CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool esterday were
12,000 to 14,000 bales, of which 2,000 American, 100
Egyptian, and 500 Surat were taken on speculation, and
comprised 9,000 American, 1,500 Bahia, at Sid. to 84d.;
1,500 Egyptian, at 74d. to Bd.; and 1,200 Surat, at sd.
to kid. par lb. Prices of all kinds were I,d. higher, and
the market closed firm.—ln Railway Shares there was
a slight variation, and prices were declining,
Some of the Continental mails are behind time this
morning, and there is nothing from Belgium or Hol-
land. The Paris accounts are merely such as are con-
tained in a telegraphic dispatch.
The letters by the American steamer have been de-
livered this morning, and they furnish a few additional
items from Canada.
The Montreal Herald states :—" We learn that Mr.
Jesse Joseph has insured the cargo of the Cyrus, from
Montreal to London, at 3i per cent., for part of the
cargo, and at 2 per cent. for the remainder—the latter
/isk against total loss only—the ship to sail on or before
the 25th. This insurance has been effected with the same
'underwriters as the Pearl, and it is, we are informed, a
great reduction on the usual rates. We believe that the
_present coat in England would probably be 10 per cent."
This suggests the probability of very keen
'competition with the underwriters at Lloyds', sup-
posing the version to be correct. We are further
advised from Montreal that—"As the weather con-
tinues open, merchants are busy getting off goods before
'the close of the canals, which may now shortly be ex-
pected. The stocks in market must be getting consider-
ably diminished, if we may judge from the quantities of
goods sent to the canal for transport since the opening of
at on the 14,13 inst., after the repairs. The quantity of
Bar and Heavy Iron especially sent to Upper Canada this
tall is very considerable."
The business of Lake Champlain, chiefly the lumber
trade, has increased six hundred per cent. within four
years. For 1846, the number of vessels entering from
the Chambly Canal, was 426. The present year, up to
November, was 2,581 ; and the total lumber exports,
Suring the same period, amount to the large quantity of
51,706,941 feet. Arrangements arc in pregiess for en-
larging the Chambly Canal very materially.
The editor of the St. John's News, in recording the
reminiscences of an excursion, says that he recently
visited the establishment of Messrs. S. T. and
(G. IZ. Wilkt, at Chambly, the principal portion
of whose cloths is sold in the Montreal market
by Messrs. Seymour, and Whitney. The factory
cc nsumes Linut 2,0001b5. of wool weekly, yielding about
I_Boo yards of cloth of various texture and finish, afford-
g constant employment to 25 operatives; the chief
supply of wool is derived from the eastern townships,
an d in quality is pronounced to be equal to any obtained
in Vermont.

Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's Circular, dated
New Orleans, Nov. 23, states that for Rio Coffee there
to a fair demand at the ruling rates of the market at 10}
to 104 c. The importations since our last consist of the
o(lawingcargoes, viz , per Creole, 3,557 sacks; Chu-
f;onia Wright, 3,100 sacks; Kremlin, 5,770 sacks; and
iz ipsy, 4,000. The last nan:cd cargo, per Kremlin,
Ihrts just how been sold for the West at 10 c. per lb.
Fit cck, 15,000 sacks. Imports, since Ist September, 1850,
2;8.,217 sacks, against 8,870 sacks, last year.
The English Funds are much the same as they ruled
yr( sterelsy, and there is no large amount of business
do ing. Consols for Account have been 964 to 964.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter p:,r Cents. have 13..,en

Stock has been steady at 213 f, and India Stock
at 271. Exchequer- bills have been a shade lower, viz.,
6r4.5. to 675., and India Bonds have realised 84s. Consuls.

In the Foreign market the transactions have been

oe ing 35e to 36/ for Account. Russian Four-and-a-
-l:141f per Cents, have realised 97f, and Dutch Two-and-
.s-.Half per Cents. have been 584 to 4.
The further advanced prices of y: sterday in the Rail-
-Iva y Share Market have induced sales, but there has
been an extensive business done. Among the lines
wtdch have reacted are Great Northern, Lancashire
and Yorkshire, East Lancashire, North Stafford, North
IV astern, South Western and Caledonian, South Eastern,
and Oxford and Wolverhampton. Bristol and Exeter,
Aberdeen, Blackwell, and York and North Midland,
aro fairly supported. Foreign Shares continue in favour,
but Boulogne and Amiens are scarcely so good. Paris
and Rouen, Sambre and Meuse, and Rouen and Havre,
have been higher.
