pe FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Paway, Angust 14—3 P. M. The money market continues pretty active, até for call loans, and 6a 7 for first class paper, ac- eording to length. We hear, however, of 2 line of first class paper,60 days to run, going at7 per cent. Per contra, @ leading house borrowed yes- terday, on United States securities, a very large wom indeed, at 3 per cent, and relent $100,000 of ton New York State stocks at 4, for fifteen days. ‘There is no difficulty in borrowing on fair market- able stocks at 6, and lenders find it difficult to get over that rate for money. The Bob-Treasury business yesterday was fair; the receipts were $292,000, of which $139,000 from customs; the payments, $267,063; the balance this evening, $5,992,976. ‘An active business has been done in foreign ex- ehange for the steamers which sail to-morrow. At the leading banking houses the asking rates have been 1097 a 110 for sixty day sterling bills, and 110} aj for short sight; for bills on Paris, 5.13} a 14) for sixty days, and 5.10j for short sight. Good mercentile bills are offerred at 109$ a §. The eteamers which sail to-morrow will probably take eut a very large amount of gold, chiefly eoin. Id is impossible to estimate the ship- ment st the time we write, but it will probably be between $1,600,000 and $2,000,000. ‘The stock market opened this morning with con- elderable buoyancy, anda marked advance was realized in all the speculative securities. As was the case yesterday, after the “board a slight reac- tion took place; in the afternoon the market was steady at the reaction, and stocks closed without change. The most buoyant stock on the list was Riinois Central, Which sold as high as 89 this morn- fmog—an advance of 1{ over the closing price yes- werday. At midday theprice was about 88}; atthe close 88} wos bid. We did not give currency this morning to the rumors regarding Mr. Nathaniel Ranks’ appointment as Vice Pre- sident and resident Director of this company at Chicago, as at the close of business hours he had not definitely accepted the post. It seems, however, to be taken for granted that the afiair is settled; and as Mr. Banks’ administrative capacity is well known, the company is receiving congratalations on the acquisition. Rock Island and Galena were higher this morning; the ad- vance in the latter, however, was checked by free sales, and the stock closed at 81} bid, against 82 at the close yesterday. Toledo advanced 1 per sent in the morning, closing 48} bid, against 484 at the close yesterday. Michigan Central ad- vanced 1} per cent, and Southern, both kinds, rose about as much. In the afternoon they were pretty steady. Hudson River was wanted at 60 at the morning board; it fell off afterward, and at the close only 58} was bid, against 58] yesterday. Central advanced j a 4, Erie 3, Harlem 4, at the morning board; in the afternoon they were all rather firm. The business in bonds and State stocks continues light, but prices are well sustained. ‘The issues of the Chicago and Northwestern are * $m demand at improving prices. The last quota- tions of the day were:—Virginia 6's, 90] a 91; Mis- souri 6's, 81} a 82; Canton, 20; Cumberland Coal, preferred, 15 a 16; Pacific Mail, 79} a 80: New York Central, 84; a 4; Erie, 29] a 30); Hudson River, 58} a 59}; Harlem, 18} 419; do. preferred, 47 a 48; Reading, 46} a [; Michigan Central, 73 a 3; Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, 23 a 3; do. guaranteed, 47] a 48; Panama, 125 a 126; Ilinois Central, 88}. }; Galena and Chicago, $1] a 82; Cleveland and Toledo, 48} a }; Chicago and Rock Island, 827 a 83}. The importation of dry goods for the week ending this day is in excess of that of the corresponding week of each of the two past years. The figures ere $3,145,000, against $2,511,000 for same week Jast year, and $2,213,000 for same week of 1508, Last year’s excess over this year is now less than mine millions. If our importers increase their or- ders much more they cannot fail to bring about as wnfortunate a state of things as befel them last year. The South, this fall, cannot afford to buy as freely as he did last year; and the West has old debts to pay before contracting new ones. ‘The City of Baltimore's news at Cape Race is commercially favorable. Cotton had advanced }, and was buoyant at the advance. Breadstatls were higher and steady. Consols had declined { a 2, owing, itis gaid, to warlike ramors. It will probably turn out that the bad harvest, which always affects the funds prejadicially, has more to do with the decline than foreign politics.

The canal was greatly damaged, and is rendered useless for about two weeks on account of the repaire required. All the stones, dirt, &c., floated into the canal, and in many places completely tilled it even with the ground, It was found necessary to draw off the water, and the doats wbich happened to be in the neighborhood are alt aground, ‘Opposite Manayunk some of the embankmeats along iladelpbia and Reading Railroad were washed away, Men were immediately set to work to repair the damage, ‘and the trains will probably run through without inter: ference this afternoon. The traing upon the Philadelphia, Germantown and Nor- ristown Railroad were detained about an hour in conae- quence of the track being covered with sand, &c, Tho detention was in the vicinity of Manayunk, as scarcely y rain fell either at Soring Falls, above that place, or at the Falls of the Schuykill, ort distance below, The flood caused a great commotion among the iuhabi- tenis of Manayunk, and apprehensions of a more serious lose were felt. The Wiseabicken creek is much swollen. Gorgas’ cot- ton mili, it is reported, has been completely carried The mill isan extensive one, and, if the rumor heavy. jeimity of Chestnct Hill the storm appears to imoet equally destructive, All the stores ‘and the dirt was washed completely from the Germantown turnpike, leaving nothing but the stones. A stone bridge over Cresham’s creek, near Hill's mills, was demolished, Along the turnpike, near the Mermai lane, the ground is low and the water centred there. Ooe two houres were flooded near Francis’ mills, and one | man was compelled to take bis family out of the second | story window. A emall log cabin at the junction of the two roads was destroyed The Chestnot Hill Railroad was greatly damaged, and it is thought that the trains will be unable to page over | for several days. In the deep cut between Mount Airy sta- | tion aud Chestout Hill, stones were washed uj the track i wotusely, ant it ig estimated that | quite profusely, an estimal there are now | sarge seams about four tons pon it. The bridge of the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad | over the Franklin creek, tt is ramored, bas been washed awa; The storm seems not to have reached the built up por- tion of the city. Although it rained bere almost the en- tire night, there were no heavy showers. The water in the Schuylkill had risen some eighteen inches last evening, but this is Dot suiictent to cause any damage.

It is quite true that the cob- ble stones are falling into disuse, to be replaced by more moders and superior kinds of street pavement; but, not- withstanding this fact, it will be some years before the faces of the cobble stones will have been classed the things tbat were. Most of our commerc' streets are paved with cobble stones, and are frequently out of repair in consequence of the heavy loads of mer- chandice passing over them. It hag bees the practice fees y those haying ee — when @treets get out of repair, to pateb uy depressed spots wherever they might occur. This arrangement, after years of experience. has proved very ve unsatisfactory. It would be more economical in the end, where a stréet of cobble etoue pavement geta out of re- pair, to pave it wholly ancw, than to resort to the patching process. “Many of our etreets are now out of repair, and from the inanition and supine ness of the Croton Aquedvet Board, there appears no remedy at hand. In to the objects we bayo urged on the part of economy in this matter, we are re- minded by eminent local gentlemen’ well conver- tant ip sanitary allots, that the present condition of the cobble stone pavement, filled as it is with ruts and holes, forming as they do receptacles for the aggregation of filth, has a serious tendeucy to the increase of our mor- tality bills, City Inspector’ Delavan, whom the pablia hold responsible for the bealth of the metropols, has repeatedly called the attention of the Common Council and Croton Board to this matier, and urged the impor- tance of a speedy remedy’, but uo attention hag been paid to his petition. Tar Woman's Liprany.—In the course of the ensuing month (September) a “woman's library” is to be opened ina room of the New York University building.
