/ The steamship Acadia, Capt Ryrie
arrived at Boston on Sunday morning
IA and Il half days from Liverpool;
very quick passage at this season Of ih,
year. The intelligence by this arriva
is "a days later than before received
lhe following. brief summary is all that
we nave room for.
Mercantile affairs are cxtremel,
dcpresscd.-G depression exists n
The colonial and other markets.
The home trade is ia almost nnsatis-
factory state, and there is want of
confidence in every department, oi,rado.
The vast supplies Of cotton, proyis-
ions, &c, which were expected from
America, led many persons to anticipate
that as we will not take British lnanufac-
lures in return, gold will be required to
meet the bills drawn on our merchants
against those shipments.
A great deal Of hope rests upon the
belieithat the Corn Law will be repeal
ed but the general opinion on the 18th
inst. was, that they will not DC altered
~ the slightest degree.
Frcights To the United States have
improved little, and the vessels which
have recently sailed have had more
valuable cargoes than have been OBJ
tanned for some time past.
The condition OF the commerce and
finances Of England are far from saiis-
factory. Trade is dccrcpit-storms
upon the ocean have covered il with
wrecks Of mercantile marine. The
anlcable relations of England with 9TH
cr powers have been disturbed, and the
EYchequcr EXHIBITS Il deficiency of a
million. The state Of affairs excltes
the utmost alarm among The privileged
classes.
On Thursday, the 2d inst the British
Parliament was opened by commission
The Queen not beng present, the oc-
casion lost much of lts customary inter.
est. The Royal Speech was read, as
~ usual, on such occasions, by the
Lord Chancellor.
The following is nm extract from il
relative 10 affairs of our own country i
"By the treaty which her Majesty
has concluded with tho United States
of America, and by the adjustment Of.
those differences which, from their long
continuance, had endangered tie pres
crvailon Of peace, her Majesty trusts
that the amlcable relations Of the two /,
countries have been confirmed.

TERUfic STORM AND HURRICANE
The Eng'ish coasts we're visited with u
most destructive hurricane on the 18th
and l1th Of January. The loss al prop
'ery was great but the boss oi life l,as
been appalling. The storm, appears,
also, TO have extended to the continent,
and, indeed, the greater part of Wes
tern Europe experienced, more or less,
ITS ravages. Upwards of sixty vessels,
were wrecked in this conflict Of the ele-
mcnts, and hundreds OF lives have been
lost
The accouchment Of the Queen is
expected to take place in March or the
beginning Of April. There seems eve
ny prospect of Mr. q ConneIps wish be-
ing realized, "that she may have as
many children as her grandmother

NEW ORLEANS MARKET.
April 22d, 1913.

April I'D, l5i3.
TosAcco--lu our last review we observed that
only small business bad been transacted in this
article during the three days preceding. Since
hen, however, most of the late receipts having
been inspected and placed upon the market, pur-
chasers dave come forward freely, and considera-
bic sales have been effected at very firm prices.
The market exhibits increased steadinoss and hold
ers are offering sparingly in anticipate on Of a
further Improvement the more so, as the receipts
are rather slack at present. The sales since our
last, sum up 500 hhds, amo ngst which we notice
1875 hhds. at "a, 81 and &c; l24 do X at 24c; 81

FLouR--The receipts have continued on mod
crate scale since our last, whilst improved de.
mand has prevailed, enabling holders to obtain full
prices and even slight advance. Most of the
late receipts have been taken Immediately on arri-
val. We now quote superiine So 10 a So 50 per
Dbl.
PoAx--There is no change to notice in the
market since last; the demand is pretty fair for
small parcels at 81 81 for Mess; Sc 25 for Prime;
So SO for M. o. The ordinary descriptions are
scarce, and continue to range compar atvely
higher. There is no Bulk pork at the landing.
BEEr-We quote Mess in bbs. 81 rs, half do.
81 90 a al %; Prime Beef 81 rs per Dbl.
LARD--Tna market has remained in a very guet
condition since our last, and prices are dropping
in consequence of the limited demand and in
creased receipts. Prime leaf is worth SIC, we
