COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

and Loans " on call," except in a few instances, do not
command over 6 per cent. The banks discount short
paper freely, and the rate for leading names, at four to
six months, is 7 per cent. The Exchange Market is firm,
with a fair demand at the folidwing rates :—London,
1091 to 110 ; Paris, 5121 to 515 ; Amsterdam, 41 to 41i ;
Hamburg, 364- to 36'1 ; Bremen, 79 to 79i ; Frankfort,
mg to 41.

COTTON.—The cotton market continued very active on
Saturday and Monday, with a further advance of lc., but
the arrival of the Arabia checked business yesterday,
though sales of the day reached 2,600 bales ; her advices,
however, have not affected prices, the market closing with
a steady appearance. The sales for the last three days
are 10,600 bales. We quote :

The southern markets have advanced generally lc. per
lb., in addition to a higher rate of freight to Liverpool.
The simultaneous advance in the various markets of the
country was entirely unexpected. and is not based so much
upon the prospect of higher prices in Europe as on the
accounts recently received from the south as to the pro-
bable result of the growing crop. In South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, and some portions of the region trhu-
tary to New Orleans, there seems to have been a severe
drought, which, occurring thus early, has injured the
young cotton ; for, although a drought in July and
August rather benefits than otherwise the already full-
grown and nearly matured plant, it cannot be otherwise
than detrimental at a time when moisture is most needed
to insure a good stand and vigorous growth. Alabama
seems to be an exception to the general complaint, and
from some sections in that state I learn that the cotton
plant looks well.
BREADSTUFFS.—For flour there has been a rather better
feeling than for some weeks past, and prices have ad.
vanced, since the 24th ult., to the extent of 61c. to Inc.
per barrel. The highest rates, however, are now with
difficulty obtained. Some parcels of wheat were sold at
the close of last week, at ic. to 2c. over last quotations,
but this advance is not fully maintained. Indian corn is
dull, at a decline of sc. to Bc. per 56Ibs.
• Paovrsroxs.—Mess pork has been in good demand,
Part for filling contracts, and for California, and prices ,
have advanced 12+c., closing firm, but the other kinds I
are inactive at previous rates. Beef is plentiful and dull,
and city mess rather lower. Lard is in fair supply, but
with a good demand prices have improved a little. But-
ter is in good supply and demand, without change in
prices. Cheese is plenty and dull, at Bc. to 9c. for com-
mon to prime new.

SALT.—Sales have been made of a cargo of Curacao
and 2,059 sacks Liverpool fine, the latter before arrival,
on terms not made public.
IRON.—The. market for Scotch pig has undergone but
little change, though prices still favour buyers : a few
hundred tons have been taken at £27 to 527 50c., cash,
and -B'2B 50c. to .830, six months. Bars remain inactive.
COAL. Foreign scarce and very quiet ; 150 tons
Scotch, just received, were sold previously at =B6 cash.
FREIGHTS.—To Liverpool: for cotton, ;id. to 9-32 d.
per lb.; flour, is. 9d. to 2s. per brl. ; grain, in bulk, sd.
to sid. per bushel. To London : flour, is. 9d. to 2s. per

From the City of Mexico we have advices to the 18th,
and from Vera Cruz to the 22d ult. A revolution broke
out at Vera Cruz PD the 17th, among the national guards,

in consequence of an order from the government to incor-
porate them with the regulars. The revolution lasted
three days, during which business was entirely suspended.
The regular troops had possession of the forts, and the
national guards of the streets and city gates. Brisk
firing was kept up during the whole time, but the affair
was finally ended on the 22nd by the entrance of a large
body of troops from Jalapa, who took 50 of the national
guards prisoners, and restored quiet. Santa Anna had
issued many arbitrary decrees ; he had suspended legisla-
tive authority of all kinds throughout the republic, and
prohibited the possession of arms, powder, or any kind of
munitions by private citizens. He had also placed the
telegraph under control of government. The army was
being reorganised and increased. A project for a new
national bank had been started. based upon a government
loan of from S'S,OOO,OOO to $12,000,000. The French
minister had arrived.
