully to per lb. I now quote 123 e for
middling, 121 e. strict low middling, and 12c for good
ordinary, on the basis of 17-&i freight. Mobile ale per
lb below these rates. Of Uplane4 there are no samples.
Oar stock of transit cotton is now very small.
SOUTHERN MARKETS have been actpre, and prices have
advanced, as particuralized in reports, frtm each. Still
higher rates are reported by telegraph as follows :
New Orleans, December 27 : Receipts for the week,
75,000 bales ; same week last year, 76,000. Sales for the
week, 45,000 bales. Export to Liverpool, for the ‘-eek,
15,000 bales ; Havre, 12,000 ; stock on hand, 340,000.
Liverpool Middling, 121 c per lb. ; New Orleans Middling,
12ic ; Freight to Liverpool, 19 32d per lb.; Havre, 1/c.
'Voisin's, December 27.—Receipts for the week, 36,000
bales ; same week last year, 30,000. Sales for the week,
15,000 bales. Expert to Great Britain, for the week, 1,800
bales. Middling, 1 lie per lb. Freight to Liverpool, nom-
inal, at 19-324 per lb.

Cnor.—There is no new feature in regard to this matter.
The estimates rule below 3,000,000 bales, notwithstanding
the heavy receipts at the ports ; had the receipts been less
excessive so far, very low estimates would have been indulged
in, and a dangerous speculation created.
RECEIPTS for the week under review are to the same extent
as in the corresponding week last year The deficit in the total
remains therefore the same as last week, 48,000 bales. Next
week will be a large week, as we learn by telegraph from New
Orleans that in that port 75,000 were received, and at Mobile
36,000 bales. The total, however, for all the ports will not
materially exceed those of last season, since during the corres-
ponding week of last year they were also very heavy. It is
improbable that any very marked diminution in receipts will
show itself until after the middle of February; at that time,
however, a very decided falling off will take place, as compared
with last year, for during the eleven weeks following the 13th
of February, 1856, the receipts into the ports amounted to
1,155,000 bales.

, Exports are still delayed, to Great Britain particularly, the
decrease, as compared with last year, being 166,000 bales,
and as compared with 1852, 235,000 bales. Next week will
shew a further considerable deficit, as the clearances reported
by telegraph to 27th instant from New Orleans are 15,000
bales, and flow Mobile 1,800 bales. During the corresponding
week of last year, the total from all the ports was 53,000 bales.
France is getting her full share, the week's exports bein
1.1,000 bales. The Continent of Europa also is securing a fair
Amcuut, being for the week 19,C0) bales. The stocks on
baud are increasing at the port, ; as yet no inconvenience has
been felt by ti.p accumulation, money being plenty and cheap
At New Orleans, an, factors having confidence in a still higher
fan of prices.

RECEIPTS.—The decrease at the ports compared with last
-zr, is 4.4;1,000 bales. EXPORM—Decrease to Great Britain,
ieo,ooo ; c0mp...4 with 1852, 235,000 ; France, 40,000 ;
increase,
Compared wiu, 1352, 43,000 ; decrease to other
foreign ports; 36,000 • increatu compared with 1852, 15,000
tales.
FREIGHTS.—The temporary scarcity of ships up for Liver-
to get 346 to 7-22(1 per lb. for
pool, has enable d ship owners'
cotton engaged during the past we.7.lf.- To Havre, lc is still
current.

EXCHANGES are very dull, on London, at 108 i to 1081
per cent., and Paris, 5.20. WILLIAM P. WRIGHT.
