The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was tolerably
good, and prices were steady. Sales, 3,000 to 4,000 bales,
including 1,000 American on speculation.—A good business
was done in New Shares, but the demand for Old Stock was
limited.

'ollowing tip the subject (and a niost important otie it is)
et the construction of railways in Canada, it is useful to quote
the following from the Kingston (11. C.) Chronicle :
" A Canadian railroad, to produce the most beneficial effects
which dan be produced, provincially considered, must corn-
inence at the extremity of Canada west and terminate at its
eastern extremity, and be continued on to the sea coast. We
published a long and interesting letter in the colums of this
paper, addressed to Lord Sydenham, on this subject, when he
first came to Canada, earnestly recommending such a work,
previously to the vast outlay on the St. Lawrence. We
had reason to believe that his Lordship agreed with the
wrier of that article as to the comparative advantages, but
there were political objects and old pledges, as well as old
prejudices, which intervened, and which put the object aside.
That it will be accomplished we entertain no doubt, and at
a much earlier period than some of our contemporaries seem
to think, nor will it fail to be a profitable undertaking when-
ever it is done—of this we are perfectly certain."
The arrivals to-day bring no intelligence of general in-
terest.

The weather has the effect of exciting a little uneasines
still, and rather checks business. Rice and similar articles
are held at very full rates.

The Funds are very dull.again, and prices have been flatter.
Consols realise 981/2 for Money, and 98% for Time. Ex
chequer-bills are 465. to 48s. premium. East India Stock is
worth 268 only, and Bank Stock has receded to 213 and 2121/2.
The Foreign Investments have been poorly supported, and
in fact there is nothing doing in them. Portuguese Con-
verted have been 62% and the Four per Cents. 62. Chilian
Bonds have been marked 54. Belgian Four per Cents. are
1001/2, and Dutch Four per Cents., 991/2.
Shares have been very good again, and it would appear
that the Bears are not able to complete their deliveries very
promptly, so that a large number of accounts are partially
carried over.
