COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.
[ (t.oltzu :Market.
In the Liierpool Cotton Market during the
past week there was little or no change. The
daily sales were quite an average, for whilst the
trade limited transactions to present requirements;
speculators and exporters were buying largely,
principally of Surat and the common qualities of
American, and so gave relief to holders, whose
offerings were abundant, without causing any
quotable change in prices. Brazil in fair demand,
at extreme rates. Egyptian in plentiful supply,
and rather in favour of buyers. Surat in great
request, at full prices. The weekly sales amounted
to 80,520 bales, of which 18,790 were on specula
tion" and 8,130 for export.

an improvement of ficl per 480 lbs. Oats were
held for full prices, and new Oatmeal was more
inquired for, but no change in the value of any.
Indian Corn in good demand, and 6d per quarter
higher. Other articles without change in value.
—Heavy rains have fallen in this and other
districts of the Country during the week, and
seriously interrupted the reaping and ingathering
of the cereal crops, of which a large portion still
remains unsecured, and a continuance of dry
weather is now much to be desired to complete
the long protracted labours of the harvest. In
these circumstances the quantity of native Whe,gt
offered at the provincial markets during the week
has been unusually limited, and finds ready buy-
ers at improving rates, while good dry foreign
Wheats have been in large request, and realised
an advance generally of is to 28 per quarter.
.Here we have had a good business passing in
Wheat since Tuesday, and holders demand an
advance of ld. per cental, Flour being also in
fair request at extreme rates. The Gazette
returns for the week ended 22nd inst., are 53,655
quarters. We have to report good arrivals of
Wheat and Flour the past three days, while of
other articles the imports are small. The exports
of Wheat and Flour are to a fair extent.
