COMMERCIAL AND MONEY MARKETS.
NEw YORK, DEC. 29.
MONEY.—The stock market has a downward tendency,
but not more so than usual in holyday week. The money
market was easy, without any material change in the
rates. In exchange there has been a large amount of
sterling bills in the market, and the demand very mode-
rate. Prices in consequence are lower, and close flatly.
The business in continental was also small. We quote
bills on London 91- to 93 per cent. prem. ; Paris, f. 5.121
to f. 5.13, 60 days, and f. 5.10, short sight.
CoTTON.—(From the Shipping List, of December 29.)
—The sales for the past two days are only 800 bales, at a
decline of about one-fourth of a cent. per lb., the Ca-
nada's unfavourable advices having brought our market
nearly to a stand. The table below, compared with last
season, shows an increase in the receipts at all the ports
0ff406,832 bales, in the exports to Great Britain of 175,874
bales, to north of Europe 7,192 bales, to other foreign
ports 7,616 bales, and a decrease to France of 36,028
bales ; leaving a total increase in the export from the
United States of 154,654 bales. The shipments to northern
ports are 13,372 bales less, and the stock on hand 223,426
more than last year. The stock in this port is 31,291
bales, against 54,893 bales last year. We quote : _

(From W. P. Wright's Circular of December 29.)
On Monday the correspondence per Canada was re-
ceived, advising a decline for the week ending 10th Dec.
in Liverpool of id. to Id., with small sales, and a feeling
generally prevalent that prices would still further recede.
The decline of nearly one penny sterling per lb. between
the 29th October and 10th December naturally attracts
some attention, it being so entirely contrary to the views
expressed by many well-informed Liverpool and Man-
chester merchants and brokers. Two months ago, when
middling Orleans were selling at 61d. to 68d. in Liverpool,
and when there was a bare possibility of the crop being
limited at 2,800,000 bales, the substance of the corres-
pondence was to the effect that a crop of 3,00,000 bales
would be required to prevent a further advance in price,
and was actually necessary to meet the increased and in-
creasing consumption. How changed the tone adopted
by the very same parties in the correspondence just at
hand per Canada. Our crop is likely to result according
to their wishes ; hut, instead of &id. being maintained as
the price for middling Orleans, it has already declined
below 51- 'd. and we are gravely informed that sd. per lb.
will soon be reached, and very possibly even a lower
figure, and no doubt such would soon be a matter of fact
did the cotton now in transit belong to American shippers.
The future course of the Liverpool market will be watched
with much interest on this side, the great bulk of the
business, so far, this season, having been done on English
account. The sales on Monday and yesterday were only
to a small extent, at irregular prices. The total sales,
since the 20th instant, have been 11,000 bales ; and the
clearances in the same time have been—to Liverpool,
3,305 bales ; Bremen, 26 : total, 3,331 bales. The solu-
tion of the advance in Mobile and New Orleans, alluded
to in my last circular, appears to be in the fact that the
news per Arctic was telegraphed as id. decline, instead of
id. advance, the first causing some low sales ; and it was
the reaction from those low sales that was telegraphed to
us on the eve of the departure of the Niagara. With
regard to the crop, I am every week more confirmed in
my opinion that the present excessive estimates are based
solely upon the increase of receipts at the ports over last
year, and that a change will soon occur. Since the end of
November the cotton region has been visited by heavy and
continued rains, which will tend still more to injure the
quality of the remaining portion of the crop.
BREADSTUFFB.—FIour was in active demand, at an ad-
vance of 6ic. to 121 c. per barrel, up to the close of Friday,
when the telegraphic advices, per Canada, to the 11th
instant, from Liverpool, came to hand. On Monday
holders demanded an additional advance of 121 c. to 181-c.
per barrel, which was firmly resisted. Western Canal
sold at 4 .8 '5.561 to 5.681 per barrel ; Ohio and pure Ge-
nessee, .85.75 to 4116 ; common New York, &c., 85.50 ;
Southern kinds, .8"5.681 to 46 ; Canada, in bond, .8'5.75
to 86. Wheat was without material change, with but
little offering. Indian Corn in good demand, but with
increased receipts prices are lower.

PROVISIONS.—The pork market has advanced a trifle,
and, though firm, eloses without much buoyancy, with
more offering for sale, and a moderate demand. Beef is
very firm, and a little higher, with light receipts and a fair
demand. Lard is in better supply, and depressed. Cheese
is quite dull, at Bc. to 9c., the latter for choice.
IRoN.—The market for Scotch pig Is exceedingly firm,
and higher prices are now demanded. 500 to 600 tons
sold at 830, and small lots at 831 to 832.50, 6 months ;
and 100 tons Irish wrought scrap, 836, less 4 per cent.
for cash. Common English bars are held at 865 ; and
refined 872 50 to 875.

FRElGHTS.—Quotations for breadstuffs to Liverpool
have a downward tendency. The following are the closing
rates to that port :—Flour, 3s. sd. to 4s. ; rosin, 3s. 6d. ;
pork, 4s. 6d. ; beef, ss. 6d. ; wheat, 10d. to 100. ; cot-

CHARLESTON, DEC. 27.

The sales of cotton to-day were 600 bales at 78c. to 9c.,
showing a decline of to ie. ; the market is unsettled.
KINGSTON, (JAMAICA,) DEC. 21.
. _

The business done in imports, between the 10th and
21st instant, was very moderate, the trade merely pur-
chasing to supply their immediate wants. There is very
little rum in the market, and 22 proof is quoted at 2s. to
2s. 3d., in bond. Freights are dull.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.

There has been an unusual degree of activity. The
stock market has been steady. Money continues easy, at
about 3 per cent. per month, on undoubted securities.
In the rates of exchange there is no variation. Sixty day
bills on London are quoted at 47 to 47i, and on Paris,
4.90.

LEIPSIC.—A letter from Leipsic states that the cata-
logue of the book fair for this year at that place contains
6,764 new publications. Last year the number was only
5,700.

At CALCUTTA, some sensation has been created among
the native community by the baptism of a young widow
