MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yeaterJay were esti-
mated at 5 000 bales, all to the trade, comprising about
4 000 American, 350 Egyptian, at 841. to 9d.; and 300
Surat, ut 51 to 61. per lb. The market was quiet at
previous rates —Railway Shares were dull and heavy at
rather lower prices.
The steamer America has arrived with the United
States and Canada mails. There had been no variation

in quotations for foreign exchange since the departure
of the Arctic. Drawers were firm, but the demand bad
not been very active. Tee quotations were—on London,
105 to 104 per cent. premium; on Paris, sf. 114 c. to
sf. 10e.; Amsterdam, 414 to 414; Hamburgb, 364 to 37;
Bremen, 794 to 80. The exports of specie from New
York, for the week ending the 21st ult., amounted to
355,104 dolls., nearly two-thirds of which were silver.
Total export for 1850, 9,221,191 dolls.
Respecting the market for American State Securities,
we are advised from New York, that " with one or two
exceptions prices do not range higher than at this time
last wt ek, while the favourable appearance of political
affairs in Europe is certainly equal to the advance
realiz.d on the exceptions alluded to. It is possible
that in view of the favourable news from the other
side, an advance in most of the fancies will be re.
aliza; but we hardly conceive it possible for that
advance to amount to more than two or three per cent.
at the utmost. It present prices are sustained, it is a
great thing gained, and as much as holders can expect
at this season of the year. It prices go on improving as
they have for some time past, we cannot see what mar-
gin there will be for the " spring rise," even in the
event of political events continuing tranquil. The spirit
of speculation runs as high at this moment as at any
previous time this year; and there appears to be no let
up to the excitement. It is, however, pretty certain
that fancy stocks generally are accumulating in Wall.
street; that they are becoming concentrated in the hands
of brokers, who will doubtless find it difficult to get rid
of them again unless at a depte,:iation. If the advance
in prices continues long at the rate realised to-day, there
must be a collapse of a most disastrous character. The
rise has been too rapid to be permanent, and a reaction
of some importance, will, without doubt, be the result.
Accounts of December 12th from Porto Rico state
that abundant mists had prevailed throughout the island,
and the prospects for the coming crops were very flat-
tering. A small parcel of new sugar had been sold on
the north side at 54c. for St. Thomas, It was generally
supposed that Sugars would open at 3 dolls. to 4 dolls. as
per quality. Molasses 10c. to 12e. per gallon. Nothing
had been doing in Coffee, the picking of which had been
much retarded by the heavy rains.
Considerable excitement had lately prevailed on the
island, occasioned by the report of an intended invasion
by Narcisso Lopez from Hayti, and heavy detachments
et' troops had been ordered to Mayaguts, the nearest
point to Ha) ti.
The St. John's New Brunswick courier states:—

" Since the alteration of the navigation laws, allowing
foreign ships to carry cargoes between the colonies and
the mother country, there bare been up to the present
date 50 foreign vessels loaded at this port for Great Bri-
tain with timber, deals, &c., the total tonnage of which
amounted to 21,609 tons. Of these, 21 vessels belonged
to the United States, 10 to Prussia, 10 to Norway, 6 to
Germany, 1 to Denmark, 1 to Austria, and 1 to Naples."
A paragraph in the Newfoundland Times gives an ac-
count of a very strange phenomena which recently oc-
curred in the neighbourhood of Conception Bay. It
says that the whole island is in all probability rising
out of the ocean, with a rapidity which threatens at no
far-off period, materially to affect if not utterly destroy
many of the best harbours on the coast of Newfound.
land. A series of observations, made by a number of
scientific gentlemen at Port-de-Grace, it is asserted,
proves beyond a doubt that the sea level in the vicinity is
being rapidly displaced.
The Montreal Herald publishes a table of the move-
ment by canals, upwards, during the past season, which
presents a most gratifying picture of the increasing
value of the canals. The amount carried is more than
50 per cent. larger than in 1849, the quantity in that
year being 40,479 tons, while this year it is 60,566 tons.
In salt and coal there is a reduction; 4 214 tons salt
and 1,178 of coal, rgainst 6,141, both united in 1849,
but in every other article there is an increase; of rail-
road pig iron, and broken castings, there was carried in
1849, 11,439 tons, while this year there was 23,466
toes; of fish there was 1,074 tons, against this year
1,768 tons ; of earthenware, 1,769 tons, against
1,047; in sugar and molasses there is an enormous
increase, 3,431 tons, against 990 tons in 1849.
This shows the much larger amount bought of these
articles in Montreal, than during the previous year, and
the consequent decrease in the trade with the Sates.
Of castings, bar iron, and nails, 5 565 tons against
10,262 tons in 1950 ; and, of general merchandiz,,
14,223 tons in 1849, against 14,492 during the past year.
Accounts from Leipsic announce the preparations for
commencing the fair, but up to the Ist inst. the number
of merchants who had arrived was small.

At Ht►mburgh last Friday the exchange on London
rose schilling. Coffee was very quiet, but raw Sugar
was in more demand. Grain was (lull.
