The following are the only extracts which the
papers just received contain worth quoting :
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Nov. 24.

Considerable business in stock was done at the first
board on Saturday ; at the second, little business was
transacted, and at neither was there any material altera-
tion in rates.
Stocks were generally rather higher. Mohawk,
however, fell off 11 per cent. Sales were made of De-
laware and Hudson at 631-, 30 days ; U. S. Bank 76i1
to 77,3 days ; Haarlem -111, 3 days ; North American
Trust and Banking Co., 411, and Mohawk 531. Money
is more plenty among capitalists, and sales of favourite
business paper, were made at 2 per cent. per month.
Exchange on Philadelphia is more abundant, and
paper on that city and Baltimore was sold at 10 to 101 ;
Mobile, 9 to 10 ; New Orleans, 51 to 6. On other
places rates are unchanged.
Nothing doing in Foreign Exchanges. The supply,
however, is fair, and continually increasing by remit-
taoces from the south. We quote London, 108 to
109 ; Paris, 5.35 to 5.30 ; Amsterdam, 581 to 59 ;
Hamburg, 35,- to 36 ; Bremen, 77.17 to 78 ; Mexican
Dollars are buying at 1 per cent. prem. ; Spanish Dol-
lars are at 41 ; Spanish Doubloons are at 16 to 16 25 ;
Patriot, 15 60.
The notes of the Providence Bank are now redeemed
by J. T. Smith and Co., Wall-street, at a 4 per cent.
discount. Other Rhode Island banks at 4to 5 per
cent. It is confidently expected that we shall very
shortly hear of the resumption of specie payments by
all these institutions. New York Safety Fund country
bank-notes are 31 to 4, and red back at 4 to 5.
We learn that a full statement of the affairs of the
bank is in town, and though we have not seen it, we
arc assured, on good authority, that making every
allowance for bad debts, and estimating its state stocks
at their nominal value, but stocks of incorporated com.
pairs, hypothecated to the institution, at their actual
value, it exhibits a surplus of assets, over all its liabi-
lities, of five millions of dollars.

NEW YORK COMMERCIAL MARKETS

Nov. 23.

ASHES.—The transactions of the week have been
extremely limited, 300 bbls. pots have been taken at
four dollars 371 cents. to 4 dollars 50 cents. and 150
bbls of pearls at five dollars—our previous quotations.

COAL—There has been no addition to the stock o,

Liverpool since our last ; sales are made to arrive at II
dollars ,50 cents., on time—other descriptions at former

prices.

COFFEE.—AII descriptions of this article remain dull,
tend in Brazil a decline has been effected of Ito cent. per
lb. We have only to notice the following sales :-700
to SOO bags Brazil. 10 cents. to 11,i cents. ; 400 to 500
Laguayra, 111 cents. to 11; cents. ; 100 Maracaibo, 11,1,

cents.—ciLh. Together with a parcel of about 500
lngs Brazil, for export, on terms not transpired.—lm-
port, 5,950 bags Brazil, 41 bags Maracaibo, 74 bags
Cuba.

COTTON.—In consequence of a decline of in this
article early in the week, shippers have been induced to
come into market, and an increased animation has been
exhibited. In consequence of the small stock on hand
the market closes firm. Considerable quantities are
now shipped from this port to Europe by southern
agents, without being offered in market. The sales ex-
tend to fully 3,450 bales, viz.-1,175 Upland 9 to 11
cents. ; 200 Mobile 10 to 10i- ; 1,775 New Orleans 9
to 10 ;300 Florida 0i- to 10
DvEwoons.—The market is now well supplied with
Logwood of the various descriptions, but owing to the
difficulty in procuring freight, no important transactions
have taken place since our last report. Fustic is still
scarce, although in no demand. With the exception of
about 50 tons Campeachy Logwood sold on terms not
transpired, we have no transactions to ❑otice.

FLOUR.—There has been a fair demand for Flour
since our last, and prices have gradually advanced.
During the week, sales of Western, to the amount of
7,000 bbls. were made at 6 dollars 181 cents. to 6
dollars '25 cents., and yesterday 3,000 hbls. were taken
at. 6 dollars 37,- cents. to 6 dollars 50 cents., at which
price it is now held. The stock being very light for
the season, it is scarcely probable that lower rates will
be submitted to. For Southern Flour there is very
little inquiry at present ; sales of Georgetown were
made at 6.;1-.
Mot. AssEs.—With the exception of a cargo of 300
hhds. of Trinidad Molasses, a little tart, which were
sold at 21 cents., we have few sales to notice ; 100
I:hds. Porto Rico were taken at 26 cents. and 80 hhds.
Neuvitas Sy-up at 28 cents. New Orleans may be
quoted at 26i to 27i, and Cuba Muscovado at 26.
OiL.—Holders of linseed oil have become more
firm, and but few transactions have occurred in the ar-
ticle during the past week. We quote at (38 to 70
cents, 6 months, for English and Dutch, and 60 cents
cash for American.

RICE.—The sales of this article since our last report
amount to about 330 tierces, from 3 dollars, 12 cents.,
to 3 dollars 50 cents, principally at 3 dollars 374 cents.
for the primest parcels cash, for exportation. To-
wards the close of the week the demand has decreased
and the best parcels may be considered heavy at our
highest quotations. The new crop proves far superior
to that of last year. Import-922 tierces, and five
half-tierces.

SALT.---The market being completely overstocked,
very little business is done. Small lots of Liverpool
have been taken at 1 dlr. 45 cents. ; and sales by auc-
tion of 500 sacks were made at 1 dlr. 30 cents.
