The aggregate quantity of the same articles left at
tide water from the commencement of navigation to the
31st of Oct. inclusive is as follows:

By reducing the wheat to flour, the quantity of it left
at tide water this year, compared with the correspond
ing period of last year, shows an excess equal to
1,153,945 barrels of flour, and an increase of excess
since our statement of last week of 91,396 barrels of
flour. The receipts of corn thus far exceed by 4,089,238
bushels the entire receipts of 1846. The receipts of
barley up to the fourth week in October during the pre-
sent year, compared with the corresponding period of
1846, show a decrease of 84,200 bushels; and from the
Ist of September to the 31st of October, inclusive, com-
pared with the same period in 1846, show a decrease of
15,216 bushels.
Saturday Night, Nov. 6.—The letters and papers
received by the mail from the Caledonia present a more
gloomy 'aspect than, from the advices by the French
steamer, we were quite prepared for; yet, gloomy as
is the aspect for England, there is in it little or nothing
that should cause uneasiness, or will produce loss
here. The English funds have fallen almost 3 per cent.
from the previous rates, the last quotations being 831 to
81, and confilence was sadly shaken. This, indeed,
seems the great evil, and produces, or at any rate,
largely aggravates, the scarcity of money, which is the
great complaint. The prophecy, however, so heedlessly
made by Mr. Horsley Palmer, and so unwisely blazoned
to the public here, of as impending crash that was to
shake commercial credit throughout the kingdom, had
not occurred, and was not, so tar as could be judged,
likely to occur. In all the list of failures brought by
this packet, that of Barclay and Co. is the only consi-
derable one, and that touches very little this country,
and is not of a calibre to shake the commercial credit of
England. But more so is that of the Royal Bank of
Liverpool, of which the whole capital almost—l,ooo,oool.
—were said to be lent to three houses. When this state
of facts was made known to the Bank of England, that
institution very naturally and properly refused to inter-
fere,and the Liverpool Bank was obliged to stop. But no
ultimate loss will result to the public, as the stockholders,
who are personally liable, are able to make good all its
engagements. There was a rumour by the French steamer
that Mr. Baring had been to Paris to endeavour to ne-
gotiate a loan of 11,000,060 francs for a relief of the
London money- market. This appears to be a mere
rumour, without any founlation in fact,—as unfounded
as the story told by a previous packet, in some Eng-
lish letter or paragraph, that the house of Baring Bro-
thers and Co. had been aided by Lord Ashburton to the
extent of 500,0001. sterling, who was said to have sold
out Consols to that amount. The whole is mere inven-
tion, that eminent house neither needing nor receiving
any help ; but, on the contrary, using its own great
means and unembarrassed position to help those less at
ease. From the deputation which has gone from Liver-
pool to see the Chancellor of the Exchequer with a
view of inducing some relaxation in the Bank restriction,
aid was expected, as Sir Robert Peel had been with the
Mayor (one of the deputation) for a week preceding the
mission of the deputation, and it was thence inferred
that Sir Robert's assent to some modifications in the Act
which bears his name might be anticipated. The form
in which Government may authorise relaxation will
be, if at all, probably in granting the Bank permission
to issue one pound notes. Such an issue, however, will

Under all the circumstances, the chief interest still which
rates
of the .
this country has in the condition of the English money-
market is the indirect one—though very near worthless
—of the prices of our chief staples in the English
markets. While the money pressure continues here,
wheat, flour, cotton, &c., will continue low—and as the
value will be regulated measurably by the value abroad,
prices here, too, must be low. But of returned bills of
exchange—except upon banks or other incorporated
institutions—there will be few or none ; and those re-
turned upon such institutions are forthwith paid with
damages. The French Government have issued propo-
sals for a loan of 250,000,000 f., about 50,000,000 dolls.,
to be paid in twenty-five monthly instalments of, on an
average, of 10,000,000 f. per month. The French funds
rose, in the face of this announcement of a new loan
issue, of which the apprehension had long hung over
the market as an indefinite contingency. As soon as the
n k owia, the market was re-
facts and conditions were loan
for a three per cent. issue
lieved. It is believed the
could be negotiated at about 77.
Nothing was done in foreign exchanges.
Cotton—The market has been completely unsettled by
taken by
the foreign news. A few hundred bales were
spinners at a decline of one-half cent per pound from
our last quotations.
Flour, &c.—There was but little animation in the
market, and prices had a downward tendency. 1,000
barrels Michigan and 1,000 barrels of Oswego sold at
6 dolls. 431 c.• sales of Genessee were made at 6 dolls.

MONDAY NIGHT, Nov. B.—Our business people like
to be frightened—at least so it would seem—tor the)
lose no opportunity, when bad news of any sort is re
ceived, to make the most of it—and the %omit of it.
Hence, at the Stock Board to day there was a general
decline, and Treasury notes went down to per cent.,
and the fancies fell mil more—Norwich and Worcester
and Har!em fell 21, Reading and Long Island What
connexion there is between the value of our stocks and
a money pressure in London, and the failure there of
East India houses or Russia houses, or houses in general
business, is not easy to perceive; yet we choose to b
frightened about it, and so prices of our undoubted
securities went down. In the street there is a vague
uneasiness—which, however, cannot stand before in-
quiry. The general result, however, is a certain stag-
nation in business. Cotton is falling still—the decline
in the last sixty days amounting to something like 4c.
a pound.

Cotton—The market is unsettled, and prices uneven;
1,000 bales were sold today, princip2lly at half a cent
decline from the prices current before the arrival of the
steamer. _ _

Flour, &c.—All descriptions are dull; Michigan, Os-
wego, &c., are freely offered at 6 dollars 25 cents; Ge-
nessee, 6 dolls. 371 c. Southern flour is held nomibally
at 6 dolls. 621 c. 140 barrels Jersey corn meal sold at
3 dolls. 50c.; 150 barrels state ditto, 3 dolls. 371 c. Wheat
is plenty, without finding buyers at asking rates. Corn
is dull at 72e. to 75c.; 10,000 bushels sold deliverable to
sellers' option, 60 days, at 65c.
Ashes are firm. 100 barrels pots sold at 7 dollars.
Pearls bring 8 dollurs 871 cents.
Whisky has fallen off. Sales of states prison barrels
have been made at 30 cents. _ _

Provisions remain inactive, with a downward tendency
n prices. Mess pork has been sold at 14 dollars 311

cents.

The receipts of flour to-day are 21,62 g barrels.
Capitalists refused to advance on commercial paper for
short dates at less than 1 per cent. per month, and the
principal drawers on London advanced the rates to 110
for GO days' bills.
Insurances had been effected on a large amount of
specie to go out by the Caledonia packet of the 16th
inst. One company refused to open any mere policies
on specie by that vessel.
Bovereigas were bought by the brokers at 4 dollars 84
cents. In largo sums they commanded as much as 4
dollars 87 cents.

Exchange, 1091 to 110.
Freights.—Corn was offering at 6d, per bushel, and
cotton at -id. per lb.
CINCINNATI, Nov. B—P.M.
Flour—The Caledonia's news has had the effect of
checking operations, dealers being disposed to wait for
private correspondence by mail before moving to any
considerable extent. Sales of all kinds, within a day
or two, reached from 3,000 barrels to 4,000 barrels on
the average, at about 4 dollars 50 cents to 4 dollars 75
cents. To-day 200 barrels sold at 4 dollars 25 cents.
Lard—Sales of 1,000 packages were made on terms not
understood. Hogs of 1,000 head were made at 4 dollars
26 cents. Whisky at 18! cents. Wheat—Sales of
10,000 bushels (Ohio) were made at 85 cents.
NEW ORLEANS, OCT. 31.

Cotton—The market continued dull. The sales
amounted to about 7,000 bales within a day or two,
at the decline previously noticed. The market
closed on terms in favour of buyers. Flour exhibited no
change, and small sales Illinois and Ohio were made at
4 dollars 75 cents, and St. Louis City Mills were held
at 5 dollars to 5 dollars 25 cents. Wheat—No sales
were reported. Corn—Sales of 10,000 bushels were
made, consisting of new Western mixed at 41 cents to
46 cents. Bye.—No sales were making. Oats wero
dull at 34 cents. Tobacco continued dull; about 50
hogsheads Kentucky leaf sold on terms not understood.
