CITY, QUAIL TER TO TIIA2EE.
‘:ales of Cotton Liverp,d yesterday eec from
7,0a0 to t 3,006 I U&) ba!es ,Acfe o ken in
on sr principally iniAiling quaii,i:s of
trfttrican. For E2yptiin and Savats, decidedly full
prices have Leen paid. The tenor of the accounts from
the United States favour the movements of the specu-
lators.
By the last accounts received from Canada, we are
happy to observe that the directors of the St. Lawrence
and Atlantic Railroad have resolved upon commencing
that important work, and proceedii,g with it through the
eastern township, witliout present reference either to
the general body of ,scripholders in London, or
to Americans. We have no doubt that, by pursuing this
course, they will ultimately procure ready subscriptions
in England, to complete it to the Province line, or as far
towards it as would be necessary for a purely Canadian
eaterprise. There is no question that will be of great
advantage to Montreal, and as the first sections which
are prop. sed to be completed and at once opened to the
public will command a large traffic, the attention of ca-
pitalists will be effectually attracted.
With respect to the cotton crop of the United States
we are thus advised by the latest arrival:—
" NEW ORLEANS COTTON TRADE, 1845 AND 1846.
The season commencing on the Ist of September last
may be said to have opened under highly flattering
prospects for ready sales, at fair prices—a position of the
market in favourable contrast with the gloomy features
which characterized the advent of the previous year. This
cheering promise was derived from a view of the un-
paralleled degree of activity which prevailed in the ma-
nufactures both of Europe and this country, and blight
anticipations were very general), entertained, notwith-
standing the early impression which prevailed that the
crop would prove a large one. As the season advanced,
however, its progress demonstrated a very material
falling off in the amount of production, as compared
with the previous year—a circumstance which would
unquestionably have led to an important enhancement
of prices under a continuance of the favourable fea-
tures which marked the opening of the commercial
year."

hills command 19s. premium; and East India Bonds are

and the Four per Cent. Certificates 921.
