COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, July 11.
Money abundant. Gold, 1494. Exchange on
London, 163; on Paris, 3.43. Stocks steady. New
York Centrals, 99/ ; Illinois, 122/ ; Erie, 754 ;
5-20 United States Bonds, 106/. Cotton slightly
firmer ; Middling Upland, 36. Receipts of cotton
at New York during the last three days, 4,250
bales. Flour dull. Wheat very dull. Corn quiet.
Provisions depressed. Coffee dull. Molasses quiet.
Sugar steady. Petroleum depressed ; crude, 23 ;
refined, 39.

NEW ORLEANS, July 10.
Cotton dull ; low middling, 31 to 32 ; four days'
receipts, 1,250 hales; four days' exports, 4,500 bales.
The attempt to bolster up the price of gold has failed, and
the price remains at 153 i. The violent fluctuations have
ceased. Money is abundant, and lent freely at the quota-
tions given in my last. Exchange on London; 166. The
endency of the railway market is still upwards, and more
business is doing. I may quote New York Centrals at 99i;
Illinois, 122 ; Erie, 69 ; 5-20 Bonds, 1054. The advices
from Liverpool have given more strength to our cotton
market. I think it probable that the price of gold will
decline, now that the demand for England has slackened.
The export within the last five weeks has been enormous,
and whatever your demands may be you aro not likely to
receive any very large extra sum, as the balances due are
well worked off, and any further considerable demand
would doubtless have a strong effect
.in sending up the
price of the precious metal.

(From E. F. Satterthwaite
.and Co.'s Weekly Circular,

July 18.)
By the "China," our latest advices from Now York are
to the 3rd inst. ; they report a strong market for Govern-
ment securities, with but small amounts offering ; the
latest quotations show an advance of fully one per cent.
In Railroad Stocks the principal interest was in Erie,
which, after some severe fluctuations and very heavy
transactions, were quoted about $5 better than the pre-
vious week ; the shares of the Western roads m ere dull.
State Stocks and Railroad Mortgages were almost a dead
letter, and were nominally without change.

Money was reported to be extremely abundant, a
plentiful supply offering at from 4 to 5 per cent. on call.
The premium on Gold was maintained at former rates,
but this was chiefly due to speculative operations.

Via " Greencastle " we have received the following
quotations, being to the 7th inst.:—

We have again to note a very strong market on the
London Stock Exchange for all descriptions of American
Securities. Since our last United States 5-20 Bonds have
improved 1a per cent., closing with a firm aspect at 69i
to e. At this 'mice they are relatively 5 per cent, higher
than by the latest advises from America.

Erie Shares on the improvement established in New
York have advanced to 42i to 43, and Illinois, partici-
pating in the general improvement, are last quoted 77i
to 78.

There is an improved demand for Atlantic and Great
Western Bonds of various descriptions, the Debentures
being freely taken at present quotations. Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds aro now dealt in ex the 15th July coupon
just paid.
