COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW Yoaec, FEB. 11.
MONEY MARKET.—The receipts of gold from California
_since the departure of the last Liverpool Fteamer amount to
1,500,000 dols. The total exports from the gold regions, as
near as can be estimated from official sources, amount to
30,000,000 do's. kt is estimated that 12,060,000 dials. have been
forwarded by passengers, and, allowing 6,000,000 dole for cir-
culation, will give 48,600,000 dots. as the product of the mines.
We are glad to notice signs of More ease in the money-market.
Under the favourable influence obtained by flie affival of gold
from California, there was a much better supply offering on
Saturday and to-day, and in many instances the rates for first-
class short paper were a trifle lower. Foreign exchanges are
rather lower, although there has been an increased demand in
consequence of there being no Liverpool steamer advertised to
leave this port next week. The hulk of transactions have been
at the following rates:—London, 1091 to 110 ; Paris, 5.11 i to
5.131 ; Amsterdam, 41 to 41i; Hamburg', 36f to 36f ; Bremen
/9; to 701.

tottori,—Talcett's Cireular aaya—Oar market cloged jre

Arctic, 4th instant, in a depressed and unsettled condition,
consequent on receipt of the Canada's advices. On the sth
very few sales were effected. On the 6th 1001 bales were forced
at fully c. reduction, chiefly Uplands, at 121 c. for middling,
13c. for middling fair, and 13ic. for fair. On the 7th a better
feeling prevailed, and sales to the extent of 2000 bales were
effected, at :tc. to ic. improvement. On Saturday, the Bth,
1000 bales; to-day there has been but little doing, the sales
reported on the Exchange being only 250 bales."

tucky, at 10c. to llic.
Flour and Meal.—There is a moderate demand for Western
and State flour, and the latter is very heavy. Canadian is a
shade easier, with a fair demand.

Corn-meal is very quiet. In wheat there is nothing doing,
but little pressing on the market. Corn is very quiet.
