COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.,

NEW YORK, Faa. 16.
The steam-ship El Dorado arrived this afternoon from
Chagres, with 1,092,718 doh. in gold on freight.
As the El Dorado did not arrive until after business hours,
her news had no effect upon the money market. Sterling
i exchange was in good demand in the early part of the day,
and large sales were made at 110 to 1101; bills on l'aris sold
et 6 doh. 161 e. to 5 dolt 15c.; Amsterdam, 414 to 411;
Hamburg, 361 to 361 ; Bremen, 781 to 781. Ihe stock
market was heavy this morning; nothing was done in
government securities; state stocks were equally imictive. A
few Virginia Bonds sold at I advance, whilst Eric It de-
Canal lined 1, Harlem 1, Heading 1, Erie '7l Bonds 1, Morris
b.
We are sorry to be obliged to announce another suspen•
sion, Messrs. Carleton and Co., one of our largest silk
bowies, was obliged to suspend payment to-dsy. Their lia-
bilities are about 700,000 dots., and they show a surplus of
140,000 dole. assets. Immediate cash relief was needed,
which could not be had upon terms which would be sub-
' mined to.

CurroN.—Sinee our last review of the 11th inst., per
Niagara, the sales have amounted to 15,300 bales. The
favourable advice, per Pacific, received 12th inst., produced
no effect, being counteracted by the advance in freight
from Id. to Id., the latter rate being paid to day for a full
cargo. Prices therefore remain the same at this point as
last quoted. At New Orleans the market has advanced Ic
" middling" being quoted at 7le. to 71c. on the 14th, with
sale.. of 10,000 bales; freight, Id. As orders can be exe-
cuted there on better terms than here at the moment,
owing to low freights, much bu.iress has passed by us. On
the subject of crop, we have nothing sew to advise. We
adhere to our original opinion, namely, that 2,700,000 bales
have been grown, but that the quantity that will reach the
ports will depend upon the prices ruling. At or under Sc.
at New Orleans, we doubt whether the total receipts will
exceed 2,500,000 bales. We are informed that estimates
generally at New Orleans are now reduced to 2,600,000
bales.

CANADA.
Oar correspondent writes:
TORONTO. Fu. 13.
A despatch from Earl Grey on the subject of the Halifax
and Quebec Railroad has thrown Canada and the sister
provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia into a state
of commotion, and I think the effect will be to break up
the great inter-colonial scheme for the construction, with
the aid of the imperial guarantee, of the railway above
named. Either Earl Grey has broken his promise in the
matter, or Mr. Howe has wofully misunderstood him. and
the provinces, u may be naturally supposed, are wrath
at both.

•The principal p3litic il topic in Canada is the acceptance
by Mr. M. Cameron of the presidency of the council. Ilis
conduct is being severely scanned in relation to it by the
opposition press, and as warmly defended by the ministe-
rial. It is proposed to attach a bureau of agriculture to
this office. . . .

The report of the St. LlMTellet and Atlantic Railroad
Cotnn shows that the railway to connect Montreal with
Portland on the Atlantic ocean le in a very forward con-
dition.

The intelligence from England of the rise in the price of
flour has caused the price of wheat to go up in Canasta
from 2s. fel. and 2s. 9d. is 3s. CO. and 31. ltd. per bushel.
There have been operations ut both of these latter prices. /
believe that the tanners hold a grs- at deal of wheat which
they have nut brought Into market, in consequence of the
lowness of the price ; and they find it difficult to do so now,
as the winter roads are hrealsin; up, and we have neither
good sledging nor good roads for whtels.,l vadat,.
