New Yokk, iXc. 9th.—Tho Post's linancial arliclu says: i)iiu of the signs of thu times wliiidi indicate the ;;rowiiig belief that the prices of ceinio; ■ilities are as low as they arc likely lo be al all is the aiiiioiinceuicn: ih.it Mitchell, uf Montreal, agent of a syndicalo in that city, in tho interest of the Canadian Piicitic U.iilroad Company, is now in iMaiiitoba fortlio purpose of investing s-l,ll()(),(il)U aiUiiuced by the banks of Alonlreal in wheat, to be purchased at Winiiepeg at tho market rates there. The latest dispatches say that shipments by tho Caiiadiiin Pacific to Port Arthur will begin at once, and the wlie.it will be held in sturu there until aiiriiig.

Still anotlier iiislance of Ihe sumo kind is the advance in the last few days ill the prices of aonie metals, lead having advanced tiiii pur cent, in two weeks in cou-Hcipiencc of s])eculativo investments. Cotton also advanced to some u.Ntent under tho sanie iidliioiiccs in the last few necks. The.ie features are the result of endeavors to llrid empl'.c 11 Jill for idle money. An uiipreccrteiiu d .luiouiit of idle funds in the New Ynrk l>iuiUs, and lower rales of interest here than in London, are also thu chief cause uf the tirmness of the market fur sterling.
