The business of the week has been hard for buyers from

at 7 per rent. exchange.
The regular packets are doing a good business in coast-
wise freights, while there is a constant demand for both
north and across the Atlantic.
Northern produce bean a high price, the market being
bare of the leading articles.

TWO DAYS LATER, BY ELECTRIC TELE-

GRAPH TO HALIFAX.
Advices from New York to the afternoon of the
2Gth arrived in time to be put on board the America
at Halifax.
These state that the news by the Europa, which
reached New York by telegraph on Tuesday, and
the details on Thursday (26th) had produced little
effect on the cotton market, which remained firm at
' advancing rates. Her advices had a marked effect
on the corn and flour markets, causing an advance
of G Ic. to 12Ic. on flour, 2c. to 4c. on wheat, and
2c. to 3c.:onandian corn. The orders and letters from
England are unusually large, but the scarcity of
vessels limits business.

Sr. Ltxtes's Ctrh.—A petition has been presented
to the Court of Chancery by the promoters of this club to
I wind up its affair under the act.
