MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
This being Christmas day all the public offices arc
closed, and at the Ccffec-houses there is but a small
attendance.

We copy the following from the Nett Fork Deily
Express of the 9th December :=" The port:of Quebec
has now assumed its usual dreary appearance for five
months in the year, the vessels having kit it. The
weather continues unusually mild for the season. Yes-
terday, the 29th November, the temperature was op
to 45, and this morning it was 40. The snow remains
along the fences, but the roads and fields arc nearly
bare. A little floating ice still remains in the rivers,
but front the state of the wind and weather, the last
vessel which sailed on Friday was up with those which
sailed a week before.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—We
have had a very active demand throughout the week,
and the transactions have been increased consulerab:y,
averaging for the five days near 8,000 bales a-day.
Priaes of American descriptions have advanced id. to id.
the lower qu.dities ; and Sarats rid. per lb. Br.:zils are
steady, and go off at full prices, but Egyptians are
without improvement. In Sea Islands no particular
change, prices firm. Speculators have taken 7,500
bales of American, and 4,5Q0 Surats. Exporters 350
Carthagena.
