MONEY MARKET, Atm. 28.

The Share Market has been dull to-day, and it closes with
declining prices.
Ana 27,—We have to net!ice the continuance of an active
business at the Stock Exchange, without material change ill
previous prices. United States Bank Stock sold on Satur-
day at 123 ; Dolan are and Hudson, at 83,1 to to 84 ; Harlem
Railroad, 71; Stonington ditto, 60; Patterson Railroad, 74;
and New Jersey Railroad, at 105. Sales were made of
Syracuse and Auburn Railroad, at 78; and of Syracuse and
stir ,:qto, at 102:4.-2,000 dollars, in 6 per cent. Treasury
Notes ww.,e taken at stover cent. premium.
The Old 'f, urn Bank at Orono, Maine, has, we observe by
the Boston Paper,:, failed. The notes of this institution hare
been for some time pot regarded with suspicion, but we bear
there ere rather a large ainount of them in circulation.
Advices from New Orleans, of Saturday the 18th instant,
state that business in every branch continued inactive. The
low state of water in the Ohio river had cut off ari communi-
eatiun for the present with that region of the country, e.nd with
the town on the Upper Mississippi there was, also but little
intercourse. he receipts of produce, consequently, were
Vglit, and though but little demand existed, prices wero
generally tending upwards. The Cotton Market continues
%-ry inactive, the sales of the week ending the 18th instant
not ,'receding over 800 boles, principally of the betty
qualities tor the northern manufactories, and without change in
prices ; holders" remaining firm. At Mobile all cotton opera-
tietita may be said to hare been saspended for the present.

7. however, holding out for 13.

(From the Herald.)
oct is sur;r:singly dull, while the capitalists of our
sister city seem full of life and energy, and unless our mer-
chants bestir themselves in the matte,. of steam-shins to Eng,-
I aid they will run great danger of being eclipsed by the supe-
rior energy of our Philadelphia neighbours. Our merchants
seem willing to let Mr. Biddle do all for them. He has come
bete, lought a bank, and is going rapidly forward in its or-
ganiz Lion ; has held a meeting on the subject of steam-
navigation, and will have a line running from Philadelphia
direct to London long before our gaping merchants shall have
left off wondering " what the devil he is going to do next. '
They must bestir, and that suddenly, or the energy of the
Philadelphians will have conquered the natural disadvantages
of their city by the aid of irresistible steam, and become a
rival far the European trade, as she now is for that of the
gie.it Wrst, through the instrumentality of her vast inland
impr(ivcments. Philadelphia, row, through Mr. Biddle,
controuls th cotton market, and, by to o new limit, now pro-
grossii.g, will also rule the domestic exchange ; and unless
New Y...rkets are up and doing. Philadelphia will suddenly
move a-head, dragging in her train the whole south and
.west, as well as the empire Sttte, which will have become
bound to her car through the inertness of l!cr stns. Come,
