The'stoek of sugars on hand is reported at 14000
boxes. Prices had declined, but without any regu-
larity, in figures. Exchange on London, 10i to 11.
per cent. premium. In freights there was no de-
nlnd on large vessels. Those carrying from 600 to
2,000, boxes for Europe had been taken up at from
2L ss. to 2 15s.

The New York Tribune announces with feelAtcrs
of profound regret the suspension of Thomas and
Martin, of Philadelphia.
The Central Bank of Fredericton had suspended.
The cotton-market was quite strong, . and
middlinguplands, which were scarce, reached 11fo. ;
good middling, 12c. ; middling fine, 121 c. Holders
were not pressing sales in consequence of the' small
supply. Of cotton in transitu there was a larger
quantity offering, but buyers were unwilling to
operate until advised of a more settled trade in Eng-
land. The Southern markets had been less in-
fluenced by the unfavourable financial and -n-
-niercial accomits from England than was expected.
It is reported that the frost had stopped the
farther growth of the new crop, but the estimates
of the yield in the South ranged from 3,000,0001 b.
as-a:minimum to 3,250,0001b7 as a maximum.

-With moderate receipts and cold weather, which
stopped all navigation on the canal, prices of flour
advanced between the 24th and 28th ult. 10c. to
15e. per barrel upon previous quotations. The
temperature having, however, again become mild,
the market was dull on the latter date, and on the
30th, owing to the very unfavourable news received
per telegraph from the Fulton to the 18th Ult., sales
were with difficulty effected at a decline of 250. from
the highest point of last week. Wheat was similarly
affected by the circumstances above-mentioned.
The arrivals of Indian corn had been ve.►y small,
and prices had gradually advanced ; mixed must be
quoted Bc. and yellow and white 4c. to 6c. per
561 b. higher.
There was scarcely anything doing in provisions.
Freights were dull and lower.

HALIFAX, N.S., Drz. 3, 10 p.m.

The royal mail steamer America arrived het-
yesterday morning. We have received no telegra-
phic despatches from the United States since noon
to-day, in consequence of a derangement of the
wires ; the Niagara must therefore sail without our
usual late report of the New York markets.. Com-
mercial affairs in this city are in a most unsatisfac-
tory state. Three failures have taken place during
the past week, and more are expected to follow.
