CONN ERCIAL AFFAIRS.
HONEY MARKET.
Wednesday. MAY l6-6 p. M.

The stock market was more bouyant to- day, and
quotations for stocks generally advanced fraction.
The transactions unusually large, and principally
for cash time sellers option This is indicative OF
q better feeling among operators, and shows the
strength and confidence Of purchasers At the first
board, Treasury notes improved u per cent; United
States 6's, 1868, ii New Haven Railroad, y; Canton
Company, q; Farmers Loan q; Long Island x;
Harlem, y; Erie Railroad, a.
At the second board, Harlem advanced q per cent;
Canton Company a.
The receipts to- day, at the olce of the Assistant
Treasurer of this port were $3O,130 81; payments,
1854 SO; advices $4,000; balance on hand, $780,,
SIS 50.
The news from Europe, by the steamship Canada one
week later is rather more favorable financially and
commercially, than that received by the Hibernia.
The advance in cotton was one Of the results of de-
probation in prices for breadstufs Quotations for
British and French funds had improved and the
amount of specie in the Bank Of England had been
diminished by the shipments to this country, while
the amount in the Bank Of France had been largely
increased The total amount of gold exported from
England to the United States, including the f259O0
board the Canada, f436 900 equal to $685.
This about closes the movement, and If can keep
what have received, shall do much better than
we anticipate. The political disturbances the
tincnt continue. As they extend the larger powers
without doubt be general Thus far they have
interfered with commercial movements except in the
Baltic; but in the event of the principal mercantile
powers becoming engaged the effect upon trade
be most disastrous.

by their resemblance to the genuine. SIS on New

Our quotations of yesterday, for sterling exchange,
barely sustained to-day, and the market closed
heavy Prime bills on London were sold at TX per

The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company have call
ed for instalment of $25 per share their
scrip stock payable on the 18th Of June
The Bowery Fire Insurance Company have declared
a semiannua dividend of ten per cent payable the
LIST of june.
The Canal Commissioners have advertised for loan
of &c. to be applied to the redemption Of the
per cent bonds maturing during the year
Proposals will be received for any sum not less than
81 OO0 The loan will bear interest at the rate of six
per cent per annum, payable quarterly at New York
Albany, and the principal will be reimbursable the
list Of July, 1866.
At adjourned meeting Of the stockholders of the
Morris Canal Company held at Jersey City, yesterday,
it determined to accept the supplementary act
30 relates to the issue of preferred stock for the
liquidation of the outstanding debt and fer raising
sum sufficient to complete the contemplated improve
ments in the canal sc. also agreed that
uction should be made in the number Of shares repre-
scntng the capital of the company This is perfectly
right, for simply one season. 1t Is estimated that
the earnings of the canal will after the improvements
proposed made, pay handsome dividend the
present capital and upon the preferred stock that
juscein reducingt the number ofshares
of the old stock but think they should remain they
are give the holders every opportunity of being
hereafter remunerated for their long privaon of divi
dends.
We learn that this canal is doing large bust
ness and isconfdenty believed will before the lapse
of many years, with proper management, rank high
among the internal improvements Of the country.
