BCENOS AYP,2S, Sept. 2G.

There is nothing iaily)rta.lt from the seat of war.
Little was known here of L3pez and his army, but
it is stated that he is at San Fernando with 10,000
men. It is impossible to say whether the probable
duration of war may 1. at longer than best informed
parties think.

Senor Sartniento has been elected President, and
Dr. Alsina Vice-President of Baenos Ayres. Trade
was improving. Nsitional bonds rose only 8 per
cent., and the rate of interest his fallen 5 per cent.
Exchange on London, 491 to

Rio, Sept. 9.

The Anglo-Brazilian Times says that the Minister
of Finance has been authorised to make a further
issue of $40,000,000 paper money to meet the de-
mand caused by the present and future expenses of
the war in Paraguay, which exceeds the ordinary
revenue by $6,000,000 monthly.
A reduction of one and a half per cent. interest
upon Treasury bills issued after the Ist September
is announced by the Treasury.

A despatch from the seat of war states that 28,000
men left Ilarnaita for Pilar, which is exi ected
to be the basis of operations against the
lines of Tebiquary. Fears, however, are
entertained that Lopez will withdraw to the im-
pregnable position of Corro Leone, forty miles from
Villa Rica, thus prolonging the campaign inde-
finitely, if the Paraguayans remain steadfast.
Some ironclads had gone up to Paraguay, pro-
bably to bombard the Tibiquary works, and the
Argentine forces at liumaita. The Government of
Monte Video has effected a loan of $500,000 with
the Banks. The River Plate and the Commercial
Banks declined availing themselves of the Bank
decree. The Rio Exchange Market was uns2ttled.
After publishing a decree authorising the further
emission of paper money business was completely
suspended, and the Banks will not draw or name
rates. 60,000 sovereigns have been sold at 12,400
to GOO. Holders now demand 13,300.

Coffee transactions have declined 300 to 500 reis
Freights abundant, and rates slightly easier.

The trade in wheats generally inquiet, with little varia-
tions in prices. The country markets come in some in•
stances rather easier, in others the turn dearer, averaging
late rates.

At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was moderate,
and the trade quiet, with rather light supplies of the
primary articles.

_
English wheat was held for last Monday's rates, at
which only a limited demand prevailed.
Foreign wheat was produced sparingly, but not offered
on lower terms, and quotations remained unchanged.

ing and grinding descriptions.
Beans fizm, at fully late rates.
Peas quite as dear, and iu special request.
Maize firmer, and a large business done. On passage,
34s Gd; Juno and July t•hipment, 30s to 30s 6d ; off coast,

Oats in steady demand. Russian firm. New a shade

easier.

Flour quiet, at Into rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Tho market is very fully supplied to-day, and the ac-
count-4 from Newgato and Lcadenball being Lad, the trade
ruled lower at drooping prices, especially for the middling
qualities of beef and mutton.

'"'Of beasts there were 5,770,004 Scotch, 560 MAI, 2,121
English, and the rest foreign. The trade was heavy, and
for middling qualities decidedly lower, say by 2s 4d p..r
stone. A few very prime beasts made our top quotation,
but Mess was in general topping price.
Of sheep and lambs there were 21,460. For the best
quality of mutton there was a good demand, but middling
and coarse sold heavily at lower prices.
123 calves were at. market, and they sold readily at fully
late rates to an advance.
