The heal of the city is good, and choI-
era has ceased to be talked of, the deaths

Financially, the position of the week re-
mains about as previously, reported, The

paid $40, 600 for the use of one million for a
day. It is said the "clique y" sold out at
the advance. Owing to the low rate of
Foreign Exchange. specie is now on the
way from Europe, as it can be imported at
a profit. Telegraphic adviees inform us
that the AIlensinia and Scotia, leaving
England last week, had each, a half mill
lion dollars on board, and there is a proba-

Commercially, the condition is less salts
factory. There is some pressure to sell
goods, but owing In part to the cholera at
the West, and the prospects of short crop
cottor, there is less desire to buy. The de-
mand for Western Produce has been cur
tailed by the low rate of Sterling Ex-
change, and the inability of shippers to
make satisfactory negotiations. Cotton has
declined from this cause alone. Bread
stufrs are arriving in larger quantities, and
are lower. Provisions advanced under
speculative influences, but closed dull.
Groceries have been steady, with a fair
consumptive demand; and prices are firm.
Tobacco, active at higher prices. Wool,
hrmer, with large sales, but no advance
can be quoted. The imports for the week

sound, to 55c for new State. Both tele-
graphic and mail advices from Europe re-
port the crop will be an average; In Eng
land, owing to favorable weather, the
prospects are better, and prices declining
Mess Pork closes steady, at $50 81; sales
