COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.


cline OF 1@2c. in tho price of cotton since
our last report. Tho market for the past
week has been quiet, holders being indis-
posed to sell at present rates, and buyers
unwilling to advance. The unfavorable re-
ports from Liverpool and New York have
+ I'd depressing effect upon the loci uar-
ket, bCt we do not altogether attribute the
quletude OF our market to this cause, as it is
mainly attributable to the great scarcity of
money which at present exists here, and
which viii, VIC fear, continue to operate in
our market for some time to come. Mcssrs.
Maude. " Wright, to whom we arc in
debted for tho following corrected prices
current, report as follows: Market dull and

d!mgs, 43c. Receipts for the week ending
Gold-buying at 40, and selling at 49, sill
