COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, SEPT. 29.--Stocks were heavy to-day,
and only a moderato amount of business -transacted.

veryjittlo speculation going on in stocks, except amongst
the brokers, and capitalists are buying spas in ugly. We
havo no alteration to notice in the money market.

class commercial paper, short dates, 5 percent.; 60 days'
paper, first class, 5 to 6 rer cent.; 90 ('lays' to four
months, at 6 to 6i per cent.; six, months pttper, 7 per

Cotton.—On the date of our last review ;the", market
was active, and rather higher prices were .again paid;

bales against 45,189 to same dates last year —a decrease
this !season of 27,395 bales. The total foreign export
