The late intelligence by the steamer from Halifax set at
rest, in a great measure, all further anxiety respecting the
annexation project, and, comme de contume, we may expect
it to pass off quietly. The friends of peace have indeed much
for which to be grateful to the Senate of the United States,
in repressing the war fever of the House of Representatives.
Trade was expected to open rather briskly, but produce in
return for imports are likely to be in abundant supply.
Respecting the Quebec timber trade our accounts state
that within the last few days the quantity of snow that has
fallen in New Brunswick has been such as will seriously im-
pede all operations there, and many have been compelled to
abandon all thought of getting their lumber to market; and
should the snow in Upper Canada, which has fallen this
month, tend td interfere even in part with the operations there,
prices in Quebec will be good probably till late in the season.
The quantity of deals and staves that were culled last
year. is as follows :-Pine deals, 1,686,648 std. ; spruce deals,
1,201,372 std. ; standard staves, 1,063,962 pcs. ; 'West Indies,
2,710,963 pcs. ; barrel, 81,579 pcs.
And the shipments were, by the Custom-house returns :-
Deals, 3,087,001 ; standard staves, 1,533,517 ; puncheon
staves, 3,325,636 ; barrel staves, 556,946.
The Funds are not quite so firm to-day, Consols being
993/4% for Bloney, and 100 to 1001/s for Account. Exchequer-
bills have been marked 635. to 665. premium, and East India
Bonds, 70s. to 72e. premium. Bank Stock for Account is
no higher than 216.
The Foreign Investments have been very quiet, but
Spanish Bonds are firm ; the Five per Cents. at 305 A%, and
the Three per Cents. at 40% to 41. Portuguese Converted
have been 684 to 69, being also higher, although the
Lisbon letters announce that the financial plans had not
been brought forward, and that there was a bad feeling in
certain provinces against further taxation. Mexican Stock
has been rather higher, viz , 36% to %. Chilian Deferred
has been dons at 54, and Brazilian, Old, at 924. Dutch
Four per Cents. are 99 to 4.
The Share Market is decidedly quieter, but this is partly
the result of lassitude, after the recent extensive, and we
may justly add, excessive, speculatioorc.E
