FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SUMMARY.

Our cotton market at the commencement of the week

upon by the high price of food and the diminishing con-

In the manufacturing districts inactivity still prevails,
and the working of the factory population is further limited
during the past year. Upon the whole, however, a better
feeling may be said to be springing up. It is understood
that large orders have been received by the Cambria
which, if the state of the money and cotton markets would
allow of their being accepted, would produce considerable
relief. The state of the continental markets, however,
render it little likely that much can be done to that quar-
ter during' the present year. A circumstance which must
counterbalance any material effect produced by the open-
ing of an American demand.

As might have been anticipated from the accounts front
the United States, which we gave last week, showing the
fallacy of any expectations of immediate large supplies of
bread stuffs from that country, the corn markets through-
out the country during the week have been in a state of

great excitement, and a considerable rise in prices has
been experienced. At Monday's Mark-lane market, 10s.
to 129. advance, with a large business, was realized, with
a fort'---- -' the IA—

ner advance on Wednesday; _ ~.dverpool,
market on Tuesday showed a similar feeling, the advance
being ls. 3d, to Is. 6d. per bushel on Wheat. That the
information which we gave, and upon which holders hive
acted, was correct, we are confirmed in believing, by the
following remarks from a very well informed authority-

the Nev York Conrirr and Inquirer:—_____._
"It is certainly true that the seaboard is very bare at present
of grain, of ad sorts—and that owing to the 'backwardness of
the season, there wit► not much go forward from here before

It is tolerably clear, from the above, that in case of an
unfortunate necessity for further aid to feed our popula-

least, to any great extent. The reports, however, from
Odessa and other ports of the Black Sea, as well as from
the Balsic, hold out prospects of a large supply ; and if

Notwithstanding the recent attempt to afford relief to

as is paid in advance has produced little effect. Indeed
the latter operation is viewed as injudicious, and calcu-

a little easier, and the Bank more disposed to accommo-
