Breadstuffs—At New York all kinds of breadstuffs
were in good demand, and large transactions were taking
place at advanced rates. Owing to a light stock and
diminished supplies from the South, there has been an
advance realised of 50c. per barrel on flour, the market
closing with much firmness, and a still further upward
tendency. The export demand has almost ceased, but
for home use and eastern trade there has been consi-
dcrahle inquiry.
Flour—There has been a gradual improvement since
my last report establishing the advance noted above—
holders are firm at my highest quotation, and but little
desire shown to sell at present rates. The range of
common brands, Western and Genesee, has been 5 dolls.
25c. to 5 dulls. 811 c. ; and the better sorts from 5 dolls.
37ic. to 6 dolls. Baltimore and Georgetown, Richmond
country, &c., are now selling at 5 dolls. 50c. to 5 dolls.
561 c. Rye flour brings 3 dolls. 124 c. to 3 dolls. 25c.
Jersey corn meal, 3 dolls.
Grain—Wheat, owing to the rise in flour, is firmly
held at 108 c. to 115 c. for Illinois and Ohio, and 124 c. to
128 c. for Genesee per 601bs. Rye is dull at 62c. per
561bs. Barley is held at 64c. to 66c. per 481bs. Oats
have advanced, and bring 44c. to 46c. for northern.
Indian corn, since the Europa's arrival, has been in re-
quest, at an advance of 2c. per bushel, with sales; new
southern white at 60c., and yellow 62c. to 63c.; northern
yellow, 65c. to 66c._; and old mixed western, 62c. to 64c.

Provisions—Pork continues to have an upward ten-
dency. Sales of mess have been made at 16 doll. to 16

t'or prime. The stock is light, and the demand active.
Country inspected beef is firm at 12 dolls. to 7 dolls. for
new and prime. The receipts of lard are light, and
transactions limited.

Ashes h,v,, advanced. 100 barrels Canada pots sold
to-day at 7 dulls. New York pots may be quoted at
6 dolls. 75c., and pearls at 6 dolls. 50c.
Naval Stores are without change. Rough turpentine
selling moderately at 2 dolls. 50c.; spirits of turpentine,
35c. to 36c.

Whale Oil is held at 36c. for shipping qualities, and
40c. to 41c. for selected.

Whalebone may be quoted nominally at 30c.; but the
principal holders refuse to name a price at which they
will sell.

MONEY.

During the past fortnight the tendency of the
Money Market has been upward. Stocks of all kinds
have steadily improved and the business in them has
been active. Nearly 3,000,000 dollars have been re-
cently paid in this city alone as dividends. Discount
now rules at seven to nine per cent. for paper and money,
on call from five to six per annum.
The demand for exchange has been to a fair extent ;
but the market closes with rather a downward tendency,
as the supply is large.

- The message of Governor Johnston, of Pennsylvania,
was received in Philadelpbia on Saturday night. It is a
very voluminous document, but discusses the various and
important affairs of the State with such clearness, fair-
nes, accuracy, and temperateness, that it elicits universal
praise. It is ranked with the very best of the documents
of a similar character ever produced by a Governor of
Penns) lvania.

The subject of the relief note currency, now amoun-
ing to 600,000 dollars, engages much of his attention,
and he makes the excellent suggestion that the interest
on the State debt be hereafter paid not in this depre-
ciated paper, but in convertible funds, and urges the re-
fusal likewise of all money in payment of State dues not
convertible into specie.
The expenditure of the State during the past four
years, on all accounts, have exceeded the receipts by the
sum of 248,012 dolls. 19c. The following is a brief
summary of the present financial condition of the
State:— Dolls.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.

Several strong commissions were executed on the
Chester Cup, the animals most fancied being Blucher,
Inheritress, Ellerslie, and Farewell; the first-mentioned
two were in immense force, the horse obtaining the pre.-
mierslaip, but the old mare being backed for the most
money. Ballinaful and Geraldine were also in favour.
01 the other stakes in betting the Metropolitan Han-
dicap alone calls for a remark; Lugar and Canezou had
a ho:t of friends, and left off at very little more than
half the odds that were laid before the weights came out.
