ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.

The British steamer Britannia arrived at Boston
last Wednesday morning from Liverpool having left
the 18th ult, which date she brings letters and
papers. Our correspondents letter failed to reach
us, but we avail of the poiteness of commercial
house for the Circular of Messrs. GIBBS, BRIGHT s.
Co., from which make the following extracts:
LIVERPOOL, Nov. II, 1913.
Money.-The variations in the Stock market have
been few; caused principally by the Continental re-
ports received during the week; capital continues
abundant, and consols closed firm, at S6S to s6l.
COftOn.-An improved trade in Manchester has
tended to increase the operations Of spnners, who
have taken 292lO bales at prices quoted the as
last week, though slightly in the sellers favor. Our
computed stocks are reduced by upwards of 10000
bales, as the only arrivals since last have been
462 Uplands; considerable import must however,
be near at hand, which will prevent any material
advance.
Provisions. Since our last, 100 ties. of the
new cure have arrived, but not having been landed
we have transactions Of moment TO advise. Pork.
The large sales noticed last week have continued
to the extent, and 400 brls. have been taken,
chiefly ordinary Prime Mess for ireland, at an ad
vance of Is. 10 Is. per brl. Bacon.-The higher
rates demanded have checked business, and we can
only report sale of 20 bxs. choice Eastern,
at 53s. per cwt. Chcese.-The sales reach 300 bxs.
really fine article is much wanted, but lower quail
ties are difficult TO sell at our quotations Lard
The low price makes it profitable substitute for
Tallow, and 100 tons have been Sold
BreddstuHS have been of heavy sale, with the ex-
ception Of Indian Corn, which has met steady de-
mand previous rates, both for Irish and local con-
sumption. The market to-day thnly attended,
and closed heavily at decline since last Friday of
Sd. per bushel on Wheat, and cd to Is. per brl. on
Flour.

their good condition We have no heavy transac-
uons TO report, and previous prices notwithstanding
the reduced state of the market, not readily
obtained We cannot quote Shoulders over 5. cts,
and Sides 5ta5s. Hams remain at about previous
rates, say 7al0 cts, but no considerable sales are
making over for extra cured.
Lard-Is dull of sale, and recent prices are with
difficulty supported. There sellers (nomnally)

good and choice 10Idll cts have been paid; but
The demand is limited. Glades has been selling by
diaries at l4al5 cts, although for large parcels or
common article a less price would be taken.
ChceSe.-We have no alteration TO note in the
price of either Western or Eastern-the former con-
tinues at 7a77 and the latter at Sal0 cts per lib.
RICE.-The market is in fair supply, and sales
making at 1881 per 100 lbs.
SALT.-The several cargoes recently arrived from
Liverpool were disposed OF some time before they
came 10 hand. Our present quotations may be re-
garded about cargo rates.
SEEDS.-Clover and Timothy remain dull, and
quotations would be nominal. There is only very
small supply of Flax in market which can be had at

light, and sales have been made at 30 cts. for pure
Boston, Whiskey is less frm-24 cts in hhds, and
25a255 in brls., with limited stock.
SUGARS.-The market is still without activity,
the trade supplying themselves only they find it
necessary for their immediate wants. The auction

TOBACC0.-The market has been quite dull all
the week, and very few transactions have taken
place in any descriptions. The quality of Maryland
as we have stated on previous occasions, is mostly
com and the me- will be small. though
generally good factors think it TO their interest
to keep back the old common until the new good is
in market, that something like an assortment may
be offered The stock Of Ohio on hand is generally
fair to good, and would meet ready sale if factors
disposed to accept previous prices but contend
ing for advance which purchasers refuse to pay,
hence the inactivity above noted. There is only
one vessel loading for Bremen, and her cargo was
purchased time since Inspected this week:

into operation in France. BY that law, the postage
of all letters not exceeding n grammes (about a
quarter Of an ounce,) will be 3D. each. Above u,

xxx CONGRESS OF THE U. STATES Sess

Congress met last Monday, the constitutional day,
and a quorum was formed. On Tuesday at noon the
President sent in his Message. For the present we
extract the following in relation to the extent of our
newly acquired territory and which confirms all pre-
vous reports of the capacity of the Mines and the
abundance Of
GOLD IN CALIFORNIA.
Within less than four years the annexation of Texas
to the Union has been consummatcd; all conflicting
title to the Oregon Territory south OF the forty
degree of north latitude, being all that was insisted
on by any of my predecessors, has been adjusted;
and New Mexico and Upper California have been
acquired BY treaty The area of these several Ter
rtores according to report carefully prepared by
the Commissioner of the General Land Office from
the most authentic information in his possession and
which is herewith transmitted, contains one million
one hundred and ninety three thousand and sixty
one square miles, or seven hundred and sixty three
million five hundred and fifty nine thousand and
forty acres; while the of the remaining twenty
nine States and the territory not yet organized into
| States east Of the Rocky mountains, contains two
million fifty nine thousand five hundred aud thirteen
square miles, or thirteen hundred and eighteen mil
lion one hundred and twenty thousand and fifty
eight acres. These estimates show that the terri
tories recently acquired, and over which our exclu
sive jurisdiction and dominion have been extended,
constitute a country than half as large as all
that which was held by the United States before
their acquison. II Oregon be excluded from the es-
timate there will still remain within the limits OF
Texas, New Mexico, and California, eight hundred
and fifty thousand five hundred and ninety eight
square miles, or five hundred and forty five million
twelve thousand seven hundred aud twenty acres;
being an addition equal to than one-third OF all
the territory owned by the United States before
their acquisitions; and, including Oregon, nearly as
great an of territory the whole Of Europe,
Russia only excepted. The Mississippi, SO lately
the frontier of our country, is now only its centre

THE NEW YORK MARKETS.
FEOur-1hc near approach OF the close oil canal
igaiOu has given the usual amount Of spc-
culatIon as the probable range OF prices for Flour
during the coming winter. The majority being OF
the opinion that the stock of Flour in New lork is
very light, look for advance in prices, and State
Flour, for which at the present lime $3.50 IS freely
grades of Flour are stored at rates in proportion.
The opinion Of a light stock OF Flour in New Ork
is based upon the fact that the exports from that city
from LIST September last, have SO far exceeded the
exports for the corresponding period last year as to
reduce the stock IN New NorlI TO low point. There
would be weight in this argument, admit, were
it not that the receipts of Flour tide water for the
period have increased with the increase of
Flour exported from New York. Here are figures:
