CITY, Q UA.III

TO THREI

The Cotton Market at. Liverpool yesterday was firm,
at the previous advance, althou h the accounts from Ame-
rica notice some relaxation in the speculation going for-
ward. Sales 7,000 bales, including 500 bales American
on spec ulation, and 500 for.exportation. Shares were
steady, though not active.

The accounts from the United States, per Hibernia,-
are almost entirely occupied with the warlike operations
in Mexico, which are again, despite rather a gallant re-
sistance, all in favour of Brother Jonathan. The
markets for produce have been active again, and large
shipments continued to be made to Europe.
Respecting political affairs in British North America,
the following is interesting :—" There has been no
change in the heads of departments, forming the Execu-
tive Council or 'Responsible Government,' since the
departure of Lord Metcalfe, excepting the appointment
of Mr. Caylcy as Inspector-General of Accounts, and
the retirement of Mr. D. B. Viger, who was President
of the Committees of the Executive Council : we have
not heard of any other being appointed.
" Some new signs of life, have, however, been shown
on the part of the Ministry, who resigned in 1843,
although they had a decided majority in the Assembly.
The ensuing election put them in a small minority, and
they kept up a continued clamour and opposition during
the two past sessions, without, however, proposing any-
thing in the shape of reform, of which 'A e had heard so
much. They, in fact, sanctioned all the past expendi-
tures, in establishing which, they, indeed, had some
share, when in power ; concurring in old and new taxes,
and imposing new laws, and new burdens on the com-
munity."
Upon the subject of the timber trade, we are advised
by Messrs. Forsyth and Bell, of Canada, that " the
winds, which in August and the early part of September
were prevalent from the west, have changed, and for the
last fortnight have brought up a very heavy fleet, about
300 having arrived since our last, and our port now is
in full bustle and activity.
" White Pine.—The accounts from Liverpool are to
the 18th ult., when'a steady demand for wood goods was
experienced, and prices had gradually advanced since
spring lid to 2d. per foot on mostly every kind of
square timber. This, with the tonnage now in port,
and daily expected, would, in ordinary times, have been
very perceptibly felt in our market ; but the heavy
stock on hand in some measure neutralises the effect of
the progressive advance in England, and many sellers
are most anxious to realise. Still the sales have been
on an extended scale, at prices varying from 3d to sid.,
in the raft, measured off."

The accounts from India by the overland express bear
out what was stated under this head when the pre-
vious arrival took place, and there seems to be
a continued heavy appearance in the markets for im-
ported goods. In exports there had been a slight
increase of business at Calcutta, and the rate of the
exchange was again lower. At Bombay the markets
also were dull. Freights were tending downwards.
The weather and the approaching Poojal holidays
checked business, but as regards imports the stocks no
doubt were too large.
At a meeting of parties connected with the Indigo
trade, it has been decided that the future sales shall be
held in February and May, and that goods in second
hands shall be separately catalogued.
The Stock Market is to-day by no means in a better
:tate than at the conclusion of business yesterday after-
noon, and it is certain that the nature of the intelli-
gence from Lisbon, Madrid, and Gibraltar, combined,
made a decided impression here in encouraging Bear
operations. Consols are now 94 to I-, being full per
cent. lower than they were yesterday morning for imme-
diate transfer. Time bargains have been effected at
94k- to 94k. New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. have
been 94 to 95, a similar decline on the previous rates of
this week. Exchequer-bills are almost nominal at Bs.
premium. Bank Stock is worth 204 only, and India
Stock 256 to 257.

The Foreign Bonds all share in the decline. Spanish
Three per Cents. are 36} t, the Five per Cents. 25fi ;
Portuguese Converted, 38i to 40 ; and Mexican, 21i to
t. This is settling-day, and there are some rather con-
siderable differences to make good.
Shares Lave been generally well supported. There is
a call upon North Staffords, and this makes them lower.
French lines are dull.
