The Sun.
London, England, 1860-09-07 00:00:00

a gorgeous procession has been arranged for the
occasion ; but the rail is and has been since daylight
pouring in such torrents that it is quite impossible
that any outdoor display can be attempted. Mon-
treal is sure to be wild with disappointment at this,
and it has been suggested that if the Prince does
disembark to-day h should do so privately, return-
ing again on board to land iu State to-morrow.
To-morrow, however, like every day of the tour,
has its own special business. He opens the Cana-
dian Exhibition at 11, and the Victoria-bridge at 2.
Each of these events would well be worth long
letters, but I must summarize their interest to the
utmost, for on Monday fresh events will again
demand attention.

6 O'CLOCK, P.M.

The landing ceremonial has been postponed till
to-morrow, at 9 a.m. The weather is still wretchedly
unfavourable, though it seems not to exercise any
influence on the Montreal excitement, which is still
at fever heat. The whole city is a perfect blossom
of wreaths, evergreens, flags, and banners, and it is
all but impossible to get accommodation even of
the humblest kind and at the most exorbitant rates.
To-morrow the landing, the grand procession, the
receipt and answer of addresses, opening the Exhi-
bition, opening the bridge, and a banquet in the
evening, have all to be got through somehow. Who
wouldn't go on a Royal progress ? It is now all
but certain that, after leaving Niagara, the Prince
will go by rail to Detroit and Chicago, thence
down part of the Mississippi and up th Ohio to
Cincinnati, and so on by rail to Washington, New
York, and Boston.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

During the last few days rather less activity has
prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Markets
Tea at public sale declined about ld. per lb. for the
low and medium qualities. Sugars have be en less
inquired for, and only the superior kinds have been
maintained at late rates. Coffee, however, has
been in active request, the finer kinds of Planta-
tion Ceylon having realised advanced prices. Rice
has continued inactive, and prices tended down-
wards. For saltpetre there has been a moderate
demand, and only a limited business has been
transacted in oils-and tallow at slightly reduced
quotations.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with an upward tendency, and compared with last
Friday's quotations, Surat were id. to id. per lb.
higher, The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales,
of which 4,000 were taken on speculation. In the
Railway Share Market a fair amount of business
was transacted, and several of the lines further
advanced.

There is a steady demand for discount accommo-
dation, but the supply of commercial bills being
small in comparison with the available resources of
bankers and others, the rates still tend downwards.
Unless some impulse should be given to the inquiry
a further decline may occur, especially as the Octo-
ber dividends will probably experience a favourable
influence. The present quotation for superior mer-
cantile bills is about 31 per cent., but bills with only
a few days to run are negotiable on easier terms.
The half-yearly meeting of the Submarine Tele-
graph Company has just been held, when it was
stated that the number of despatches sent by the
company's line was 78,713, which is an increase of
19,359 messages when compared with the previous
half year. After some discussion the report was
adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent.
per annum was declared for the six months ending
30th June last.

for Public Securities to-day, but notwithstanding
