COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, 18th October.
MONEY MARKET.--A very considerable improvement
has taken place in the Stock Market, but a slight reaction
took place towards the close.

COTTON.—The market in this city has been gradually
hardening during the past week, until at the dose of
business yesterday an advance of ac. per TXf. was estatuumect -
on the quotations of last week. The reason for this im-
provement is to be found in the unfavourable turn of
accounts from the south as to the prospeots of the incom-
ing crop ; the impression generally prevailing that prices
will be better in Liverpool —and the very limited amount
of stock at present for sale. The sales since the 9th in-
stant to last evening, have been 10,000 bales. The busi-
ness has been principally of a speculative character, based
on unfavourable crop accounts, anticipated improvement
in Liverpool, and the chances of an early frost. In case
of further advent* in this market, many of this week's
purchases will be resold here—should the market pause or
recede, it will go forward to Liverpool, under advances.
The business would have been more extensive, but for the
gloom cast over the community by the unfortunate disaster
to the steamer Arctic. The export during the same time
has been—to Liverpool, 8,465 bales, and to Antwerp, 126 ;
total, 8,691 bales.
BREADSTUPPB.—FIOnf was rather unsettled. The sales
include 7,200 brls. ; ordinary to choice state at $8 to
$8 371 ; mixed to fancy Western at $8 25 to $8 621; with
extra Western and Genesse at $8 75 to $lO 25 ; 2,000
brls. superfine Canadian in bond at $7 75 to $7 87+ ; 1,000
brls. mixed to fancy Southern at $8 121 to $9 ; 150 brls,
rye flour at $5 50 to $6 25, and 150 brls. Jersey corn meal
at $4 371 per brl. The transactions in grain embraced
1,000 bushels Southern red wheat at $1 55 : 5,000 ditto
Northern rye at $1 121, and 98,000 ditto Western mixed
at 79c. to 80c. per bushel. Oats attracted more attention
at 49e. to 52c. for State, and Mc. to 66c. for Western per
bushel.
PROPTSIONEL—Pork favoured buyers. Lard was declin-
lug. Beef wag in moderate demand at old rates. Butter
and cheese continued about the same.

FRRIGHTS.—Rates for Liverpool were some less buoy-
ant to-day, thongh there continued to he a fair demand
offering. About 35,000 to 40.000 bushels of corn were
engaged in hulk and shins' bags at 41e to 41-c to s}c,
and about 810 to 1.000 bales compressed cotton were en-
gaged at id. To Glasgow, 0.000 bushels corn were en-
gaged at Sid. in hulk. To Havre, cotton and bone were
nominal at c. To California rates were steady at about
