MONEY MARKET

AND
CITY INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 Ame-
rican and 700 Surat were taken for export. The
market was well supplied, and closed firmly with-
out alteration in prices. The sales comprised
3,000 American, 50 Pernam and Maranham at 84d.,
3JO Egyptian at Gid. to 10d., and 1,500 Surat at
3/d. to 4id. per lb. Railway shares were quiet at
steady prices.
There are no later Australian arrivals.
The last accounts from Buenos Ayres state that
the time allowed for vessels to load in the port of
Buenos Ayres had been extended to 10 days.
Letters of June, lid the United States, mention
that

" Buenos Ayres was still besieged, and guerilla con-
tests were of daily occurrence, in which many were
wounded and killed, particularly among the outsiders.
" The National Congress at Santa Fe had adopted a
constitution for the confederated provinces, in most re-
spects like that of the United States. It had been
accepted by Urquiza, but it was not probable that the
authorities of Buenos Ayres would accept it while Ur-
quiza, with his army and fleet, surrounded the city.
"The time allowed vessels in the port of Buenos
Ayres to load had been extended twelve days.
" There were in port ship Gondola and barque Thorn-
dike, for New York ; and barque Roman, brig Cron-
stadt, and schooner H. A. Barling, at Monte Video.
" All articles from the United States were in brisk
demand. Flour had advanced to $lO to $12.50. Hides
were eagerly purchased at advanced prices. Wool was
coming in and was purchased, for English account, at
high prices. Lumber scarce and in demand."
There was no change in the rate at which bills
were taken here generally yesterday afternoon upon
the Continental cities. Paris, 90 days, was quoted
25 171 to 221 ; Amsterdam, 11 18 to 184 ; Ham-
burgh, 13 6 4o 7 ; Frankfort, 1191 to # ; and
Trieste, 10 58 to 11.

The following is a new rule adopted by the com-
mittee of the Stock Exchange :
"In the event of any question arising from the ven-
dor having a larger coupon than the amount of stock
conveyed, or only one coupon, representing stock con-
veyed by two or mare transfers, the coupon may be
deposited with the Railway Secretary of the Stock Ex-
change, who shall forward it to the office of the com-
pany, and certify to that effect on the transfer, which
shall then be a valid delivery. N.B.—Forms of instruc-
tions for the application of coupons deposited under the
above rule, may ae filled up at the railway department."

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of English wheat in to-day's market was sea-
sonably good, and in excellent condition. For all kinds
the demand was in a very inactive state, at Monday's de-
cline in prices. The transactions for forward delivery
were trifling.
From abroad upwards of 13,000 quarters of wheat have
come fresh to hand. So little business was doing in that
article that the quotations were almost nominal. Floating
cargoes were in request, at full prices.
Barley. the show of which was but moderate, moved off
slowly, at late rates. In the value of malt no change took
place.
There was a moderate inquiry for oats, at the late
decline.
Beans, peas, and flour ruled dull ; in prices, however,
very little change took place.

HORRORS OP SLAVEHUNTING.—We learn from persons
who received their information from citizens of New Pe-
tersburg, situated in Hihborough County, that on
Friday and Saturday last a party of men, three of whom
were Kentuckians from Mason and Fleming Counties,
and two Ohioans, passed through that village in
pursuit of three slaves, the property of one of the
party, named Pierce, and another owner. It seems
they had information which led them to believe
that the slaves were on the route through
New Petersburg to Greenfield, but they had not
yet ci ossed Rattlesnake Creek, which runs about a mile
east of Petersburg. From Petersburg there are two
roads leading to Greenfield, one of which crosses
the creek over a bridge, and the other by a ford
about half a mile further up. Three of the pur-
suing party stationed themselves at the bridge,
and two at the ford, and waited the coming of the
slaves. The party at the bridge had not waited
long, when the slaves, two men and a woman,
made their appearance, escorted by a white man
and boy, as guides. As soon as they were fairly
within the bridge, which is a covered one, the Ken-
tuckians sprang upon them and a desperate fight ensued.
The negroes, it is said, were armed with guns, pistols,
and knives, and defended themselves bravely. The
particulars of the affray, however, are not yet definitely
known, but the result was that one of the negroes was
captured, after being severely wounded, and the other
two, with their white companions, made good their es-
cape. Pierce, the owner, it is said, of the captured negro,
was severely hurt, having been nearly choked in the
struggle to secure him. The desperate nature of the
affray may be judged from the fact that the broken
breeches of a gun and pistol were fornd on the spot, and
the ground was covered with blood. As soon as it was
over the Kentuckians lost no time in leaving for home,
taking their captive with theta.—New York Tribune.
