'MOSEY and COMMERCIAL !NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
steady. Sales 6,000 bales, of which 5,000 were Ameri-
can and sold at 38d. to 3id. per lb. Railway Shares
were active, and higher again.
The Acadia steamer furnishes accounts from 'New
York, 84. e., but not of much later date. The Money
Market was rather easy, as there was less demand for
bullion for shipment. It is satisfactory to observe
that the finances of Maine and Virginia were
in a favourable position. We are told as the
result of the postal difficulties at Lewiston, on the
frontier of Canada, that more than fifteen hundred
papers, from the United States for the western part of
Canada, are detained for the lack of payment of postage;
and the same may be said of all the other frontier towns.
The evil was seriously felt, and the expediency of es-
tablishing branch steamers to run up the St. Lawrence
with the mails to and from the mother country was
seriously mooted in the papers.
A party writing from Canada, states :—" We have
learned a very interesting fact, that an American
gentleman is now in Montreal for the purpose of buying
cured fish, to export to Cincinnati by our inland waters
from this colony. Five hundred barrels of mackerel,
we understand, will pass by this route, instead of the
much longer, and more tedious one of the Atlantic, and
ascend the Mississippi. The road to the Western
States by Canada, and the canals is unquestionably the
nearest and cheapest, and much earlier in time, than the
circuitous route of New Orleans."
From Quebec we have the following comparative
statement of arrivals and tonnage in the years 1847-8,
up to the 14th of June inclusive:-
