is still called 1091-to 1091. Francs ,5.1£4t0 5.171. In
the, money cireular of Maire mid Kanz, issued fur the
a, 1 ng of the America, we read .the following:—Since our
adtices of the 28th ult., we have had no marked alteration
to notice in our Stock or Money market. There has been
less business done, and the disposition to speculate does
not Teem to be awakened by the inenssed ease with which
stock loans are effected. The fluctuations in prices have
been irregular, some being higher and some, lower -than
our last quotations, The appreciation of money in London
and the apprehension of a further advance in the rate of
the Bank of England, as well as the stringency now pre-
vailing in the North-Western states, jointly contribute
to neutralize the effect which, under other circumstances,
the present state of the money market might warrant."

COTrog.
Holders in this market are firm, and only sell when full
prices can be had. Shippers being pretty full do not buy
freely. We have, therefore, only moderate sales at the
quotations annexed, which are renewed from last week,
and these muss be retarded as nominal. The sales for the
week I estimate at 5,000 bales. The exports same time
hese been—To. Ziverpool. 3,080 bales; Havre, 390 e
Rotterdam, 400 ; Bremen, 317 ; Hamburg, 985 ; Antwerp,
2.l4—total, 5,426.
COTTON IN TRANSITU : Has been quiet, with but few
sales ; prices are uncharged, holders demanding full rates,
and buyers holding off. - The business in floating cotton is
nearly over for the season. Oar stock is quite t•mall.
Cane, &c.: The advices per mail from all, points at
the South confirm the preiious stateinents or injury by
frost and backward spring. The New Orleans Price
Current of 26th -April, reports :—" The weather has con-
:limed remarkable for its cold changes and uefavourable
character for bringing forward vegetation, and the hopes
of an early cotton crop, which at the opening of this month
were unusually flattering, are wholly blasted, -As we have
stated in a previous number, early planting was more
extensive than In any previous year, the early spring
having been unusually propitious, and replanting has been
rendered largely necessary, while a scarcity of seed is
complained of in many sections." The Savannah Price
Current of Ist May-reports as follows :—" The recent
cold, freezing, and uns aaonable weather ha's mnch retarded
tqe operaticia3 of the planter. The cotton that had been
up has been totally kilted, and will have to be replanted.
This, together with the fact of a scarcity of deed, owing to
the small crop of last season and its eonsumptiolf for other
purposes, will be a serious drawback to the planter, fully
one month of his labours having been lost by those adverse
events." Private advises confirm and Strengthen the
belief that the prospects for, the- crop are worse
at this time than for Many years past."
RECEIPTS, EXiORTS, &c.—The tables furnish the neces-
sary information on these points. It is-now needless to
comment on them. The business of the- season is fast
drawing to a close, and attention is. ;naturally directed to
the prospect for the growing crop.

The Vanderbilt arrived at Southampton on Friday
from New York, which port she left on the Gth instant,
having made the passage in 9 days. She brought 201
passengers, and specie to the value of 400,000 dollars.
She encountered very foggy weather from New York to
the S.E. edge of the banks of Newfoundland, and strong
gales from N.W. to N.H. with high seas, thence to the
11 th degree of long. She passed ,an iceberg, in lat. 43
deg. 45 min., long. 43 deg.
The news by this arrival is, from New York, four days
later. The steamer Indian, from Liverpool, had arrived
at Quebec.
The New York cotton market was rather quiet on the
