CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a fair demand for Cotton at Liverpool on
Saturday. Sales estimated at
.6,000 bales, including
1,000 for export and on speculation, and previous quo-
tations were well supported.
The following is the number of emigrants arrived at
Quebec during the week ending the 22d August :

The commercial accounts from Canada received by
the Caledonia are satisfactory as respects imports. The
crops are thus spoken of :
"The last week has been one of the warmest of the
season, the thermometer, in the shade, having risen for
several days in succession to between 80 and 90 degrees.
" The warmth and drought have hastened the ripen-
ing of every kind of crops, perhaps too rapidly, to
allow of .their beir', well filled, and the haying
was not finished till the grain harvest was pressing. In
other respects the grain crops do not appear, in this
neighbourhood, to have received any material injury.
A greater quantity of wheat was sown this spring than
usual, and the season having been favourable, some fields
are beautiful, and the ears heavy. The quantity of
potatoes planted in the country parts has been less than
usual, on account of the failure last year, and the
scarcity and dearness of seed.
"From a pretty extensive observation and informa-
tion, the potato crop has, as yet, not been materially in-
jured in this district, and they are nearly ripe.
" The gardens have suffered by the heat and drought.
The apples, although still abundant, have been attacked
by the worm more extensively than usual.
" There have been some showers yesterday afternoon
and last night, and the temperature is now more mode-
rate.—August 17.
" Again, the reports of the crops from the United
States, Upper Canada, the districts of Montreal and St.
Francis, are, upon the whole, favourable. In this part
of the country the larvaeof the wheat fly have certainly
appeared in some wheat fields, and there are complaints
of the blight in parts of some popato fields; but it is still
doubtful if it is the same as last year. The potatoes are
already large and some of them nearly ripe ; and we
have seen no potatoes in the markets that can be said to
be affected with the incipient rot of last year."
In a New York paper of August 31, it is stated that :
It will be perceived that there has been a falling off of
several per cent. in United States' sixes since July 30th,
and that they are now nearer par than they have been
for a long time. This has been caused by the fears of a
further depreciation in the market value of Government
stock by a further issue. It is anticipated that the Go-
vernment will be compelled to resort to a direct loan of a
large amount. The Treasury notes will answer a very
good purpose, but doubts are entertained of the possi-
bility of getting more than ten millions into circulation.
An issue of these notes to that amount will have a very
favourable effect upon the money markets, and enable
the Government, in the event of Congress authorising a
direct loan, to raise money npon an issue of stock, much
easier and much cheaper than it could under existing
circumstances.

A small amount of the issue of Treasury notes
authorised has as yet been put into circulation, and the
money markets have not therefore realised the relief an-
ticipated. These issues have been put out at a nominal
rate of interest, and there is •ery little doubt but that
the whole ten millions can, with judicious arrangement,
be put into circulation upon equally favourable terms.
This will insure their circulation through the channels
of commeree, and, add so much to the currency of the
country.

The accounts of May 17 from Sydney, received this
morning, state that there had been no arrival from
England for twenty-three weeks, a most unusual delay,
and that at least ten vessels were due. Neither the
January nor February packets had arrived. There is
nothing of particular interest from the colony. Wheat
was from ss. 6d. to 6s. per bushel.
There has been a slight decline in the Public Securi-
ties to-day. Consols for transfer have been at 95i 96 ;
and for the Account at 96. Exchequer-bills have been
just sold at 10s. premium.
The transactions in the Foreign Stocks and in the
Railway Shares have been very trifling to-day.
