Included in the above are about 800, 900 worth
OF wheat and corn, sent to England, and about
$S15 900 worth of wheat and -four, sent to France.
We are sending some wheat to Portugal also. Our
shipments Of provisions to Great Britain continue
heavy. We notice q shipment of two hundred
bales Of cotton to Liverpool. If the great naval
expedition should succeed in opening cotton port
the condition Of the planters, depicted in their
appeal to Mr.. Memmingcr. justiies the belief that
many of them would avail themselves Of it to send
their cotton to market.
The money market is ensy oil the money that is
wanted can be borrowed at per cent. though
some borrowers continue to pay seven on loans
effected a week ago.
We have to report another break down in the
foreign exchange market Most excellent bills
were offered to-day ut 1914 and some leading city
bankers sold at 1875. Francs were firner.
leading drawer asked 5.2ss4, and business was done
at 5.3lA a 1874. 1t is expected that gold viii ar
rive this week, which may impart more frmness to
the market. Otherwise, bills will undoubtedly fall
below lot again.
The conflicting rumors regarding the sailing of
the great expedition kept the street in ferment
to-day and checked business. Comparing the
day with those Of last evening, we note an advance
OF "a in United States registered 6's, Of ] in
Pacific Mail, Of ~ in Panama, of "a in Michigan
Southern, and of q in guaranteed decline Of Il
in Central, % in Erie, "a in Galena, "a in Rock
Island in Illinois Central and Il in Tennessees;
and no change in Toledo, Burlington and Quincy,
Missouris, United States coupon 6's, Erie pre-
ferred, &C., &c. The market is eminently one Of

marked change until we receive military or naval
intelligence of a decided character. We under
stand that leading member of the Board will TO-
morrow move the appointment of a committee Of
eleven to revise the rules lately adopted with re-
gard to commissions, and we take for granted
that the upshot Of the move will be
return to uniform Il per cent commissions, with
some precautions to prevent dishonest members
doing business for less. The market at the close
was dull, the following being the last quota

After the second board there was q rally in

being quite firm.
The receiver Of the Erie Railroad Company ad-
vertises that he viii pay the October interest on
the fourth mortgage bonds on the 1st proximo
and we led to believe that the interest on the
fifth mortgage will be paid in December. 1t is un-
derstood that the affairs Of the old New York and
Erie Railroad Company will be settled up, and on
| 1st January, 1862, the new Erie Railroad Company
will start fairly its career In order that the
public may appreciate its condition. and the value
| Of its securities, we may mention that its total
debt win be $40, 692 500, distributed as follows:
