RONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterday was dull and
heavy, but prices have not varied from previous quotations.
The sales were over 4,000 bales.
Shares in established lines are lower to day, and in scrips
almost impossible to make sales, except at considerable
reductions.
The total value of imports at the port of Toronto, for the
year ending the sth of January, 1846, is 124,7471. sterling,
the revenue collected, 22,200/. currency. The increase on
several important articles has been very considerable; and
if the duty on some of these, such as tea and tobacco, had not
been reduced, the revenue would have shown an amount cor-
responding with it. The increased importation of tea alone,
as compared with last year, is 65,2891b5.
Estimated value of exports, 187,700/.•
Increase of shipping en Lake Ontario in the year 1845 :
Two ships, three brigs, three schooners, and one propellor;
total, 2,712 tons.

The Bank Directors, therefore, are pursuing a very steady
course, and the items are the same nearly in regard to their
continued increase or decrease as they were in the preceding
week.
The English Sti ck Market is exceedingly dull, and prices
are almost nominal. Consols realise 95% to 96 for present
transfer, and 96 for time. Tlie premium on Exchequer-bills
has been 23i. to 265. Bank Stock for Account has been
worth 212 k
The nreign Bonds are slack also. Spanish Five per
Cents. 25%; the Passive, 5%; Portuguese Old, 78; Buenos
Ayres have been 381/2 to 39; Grenada Deferred, 41/2 ; and
Venezuela 44.
The Share Market is giving way gill, sad everything dealt
in has been lower, whether scrip or established lines.
The share auction by Messrs. ',amend yesterday afternoon
attracted more buyers than could have been expected, but
only at low rates. Still, lowever, prices are even more de
pressed in the Stock Exchange to-day.
