FINANCIAL AND COMMEACIAL. MONEY MARKET, . Frivay, Oot 24—6 P. M. | There was no particular change in the stock market to-day. Speculators are anxiously awaiting toe arriza! ofthe Arabia’s mails. They are not satistled with the telegraphic accounts. It is our opinion that the pri- vate advices will be more gloomy than those pubiished. The effect of the foreign news received by this steamer will be felt more next week than this, At the board this morning Michigan Southern RatIroad declined 3 per cent; Chicago and Rock Island, %. Reading Railroad advanced percent; Pan 3¢. Michigan Southern Railroad stock bas been quite active for some days past, and prices bave been gradually settling down. Galena and Chicago was more active to-day than usual and closed heavy. Reading was plenty and freely offered. Most of the transactions were for cash, notwithstanding which, asiight sdvance was realized. New York Osntral Rail road appears to have become fixed at about our quo tations. The reputed larce receipts have no effect on the market value of the stock. Illinois Central Railroad rights rold this morning at 1203¢ per cent. That price brought out only a small lot. At the second board the market was very fiat. Michi- gan Southern fell off 34 per cent; New York Central, 3; Chicago aud Rock Island, ; Cleveland and Toledo, %. Erie opened at 603, cash, and closed at 6034 per cent, at which it was freety offered. There was an active do mand for money to-day, and the banks will doubtless be very cautious ia their operations, in view of the position of financial affairs in Europe. The specie reserve of our backs is reduced to a very low point, and if a panic should come severe enough to alarm depositors, it would not take long to bring i: down to an alarming extent. It would be the height of folly to suppose for 4 moment that we shall escape a severo financial pressuro, while ali the other commercial nations of tho world are involved in s revulsion equal to anything of the kind known for years, The directors of the American Exchange Bank have re solved to inoreare the capital stock of what institution to five millions of dollars. The present capital is two mil lions. The new stock will be divided pro rata among the stockbolders, as they stand on the books of the bank on the Ist cf November. The first instalment, of five hupdzed thousand dollars, ia payable on the 5th of Janu- ary next. It will be seen by an advertisement in another column ‘that the Ja Crosse and Milwaukie Railroad Company are desirous of purchasing $12,000 of their sinking fund bonds, and proposals to sell will be received through the United States Truet Company of New York, until the lst of November at 3 P.

Owing to a desire on the part of importers and jobbers to reduce their stocka, which promise to be left over, and especial. ly Of old style goods, they have resorted rather more freely to the auction rooms, where salcs the past week have been mote frequent than for @ woek or two pre viously, and at « fair range of prices, The political excite- ment growing out of the approaching Presidential eleo- |, Cond would be attended with difficulty. tiom hag exercised more or less influence over the trade. ‘Many country merchants, owing toa desire to reach home ‘tm time to vote, have left earlier than they would other- ‘wise bave done, and some of them may be compelled to return im November, after the election i@ over, to com- Plete their assortments, Since our last report raw cot- ton "basfreceded in prices about 3¢. per Ib. trom the highest point then current, but prices in this market are still sbove the corresponding rates in Liverpool, and above the value of sta- ple cotton goods of domestic manufacture. The stock of rew cotton im this market continues light, anc that in the bands of spinners also being reduced, prices have been better maintained here than elsewhere; hence they bave purchased sparingly, or, as It were, from band to mouth, preterring to wait an increase of supply from the receipts of the new crop. The upward tendency of the market in Liverpool was checked by the stringency of the money market and the increase in the rates Of arr count, which, on bills over sixty days ta rug, bad been fixed by the Bank of Engiaud at 7 per cent, a higher rate ban that reached during the war. Should this extraor disary advance bo maintained for any iength of time io France and England, it will operate very severely ou manufacturers apd dealers in manufactured go0da, be- cause the great bulk of tacir paper is made at niuoty days and four months, mostly for the latter period, aod unable to obtain their usual discount, except at 7 per cent, they must either advance prices to cover the on. hanced rates of interest, or seek funds through private chavnels, The first course would check sales, and the ae- If not succesetul iu ether direction, the only alternative would be to ex port their xoods to this and other markets under ad vances, Hence, shouid the mouey strirgency aad bigu rates of interest continue abroad, we cannot expect any drmin ution of imports from either France or Engtand, but possidly sD actual increase over the corresponding pe riods of last year, When once here in excess of demand, the same course wilt result that has always resulted from foreign money revulsions—the goods will be forced off by avetion, avd the proceeda demanded in specie, or tts equivalent. Under such an influence of irregalar trate 20008 of our own production would have tostand a severe competition, while many of our large importers and job bers, with beavy stocks left over, would be compelled w submit to a heavy reduction in prices. or do what foreigs sbippers of goods to this country would resort them selves to the auction rooms in advance of their foreign competitors. And thig, to some extent, as the fall trade clores, they bave already dove. Looking at twe subjec! imall its bearings, we cannot help considering the present sate apd future prospects of the dry goods trede in wats country more or less critical. It cannot be denied tbat under the influence of the multiplication of new banks, witb the augmentation of the capital of old instita ions, the credit system has been unduly expanded, which, under the pressure of a tight foreign and domesti > money market, is liable to a severe reactionary move ment. So /ar, or until the advent of the present crisis in Europe, things bave looked well. Produce of all kinds bas brovgbt remunerative prices. California has yielded her usual quota of gold; the farmers have been in good circumsta;ces, and the payments from the interior have been good; yet. witbin the past week, failures have been rather more pomerous than usual, including « larger pumber of respectable fy eae amoung wQom were Me . Watson, Carter & Co., H Josephi & Co., Pratt & Aurcenburg, Suydam & Reed, Howell & Larned, Robert Davis ard Ira Todd. The most of the other failures have occurred in the States ot the Northwest. It is a re markable fact that fewer failures have occurred ip the planting States of the Soa b during the past yoar than m apy other part of the country, or than for many years previously im that section of the Union. The export of cotion picce goods, during the week enaing the 18th imstant, was light, having been only of the value of $43,961¢ divided between srazil, China and Hayti, Brown sheetings and sbirtings were higher for all descriptions, Standard heavy sheet gs ranged from §3gc. a 83¢c.

Meat shows a decline of one and two cents per pound on the best varieties. This is in partdue to the large quantity of cattle in market, but the abundance of fish and the reduced prices of poultry has no doubt much to do with it, Poultry is coming into market in large consigaments, and will soon be as cheap az usual, late in the fall. ood chickers were never cheaper, and turkeys an 1 geese look well and sel! at reasonable rates. Game is comiog in plentifally, and our New York hovels can get up a bill of fare superior in this respect, to any in the world, Fish ts also plentiful, and in the annexed list will be found several new varieties. Prices are reduced and sales are active. Immense quantities of oysters are now old. Butter is quoted two cents per pound lower, while eggs and cheese remain the same. Vegetables look very finely, and were never so crisp andeatable. Tomatoes are getting dearer and preserved ones will soon take their place. Potatoes and cabbages are algo dearer. Ditto green corn. Apples are very fine but rather dear, as the crop this year will fall sbort full one-third. The apple crop in Burope has entirely failed, and there ts a great demand tor American apples for export. One firm has orders to fil) before the 1st of December of 6,000 bbls. Newtown Pippins, russets, and Baldwin’s are the varieties mest in demand. In packing, each apple ie rolled up separately, im paper; this absorbs the moisture and preserves the fragrance of the frait. American apptes in Earope bring from $6 to $16 per bbl., and are in great demand. The Newtown, L. I., pippin is the most celebrated variety we have. Annexed are the RETAIL PRICES. BEEF. Pian. d.
