Financial and Commercial Summary
for the Past Week.

Financial and Commercial Summary
for the Past Week.
There has been no marked change in the
money market since our last; the demand
has not been pressing, and for acceptable
business paper, the market remains easy at
1O@12 per cent; but paper not coming un-
der this head, is not wanted and is nego-
tiated with difficulty at 1908 per cent. per
month. 1t is rather difficult to borrow
money at 10 per cent upon real estate
Call loans are easily made at 7(18 per cent,
aud time drafts upon New York are in de-
mAnd at 8@10e, and very few offering.
The demand for sight exchange on the
Eastern cities has been good all the week
fully up to the supply-and the market clo-
ses firm. Gold is plenty and dull, rates be
ing a shade lower. There has been hardly
any change in the quotations since cur last.

The News FROM PoRT RoYAt..-The latest
direct news from Port Royal is by the Van
derbiit, which left Hilton Head on the Sd inst.
We find the following extracts in the news she
brings:
TIE REBELS BJRHINq COTTON.
-Four days before the Vanderbilt sailed,
guuboat went up one Of the rivers in the vicin-
ity of Port Royal, and remained over night. On
the passage up. vast quantities of cotton was
discovered stored, ready for ginning. The gan
boat penetrated for several miles. No rebels
were discovered; but on the return, the cotton
which had been noticed was found on fire; and
as far AS could be seen in all directions, dense
smoke rose in clouds, indicating that an organ
ized effort TO burn all the cotton, and probably
other property. had been made. The rebels it
is thought, were under he impression that the
vessel had come for the purpose of seizing it.
However, not single white man was seen.
The reconnossances have revealed the fact
that vast quantities Of cotton are stored upon
the numerous small creeks and inlets, within
easy range of our forces 1t is, in nearly all
cases, ready for ginning.
THE CoNTRABANDs.
, Among the facts asccrtained by our troops
in their scouting expeditions il the following;
that the cOntrabands are far more numerous
than has hitherto been believed. They exist
10 great numbers in every direction. On st.
Helena Island alone, on the plantation of Jcn-
kns and Coffin, about two thousand were en-
pluyed; half or three-qusrters of that lumber

ZEE nonsense about slaEerv STRENGTHENING a

The nonsense about slavery strengthening a
people for the profecution Of hostlites, is thor
oughly exploded by the news that reaches us
from South Carolina. Our troops have been
the reverses of enterprising since taking pos
session ofihe fort guarding the Port Royal en-
trance to Beaufort, but latterly they have ex
plored some Of the numerous sea-ceeks running
among the cotton and rice Islands, to a consid-
erabic extent, aud every where society has dis
solved. The master class has fed, driveing
away all the negroes they could and leaving
others to do as they pleased. The demented
rebels have also caused the sky to be illumin-
ated with burning cotton, and everywhere the
advance of our troops is attended with panic
and desolation. Snch would rot be the case
in land peophd with free Feryons, however
overwhelming the force Of the invaders, provid-
cd they were civilized. The pickets Of the rebel
force collected TO oppose our troops, are obser-
we'd to be chiefly occupied in waching slaves,
and preventing them from reaching our lines.
