COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—MoNRY.----The dividends declared
for the present month indicate no decline in the amount
of business done by the City Banks. The Money market
at Boston is in easier condition. The banks show increased
loans, and specie and loans on prime securities are quoted
as low as 8 per cent. At Philadelphia the receipts at the
banks were very heavy, first-class paper selling at 10/,
which is slightly under the New York rate. The heavy
payments of the 4th having been made without any seri-
ous failures, there will now be a little relief to borrowers.
The bank statement shows a decline in loans to the extent
of $1,340,000, and in deposits $563,000, with a slight in-
crease in specie and in circulation.. The demand for
Exchange, has been moderate. Tfie following are the
ruling rates :—London,lo9-4-, to 1091; Paris, 5,121 to 6,15;
Amsterdam, 411 to 411; Frankfort, 411 to 411; Bremen,
791 to 791 ; Hamburg, 361 to 361; Antwerp, 5,16 to
5,161.
COTTON.—This market has been dull and drooping. The
sales of the past five days, amounting to 4,600 bales, have
beef principally for home use, and, although stock is
unusually light for the season, holders have pressed sales
at a decline of fully LL c. to Ic. There is very little disposi-
tion evinced here to purchase for export, as confidence in
the maintenance of prices, on this side, is weakened by the
improved prospects of the crop, and increased estimates,
owing to the continuance of fine weather at the south ;
and, in the advices from Liverpool, there is certainly
nothing to encourage shipments costing d. to Id. "to
sell " above the rates there current on the 20th ult. At
Charleston prices are declining, and receipts increasing.
At Mobile, also, the market was dull and drooping, mid.
81c. ; but at New Orleans the daily transactions during
the vast week have been large, and the telegraph, on the
4th instant, reports " The Liverpool advices of the 20th
ult., per Arabia, which came to hand per telegraph last
evening, have had no other perceptible effect upon our
cotton, market than to cause a heavy export demand and
to strengthen former prices. The sales of the day have
been 6,500 bales, at former quotations,say 9c. for middling?'
On the 3rd instant the sales were 10,000 bales, and for the
week 29,000 bales ; stock, 115,000 bales. This action at
New Orleans is not understood here, and certainly not
responded to. Our market closes heavily.

\l3 NEA.DSTUFFS.—The receipTsOfKiWwj were pretty heavy,
and with only a moderate demand ; receivers had some
difficulty to maintain prices. 500 bushels of Pennsylvania
red wheat sold, to arrive, on private terms ; and 3,500
Southern white. here. at 62.15. Corn was rather heavy,

PiovisioNs.J-Vesspork is inactive. A few sales
prime were made at $11,311 to $11,371. The demand f
beef is moderate, and prices rather unsettled. Bu"--
in good request and prices are firm. Lard is in
quest. Cheese brings 10c. to 11c.
FREIGIITS.—We have no alteratio

amount offering for Europe is moderate.
