MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
steady. Sales 6,000 bales, of which 5,000 were Ameri-
can and sold at 31d. to aid. per lb. Railway Shares
were active, and higher again.
The Acadia steamer furnishes accounts from 4New
York, &c., but not of much later date. The Money
Market was rather easy, as there was less demand for
bullion for shipment. It is satisfactory to observe
that the finances of Maine and Virginia were
in a favourable position. We are told as the
result of the postal difficulties at Lewiston, on the
frontier of Canada, that more than fifteen hundred
papers, from the United States for the western part of
Canada, are detained for the lack of payment of postage;
and the same may be said of all the other frontier towns.
The evil was seriously felt, and the expediency of es-
tablishing branch steamers to run up the St. Lawrence
with the mails to and from the mother country was
seriously mooted in the papers.
A party writing from Canada, states :—" We have
learned a very interesting fact, that an American
gentleman is now in Montreal for the purpose of buying
cured fish, to export to Cincinnati by our inland waters
from this colony. Five hundred barrels of mackarel,
we understand, will pass by this route, instead of the
much longer, and more tedious ono of the Atlantic, and
ascend the Mississippi. The road to the Western
States by Canada, and the canals is unquestionably the
nearest and cheapest, and much earlier in time, than the
circuitous route of New Orleans."
From Quebec we have the following comparative
statement of arrivals and tonnage in the years 1847-8,
up to the 14th of June inclusive:-
1847
1848

23 vessels. ... 5,013 tons more this year.
Accounts from Constantinople state that 2,000 houses
have been destroyed by a conflagration there.
The revenue returns, although as good as could be
expected, are hardly considered to bear out the views of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The Stock Market has been very buoyant again this
morning, with a further advance amounting to 1 per
cent. Special transfers have been made in Consols for
money at 81 to 1, and subsequently at 87:1. For time
the extreme prices have been 87i and 87k. The state-
ment concerning a declaration of war by Russia has not
obtained credence in the City. Exchequer-bills of March
are 40s. premium, and India Bonds are 19s. to 21s. pre-
mium. Bank Stock is 191 to 193. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter Per Cents. have been 87i to 884. Bank
Stook is 191 to 153.

The Foreign Bonds are firm. Spanish Three per
Cents. 22 to 224, Portugese old Bonds 64k, and Bra-
zilian 68. Mexican are 17+. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. 45 to 45k. The entrance of Cabrera into
Spain has but little effect.

The Railway Share Market is very firm, and with fair
purchases.
