COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, FEB. 11,
_ _ _ _

MONEY Meager.—The receipts of gold from Cali-
fornia since the departure of the last Liverpool steamer
amount to 1,500,000 dollars. The total exports from the
gold regions, as near as can be estimated from official
sources, amount to 30,000,000 dollars. It is estimated
that 12,000,000 dolls. have been forwarded by passen-
gers, and, allowing 6,000,000 dolls. for circulation, will
give 48,000,000 as the product of the mines. We are
glad to notice signs of more ease in the money market.
Under the favourable influence obtained by the arrival
of gold from California, there was a much better supply
of money offering on Saturday and to-day, and in many
instances the rates for first-class short paper were a trifle
lower. Foreign exchanges are rather lower, although
there has been an increased demand, in consequence of
there being no Liverpool steamer advertised to leave this
port next week, The bulk of transactions have been at
the following rates:—London, 1094 to 110; Paris,
5.111 to 5.131; Amsterdam, 41 to 414; liamburgh,
36j to 36i; Bremen, 791 to 79k.
Cotton TalcottsCircular says—" Our market closed,
per Arctic, 4th inst., in a depressed and unsettled con-
dition, consequent on receipt of the Canada's advices. On
the sth very few sales were effected. On the 6th 1,000
bales were forced at fully lc. reduction, chiefly uplands,
at 12ic. for middling, 13c. for middling fair, and 131 c.
for fair. On the 7th a better feeling prevailed, and sales
to the extent of 2,000 bales were effected at ;e. to ic.
improvement. On Saturday, the Bth, 1,000 bales; to-
day there has been but little doing, the sales reported
on the Exchange being only 250 bales.

21 dolls. 50c., six months, to arrive. English bars were
held at 41 dolls., with buyers et 40 dolls., usual credit.
Tobacco was steady, but quiet, with sales of 50 hhds.
Kentucky, at 10c. to 1 lie.
Flour and Meal—There is a moderate demand for
Western and State flour, and the latter is very heavy.
Canadian is a shade easier, with a fair demand.

Corn-meal is very quiet. In wheat there is nothing
doing, but little pressing on themarket. Corn is very quiet.
Freights—Freights quiet and engagements light.
Cotton to Liverpool 5-32ds asked, but an engagement of
a small lot reported at lower rates. Flour ranged from
Bd. to 9d., and dead weight from 12s. to 13d. There was
no change to notice to Havre or London.
