MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREP.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 to 6,000
bales, at previous prices, the market being unsettled.--shares were
firm, and good stock realised fuller prices.
The accounts of the American uiarkeis are not considered favour-
able, nor could they be expected to ha so, now the war with America
has commenced.

From Canada we are advised as follows:
" The weather has been dry and warm at vontreal for some days
past. To-day the thermometer is at 72 deg. in the shade. Wind
south, cloudy, with appearance of rain. The progress of vegetation
has been rapid, and the seed time favourable. The plum and cherry
trees are lu full blossom, and the flowers begin to show themselves on
the early apple-trees. The Lombardy poplars are now green,
although not in full leaf, and the forest trees on the mountain begin
to look green. So far there are indications of a favourable year.
" It is singular, with all the appearances of slimmer, to see ice
lying on three or four of the wharves, where it was lett by the sudden
fall of the water last month.

" The communication with the upper part of the river and lakes, is
now completely free. Propellers arc daily arriving in the port with
loaded barges from Upper Canada, and they return by the Beau-
harnois and Cornwall Canals, and may go to Lake Michigan, p,ss-
through the Welland. The passage from St. John to Whitehall is
now down to 2s. 6d., breakfast included. They come from New York
in 41 hours."

There is a very sensitive market for the English Funds, in conse-
quence of the intelligence from Mexico, and the reaction in Consuls is
% to % per cent., money bargains having been effected as low as
96 ,and time transactions at 96%. The premium on Exchequer-
bills has been steady at 15s. to I9s. ; New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. are 97% to 97%. East India Bonds are worth 275. pre-
mium. This is " pay" day, and it goes off tolerably well.
The Foreign Bonds have been more animated. Spanish Actives
for account have realised 24 to 243, and the Coupons of 1846, 1834
The Three per Cei,ts. have been 36% to 37. 31,:xican Stock suffers
materially froai the warlike state of affairs in the republic. The
Five per Cents. have been done at 30% and 29%, and the Three per
Cents at 173 E and 16. Grenada Deferred Bones have been done at
4%. Russian Stock is worth 110 to 10934, Dutch Two-and-a. Halt
per Cents. are marked 60.

Short are flatter to day, as might be expected from the reaction
in the other markets.
