COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

NEW YORK, AUGUST 23,

MOSBY is easy on first-class securities only ; call loans
have been made at 6 per cent. ; first-class paper ranges
from 9 to 12 per cent. ; 1; to 2 per cent. are the current
rates for all descriptions of paper, except that of the very
best character, and having but a very short time to run.
The movements at the Stock Board were on a larger scale
to-day. Foreign exchanges are firm, and bills on London
are a shade higher. We quote :—London, 1091 to 1094 ;
Paris, 5.111 to 5.13 i; Amsterdam, 411 to 412 ; Hamburg,
361 to 36i ; Bremen, 781 to 79; Frankfort, ,11f to 41k;
Antwerp, 5.12 i to 5.15. Several failures are reported.
COTTON.—The amount on sale here is light, and sellers
consequently insist upon, and obtain their own rates.
Middling Uplands, equal to Liverpool standard, brings
9ic., which, at freight, costs M. to sell in Liverpool,
or id. above its value on the Bth instant. Shippers,
therefore, for English account, have generally withdrawn
from the market, and the small business doing is for con-
tinental markets, which are all higher than Liverpool,
and for home use. Complaints continue to pour in from
the Atlantic States and Alabama of injury from drought.
From New Orleans, however, we hear but few complaints,
and from Texas the accounts latterly have been very
favourable.

BREADBTUPPS.—The stock of State and Western flour
in this market is now less than at the corresponding
period for many years, and a material advance in the
price of common qualities has been established. New
flour comes forward very sparingly as yet, farmers gene-
rally being disposed to hold back their stock to the latest
moment, in the hope of obtaining still higher prices.
The market is still bare of Canada, and quotations, in the
absence of sales, are altogether nominal. Southern flour
continues in active request, part for export, but mainly as
a substitute for Western Canal, in the absence of an ade-
quate supply of the latter. The market for good standard
brands is a shade firmer, but the low grades are irregular
and heavy. Corn meal is also scarce and in good request.
The tendency of wheat has been to a further improve-
ment, owing to the inadequacy of supply. The local mil-
lers are buying sparingly, and there is no inquiry for
export. The arrivals continue light, but it is generally
believed that the prevailing drought in the interior,
which restricts milling operations there, will have the
effect to increase the receipts. For corn there has been
an active demand, mainly speculative ; prices have, there-
fore, advanced bc. to 6c., the market closing buoyant at
the improvement.
Puovistoxs.—Pork has an upward tendency. Cut
meats are -rather scarce. Lard is in fair demand. Beef
is not very active, but prices are firm. Cheese, Bc. to
10fic. per lb. •
SALT.—The market is well supplied with both Liver-
pool and West India, and prices are scarcely sustained.
CoAL.—The supply of Liverpool continues small ; other
foreign is not wanted. Anthracite remains steady, at $7
from vessel, and $7,50, cash, from yard, delivered.
biort.—Both pig and bar are very dull, and we have
only to notice sales of 40 tons English refined bar, at
$85,50, and 300 to 400 tons Scotch pig, $39 to $4O, six
months. _ .

FRZIGIETS.—No alteration to notice in rates to Europe:
there is very little offering at present. The following are
the ruling rates :—To Liverpool : 'Tobacco, per hoged,
