COMMERCIAL SUMMARY.

The stock market, since the last steamer, has not varied
materially for Government and State stocks, but the fan-
cies have been buoyant and active. The sales have been
very large and prices have had an upward tendency.
There has been a fair amount of federal and state stocks
sold.
in exchanges there has been a fair business doing for
this steamer, mainly at loi to 10i, but at the close the
market fell off to 10k, with considerable sales under tele-
graph orders from the south. The supply was good.
France were 5 17} to 5 16k; Hemburgb, 36 to 36k;
Bremen, 80i; Amsterdam, 40k to 41.
In freights the market is quiet. Engagements of 5,000
or 6,000 bris. flour, at 16ed. to 18d. Considerable quan-
tity of grain, at 4kd. to 44d.; cotton, deadweight,
15s. to 175. 6d.

The supply cf money continues very abundant, and
loans on good collaterals are made at 5 to 6 per cent.,
and on Government stocks at 44 per cent. Paper, of
first-class sign tures, goes at 6 to 7 per cent.
The trade in dry goods continues dull, though prices
are especially of cotton fabrics. The in-
creasednut
s o hpretensionsyeav of holders check the incipient de-
mand. Woollen goods show more activity than cottons,
and stocks of all kinds, however, are greater than the
detnand, and unless this increases considerably; the in-
creased asking prices can hardly be obtained. Brown
and bleached shirtings and shcetings have advanced a
fraction, but the sales at the advance are few. The stocks
are still large.

There is rather less doing in drills, but better prices
aro obtaining, and the prospect of a speedy revival of the
home demand is good. Thre is little inquiry for ex-
port. Osnaburghs, and bagging, Scas, have been in de-
mand, but mostly for British makes. Holders of do-
mestic Osnaburghs ask higher prices, which check the
demand for them. Denims are in moderate request, at
the-receut advance. Stripe'a and ticks are dull, but are
held firmly. Cotton flannels are inactive.
The market for printing cloths is steady, with less
activity. Stocks are Gil.. Prints also are less inquired
after for general consumption, though there have been
one or two speculative purchases, limited, however, to
certain kinds; prices are low. Gingham are dull,.e
though orders for the spring trade are occupying the
manufactories. The stock of tnouselines de laines is very
low in the first hands, while the demand continues good,in
for the late period of the season. In this branch, a
