COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, JAN. 18.
MONEY MARKET.--A large amount of business was
transacted yesterday, including 41'50,000 United States 6's
of '67, sold at 119 i ; 20,000 s's of '53, 1001 ; Ohio 6's of
60, 1091 ; and Pennsylvania s's, 97i. To-day the money
market was easy, with a downward tendency in rates. At
three o'clock 6 per cent was generally paid for strictly
first-class paper. In exchange the market is dull, at 8 to
0,1 for sterling, with first-class bills at9k per cent.
Francs, 515t0 5 14 At New Orleans and other ship-
ping ports the price of sterling has declined, being quoted
at 71 to 8 per cent. for the best signatures.
CorToN.—To-day cotton advanced id., with sales of
1,500 bales. The Courier and Inquirer of the 18th inst.
says, " Since our last review of the market per Asia, of
the 12th January instant, the sales have amounted to
8,450 bales. Prices ad inlerius have advanced kc, to

the reflex of southern markets, and following their lead,

moves steadily upwards. Our New Orleans correspond-
ents advise us under date of 6th and 7th, that the bulk of
the receipts now consist of leafy, sandy, and inferior cot-
ton. The market closes firmly with very light offerings

(From IV. P. Wright's Circular of January 113)—
This market since Tuesday has been active, and, con-
sidering our limited stock, the sales have been large. The
business has partaken more of a speculative character than
in any previous week this season. The quantity taken by
home consumers has also been to a fair extent, while for
export only small parcels have been sold. Prices are again
higher, and I have to advance my quotations 4- to s c. per
lb. on the Middling grades, and fully 4- c. on the better
qualities. The total sales since 11th instant to last
evening have been 8,000 bales, and the export during
some time has been—to Liverpool, 1,088 bales ; Glasgow,
58; Havre, 165. Total, 1,311 bales.
The Southern markets have also been active, at advan-
cing rates in each. In New Orleans the accounts as
brought per Baltic and Arabia have been construed
favourably, and considerable sales were made immediately
after their receipt at an advance in price. In Savannah
and Charleston the improvement has been caused by com-
parative light receipts, limited stock, and impending freight
engagements.

The crop question remains the same, and, although the
excess is reduced this week, and will be further reduced
next week, I continue of opinion that the crop will ex-
ceed the last. The receipts into the ports, particularly
those of the Atlantic States, have been for a week or two
interrupted by the bad state of the roads, caused by the
heavy rains of Deqember. The mails from the South
having failed for two or three days, I am without the
statement from Savannah and Charleston. The receipts
from the latter have been received by telegraph ; those of
the former, together with the export from both, are esti-
mated in the following.
The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the Ist of September last, as compared with the pre-
vious three years :
