MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool yam'
terday, and rather better prices were obtained. Sales 6911"'
bales, including 500 on speculation. Shares were dull.
HULL, Aua. 13. —The market, although somewhat lan'
geld, has not experienced so much depression as was expects'
during the holidays. The fine weather has rather tended to
check the eagerness to effect sales.
'the extension of communication in Canada by railway If
a subject of paramount importance. To British capital to a
very considerable extent will our Colonies be indebted for
such facilities. We have already observed that two row
influential Companies have been established for the purpes°
of forming railways in Canada. We refer our readers to 1111
advertisement which appears in another column of The S'f,
and we cannot do better than quote from Simmonds' Coloor
Magazine the following remarks, which bear upon the owe
ject of a more rapid means of communication in the Colony'
They are as follows :
" The head of the Deep river is about 150 miles from 131:
town. and the remaining distance on the common routony;
Lake Huron by the Little and French rivers, is probably 17u°-
180 miles. The distance would, however, be c
shortened by adopting a line of road from the Deep river t 2
the south part of Lake Nipissing, near the head of the Frene?
river, which I conceive would be found the most advisable_
plan of communication in the outset. On this route tlo,
whole distance from Bytown to the Georgian bay would OP
then exceed 300 miles, the head of the Deep river being
nearly about half-way.
" From what is stated above the route
mm
BYtown t°
siderably
Lake Huron may naturally be divided into many sections;
the first being the settled part along the Ottawa as far as?,
Deep river; and the second, from thence to the Georgto
Bay, on whatever line may be adopted. I intended to lia's
alluded more fully to the nature of the first section of th
route (on the Ottawa) and to the improvement 111°,11
urgently required there; but, observing that a volumills"'
report from the Board of Works is forthcoming, I shall dr°e
that part of the subject until we see what consolations
Board has in store for the lost children of the Ottawa vi_.;
The second section of the route, across the country towns
the Georgian Bay, will probably be considered beyond t
scope of the present labours of the Board ; but I think the
ale strong measures of improvement in that direction, and, &
leisure permits, I may send you a few suggestions on tllso
head, with, perhaps, some hints on a kindred subject-412,
survey and disposal Of the new lands, where, as I coneeila
improvement is no less needful than in regard to mews
intercourse. It is not hard to perceive that our land syetT,
as it works on the Ottawa, is a great settler of the
surveyed lands as well as the lumber trade."
