in New York the posted rates are steady at $4.82 for 60 days and $4.84 for demand.Currency drafts on New York are quiet at about 1-16 prem.Money is quiet, and there is a moderate demand upon the banks for accommodation ; good commercial paper is discounted ai 1 /Si 8 per cent, the lower rate predominating, and loans on approved collaterals are made at about 5 per cent, on call and 6 per cent, on time.On the Stock Exchange this morning the \u201c bulls \u201d were active and rushed things up in a very lively way ; the pace, however, was too hot to last, and in the afternoon there was a quieter feeling, though except in the case of Merchants, which fell back 1 per cent., quotations only varied Hrom the highest points of the day.Bank of Montreal opened 1 better, with sa\u2019es at ISIJ, and closed at 131 bid, 131 £ asked ;

Jacques Cartier remains quiet at 57| rt® 58| ; Merchants opened at 78 and gradually advanced to 79, from which there was a jump up to 80^, followed by an almost equally sudden drop to 79£, at which price the stock closed ; Commerce advanced 1, selling up to 112L and closing at 112 bid, 11- j wanted ; Exchange is still offered at 40, but there are no buyers over 20 ; Montreal Telegraph was advanced from 90J to 92, and closed steady at 91i @ 92 ;

they considered there was no danger of too much capital being embarked in the iron business in consequence of this sudden prosperity.Other firms were equally enthusiastic, and only one appears to have had ballast enough to avoid being utterly carried away by the turn in the tide ; their opinion was that the fall trade was goin?to be good, and they would have as much as they could do; the demand for iron and nails was active ; business prospects as good as before the ipanic and the margin better, though labour was a little high.But when asked whether they considered this prosperity permanent, the reply was in the negative : \u201c within twelve months we shall be as flat on our backs as we were after the panic.Iron is advancing.We will soon reach a point, if we have not already done so, where the English product will come in and take the trade away from us.Just the moment that iron reaches a point where it will pay the English to manu-faoture it, they will flood this country with it.We have a good many things to encounter.We have got to meet the labour question.That will be upon us soon.There will be strikes all over the country.\u201d Possibly there is a little too much gloom in this picture, but it may be of service in toning down expecta.tions derived from the high coloring of others.SUPERINTENDENT SMYTH\u2019S BOMBSHELL.Under this title the Insurance Chronicle refers to the recent statements of defalcation and impairment of capital among New York Fire Insurance Companies.The Chronicle says : \u2014 \u201c In withholding the names of the companies referred to, the Superintendent has done great injustice to the Are insurance companies of this State, (New York).And the Chronicle is in a position to state that the piesident referred to by the superintendent as a defaulter to the extent of $40,003 or $50,.009, was the late Joseph L, Townsend, president of the Knickerbocker Fire Insurance Company, of this city.The company whose' secretary the superintendent alleges \u2018 had purloined $10,-000/ was the Adriatic Fire Insurance Company, which recently went out of business.It was this company, also, whose officers \u2018 had advanced $60,000 to cover an impairment, which was never repoited to the Insurance Department/ The company whose cashier \u2018 had been helping hijiself to the company\u2019s funds, unknown to the company\u2019s officers,\u2019 is the Broadway Fire Insurance Company, of this city.The department also discovered during an examination of the Atlantic Fire Insurance Company, of Brooklyn, which recently retired from business, that the cashier of that company had helped himself to its funds, but this has been already made public.Our readers will tha*k us for these facts, which we are constrained to publish in order that the reflection cast upon officers of other companies by the incomplete statement of Superintendent Smyth may be dispelled.\u201d Davidson, Hamilton ;

per ton and the wages of employees six pence to a shilling per day.The workmen at Bolckaw, Yaughan & Co.\u2019s great iron and steel works, near Middlehorough-on-Lees, have submitted to a reduction of from 5 to 10 per cent, in wages.The Times, reviewing the fishery question, says the opinion expressed in the United States that the whole question should be settled between the Suite Department and the Foreign Office with-out the North A merican Colonies having a voice in the matter betokens a misapprehension of the policy of the British Empire, which accords to the Colonies freedom of action.The inshore fisheries are an inalienable heritage of Canada and Newfoundland,\u2019and these countries must say on what terms particip ation in them should be granted.It is somewhat suprising that the United States, which owe their existence as a nation to the very principle that a colony must have a voice in negotiations which affect its interests, should not understand the same principle when asserted on behalf of Canada.§103,000 is the American estimate of some two or three boats being prevented from making a single catch of fish.It appears that the fishing privileges granted by the Treaty of Washington were of greater value than the people of the United States had been hitherto willing to allow.Were Fortune Bay claim the only surviving difficulty in connection with the fishery question, it would serve to show by its insignificant dimensions to what a formidable international matter it had been reduced.Unfortunately, the whole question will soon come up again, seeing that the fisheries question is as old as the war of 1812, and that is happily the only grave question between the two countries.Surely it calls for diplomatic action to settle it immediately and forever.[Nofe].\u2014The foregoing1 probably embodies the official view of the qnes-tion.t is stated that the cotton operatives at Blackburn believe that another reduction in wages is contemplated.A strike may be expected.THE BURMAH WAR CLOUD.Simla, September 2.\u2014The British Resident has a ready left Mandaly.He reports all quiet there.No person will be appointed to succeed him at present, as

the repeal of the Constitutional amendment prohibiting the re-election of President.The Constitution only requires the assent of the majority of the States.The question may therefore be regarded as settled, bec&uee President Diaz will not opposa the wish of the majority of the people, and the ardent hopes of the Conserva-tive portion.The National Lerdist organ says re-election means dictatorship during the lifetime of Diaz.Congress will re-assemble about the middle of September, although the Commission and Grand Jury are examining into the Vera Cruz executions, it is expected that Congress will also decide the Presidential re-election question ; but eleven months intervene before the new election for President, nevertheless all political parties maintain a profound silence.The approaching session of Congress will show what candidate the official element favours, and will bring out in full light the situai ion of the Republic.UNITED STATES HANGING A BATCH DERtRS.OF MUR-

off, chimneys down, etc.The negroes\u2019 cabins at Free Town are nearly all demolished.The gale was so furious it carried plates of iron from the warehouse, Morgan whatf, clear across the hay into Berwick city.When Teche warehouse went, it was carried across Front street and smashed in front of three stores, carrying away the galleries, &c.The steamer \u201c Fuller\u201d was abandoned in Bayou Sale Bay, and fear is felt for the safety of the steamer Mattie\u201d coming from Vermillion.The steamer from New Iberia reports eight houses entirely down or partially do troyed.In fact, scarcely a place has escaped between Morgan city and New Iberia.The destruction to the cane and fruit crop is larger than ever known by any previous storm this locality.At Franklin the HOME-RULE TORS.AGITA-
