FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The reports from New York show an increased
supply of money gathering there. which can be
very reasonably expected, as the shipments OF
produce from the West and South are now small
and the remittances to pay for our purchases Of
merchandise having been going forward quite
rapidly. Money will be very easy in New York
oity from this time until the heavy summer ship
nents of produce go forward, when we will
again draw on them for the funds.
Money throughout the West is very scarce, as
it always is this time Of the year, and we cannot
though the first Of March may bring q little ease.
Ottawa is considerably excited over the school,
bridge and railroad questions, all of which in
volve the expenditure of money and the ques-
ton Of improvement and enterprise, which We
should like to discuss If space would allow. We
can say however, that the histories Of other pres
porous towns prove that q judicious expenditure
of money for the Advancement of enterprises
that attract strangers and give us good business
facilities will pay largely in the long run.
Gold in New York is very firm and fraction
higher, being now quoted at 1861. 1t is bring

Exchange on New York and Chicago remains

Drafts on England and Ireland are still selling
for 81 per pound currency.
Government bonds are weak and lower, on &C
count of -umors that the government will issue
more gold bearing six per cent. bonds, and that
congress will grant subsidies to several railroad
projects. They are quoted by F. A. Sherwood d
