THE AMERICAN MARKETS.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.—The arrival of the last
steamer has produced a flutter in cotton and breadstuffs,
but beyond these articles there has been but little if any
change in any of the markets, monetary or commercial.
Money is 1 per cent. out of doors. United States Trea-
sury Notes, 103 f ; United States Sixes, 1044 to 1051;
United States. Fives, 95k; Pennsylvania Fives, 74. The
result of the election has given firmness to the best
stocks, but will not, probably, 'impart much activity so
long as the present authorities remain in power. I may
add, also, that it has imparted a cheerful tone to bun.
generally. About 400,000 dolls. have been replaced in
the New York Sub-Treasury, which had been drawn-out
Under the recent 800,000 dolls. Treasury note:arrange-
ment by Mr. Walker, Secretary to the Treasury, who
has issued the following notice in relation to the finan-
cial condition of the Government at the present time,
and to January 1, 1849:
" Treasury Department, Nov. 7, 1848.

" From the official statement now before me, setting
forth the condition of the Treasury, and the amount of
money required by it during the present month of
November and of December ensuing, it is evident that
the means of the Government will be ample to liquidate
all claims kainst it up to the Ist of January next,
without calling in before that date any further payments
on account of the loan of 1848; and desiring to save:the
Government the expense of all unnecessary interest,
notice is hereby given to all the successful bidders for
that loan, by whom any balance is still due, that they
are permitted to postpone any further payment until
the Ist of January near. Al! bidders desirous of avail•
ing themselves of the benefit of this notice, will please
advise the department on or before the 15th of December
nez t."

Foreign Exchanges has advanced considerably,
though the demand is by no means active ; it now rules
at from 109 to 1091, and even 110 on Lnndon, according
to the character of bills. Freights are really active ;
cotton to Liveipool 3-16 d. to id. ; heavy goods, 25s to
325. 6d. per t n; beef and pork, 3s. to 3s. Odd. per barrel ;
flour, 2s. 33. to 2s. 6d. ; seamen's wages to Europe, 15
dolls., with small stores. Flour to London, 2s. 6d. to 3s.
Ashes go off with small sales only, and pearls are a shade
higher—say G dolls. 25c., pots 6 dolls. 121 c.
The eff, et of the European news upon cotton is that
of a very ekcich.d reduction—say from 71- to t of a cent.
It has never, I believe, been so low at this season of the
year. On Thursday lost 3,000 bales were sold in New
York, and the sales since have averaged from 800 to
1,000 bales per day. I subjoin the last quotations from
actual sales—

Liverpool coal has advanced, with brisk demand, to
9 dolls. and 9 dolls. 25c.

In breadstuffs the sales are large, and the prices are
maintained, under an apprehension that the canals may
be closed with frost before a sufficient supply has ar-
rived in the Atlantic cities for winter consumptictz and
export. Oswego, Genesee, and Michigan, 5 dolls. 37i-c-
to 50c.; southern and fancy brands, 5 dolls. 75c.; Ohio,
5 dolls. 50c.; Genesee wheat, I doll. 25c.; extra ditto, I
doll. 26e. and 27c. Indian corn is very active ; southern
white, 66c.; mixed, 67c. to 6Se.; yellow, 73c.; Indian
corn meal, 3 dolls. l2ic. to 3 dolls. 25c.
Provisions are somewhat dull, with small sales of mess
pork at 12 dolls 87ic.; prime ditto, 8 dolls. 87i-c. Beef
shows no change. Lard, 6/c. for common to 7c. for
strictly prime. Cheese, 6c. to qc. for good lots. The
last large tea sale in New York went off at previous
prices. Scotch pig iron is active at 20 dolls. cash, and
22 dolls on time. Transactions in rice are small at 3
dolls. 50c. to 3 dolls. 58c. per 100Ibs. cash.
In conne*ion with bread-stuffs and provisions, the fol-
lowing table of the receipts of produce this year, and
the two previous years, at the port of New York, will
afford valuable information:—
