is stated :

" Loans are easily made at the rate of four per cent.
per annum, on call; and it is pretty difficult to pur-
chase any good stock at prices that will nat a much
13,,tter rate of interest than five per cent. The sub •
treasury of this port has been largely drawn on lately,
and the deposits have been reduced to less than ono
million of dollars. This has compelled the Government
to issue the balance of the last loan, to put itself in iunds
to meet the semi-annual interest on the public debt, due
kin the Ist of July, proximo."
Referring to the movements of breadstuff's, and the
rearms of the wester❑ and other ports, it is remarked—
" We should judge by this that the business on the
Illinois and Michigan Canal had been for the season
rather limited. N ithing will give much activity to the
daiprnents of produce from the principal lake ports, but
an advance in prim,s in the great Eastern markets, and
we see very little probability of such an event being
realised. Produce is aceutituliting at points on the
Wabash and Erie Canal, sod the farmers ore st,ring
corn, instead of forwarding it to market. It is itnp,is
bible to tell what course prices will take ; but in the
ah,,ence of any more evensive demand for shipment
than at pr: sent exists, the chances are in favour of a
decline.

" During till month of May, 313 vessels pa3iPd
through thn Welland Canal, exceeding the number of the
corresponding month in last year by 21, but not equal
to the extraordinary year preceding by 107. Ot the 313
that passed through, 119 went down to American, and
46 to Canadian ports ; and 113 up to the first named
ports, and 35 to the latti r."

The Californian news had reduced the rate of interes
at New Yolk.

The Qat•bec accounts state that the arrival of ship
from Europe to the 16th ult., were 94 ships, of 31,839
tons.

Accounts of May 23, from Venezuela, state that Pre-
sident Monagas had taken to flight to escape the popular
vengeance. _ _

The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders
have received no later news from Mexico, nor do we see
anything of novelty from that country in the American
papers._

The Hambugh mail advises us, under date of Friday
last, that a moderate business had been done in ex-
changes, the rate on England being 13 9i. Money was
easy, and in coffee an extensive business nad been done.
Sugar was quiet. At Amsterdam the stock market is
reported to have been very active.
The English Stock Market is exceedingly quiet this
morning, and the fine weather has induced many who
left on Saturday to remain out of town. The foreign
intelligence is scarcely of a nature to induce fluctuation,
and in the absence of money dealings, Consols remain
at the previous rates, viz., 91i to 92. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92i to 2, and the
Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities 91i 4. Exchequer-
bills have been supported, at 435. to 465., and India
Bonds at 71s. premium.
The Foreign Stock market has been tolerably firm,
with a moderate business doing. Spanish Five per
Cents. are 17 to 1; Portuguese Four per Cents. 29 to i;
Mexican 28/ to 1, and Grenada, 16. Dutch Two-anth
a-Half per Cents., ex-dividend, have been 50/. Russian
Stock is worth 1031 to 104.
Railway Shares are not so firm. Hudson's York lines
are lower, in anticipation of unfavourable reports from
the committee of investigation.
