COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW TO,RE, SEPT. 27.
MONEY.—The stock market is dull and heavy. There is
more activity in the money market, capital being very freely
offered both for call loans and street discounts, while the
demand for each is sufficient to maintain the rates. Busi-
ness paper is abundant at 9 to 12t per cent., only a few
names being taken at the lower rates. Foreign exchange
is in extensive demand, and rates are very firm : London,
109 i to 1091-; Paris, 5.12-1 to 5.15; Amsterdam, 41 to
41*; Hamburg, 36t to 36*; Bremen, 791 to 791; Ant-
werp, 5.15 to 5.161.
COITON.—(From W. P. Wright's Circular of Sep-
tember, 27.) —We have had more doing in this market
during the past week for expert to Liverpool, owing some-
what
to the continued complaints from the south as to the
injury sustained by the growing crop from rains, worms,.
and caterpillar. The business, however, has been chiefly
confined to two or three brokers, who have not made,
known the extent of sales or prices paid. Some small
transactions have taken place for the north of Europe and
for domestic consumption. The total sales for the week
are estimated at 10,000 bales ; prices at the close are fully
supported at the quotations of last week for all grades
above low middling ; for the qualities below this they are
entirely nominal, and difficult to move. The export since
the 20th instant has been, to Liverpool, 5,595 bales ; Havre,
28 ; Antwerp, 40. Total, 5,663 bales.
THE Cxop.—The Merchant and Planters' Price Cur-
rent, dated in Mobile, 17th ult. says :—" The weather here
continues showery, and we hear of much complaint from
the interior Of this state and the. Mississipi of injury to
the crop from worms and long-continued wet weather.
In regard to the incoming crop, there is a growing belief
that it has received, and is receiving, very serious injury
from the continuance of wet weather, which commenced
early in August, causing too rapid and luxuriant a growth,
and a consequent shedding of forms and rotting of the
under bolls; and more recently we hear much complaint
of the boll-worm and caterpillar." Accounts of a similar
nature are being received from various parts of Georgia
and South Carolina.

The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the Ist of September last, as compared with the pre-
vious three years:
