TRADE REPORT.-FRIDAY

COTTON.—The cotton market in the commencement of
the week was very dull, the demand was moderate, and
buyers had a slight advantage; during the last two days
(an opinion gaining ground that the bank would not raise
the rate of discount) rather more confidence has prevailed,
causing greater steadiness. and placing quotation of
American on a par with last Friday. G,md stap!e.l kinds
are becoming scarce, and meet a ready sale a, fe'l prices ;
clean ordinary descriptions rather dearer. Brazil and
Egyptian firm. Surat in request, but high prices restrict
operation. The weekly sales are 48,5a?0 bates, of which
6,240 are on speculation, and 6,550 for export.

Corm—With very, few buyers at market to-day, the
trade in wheat has ruled exceedingly inanimate for all
descriptions offering for sale ; finest red American was
scarce and enquired for at nearly Tuesday's rates, but the
general runs gave way 2d per bushel, inferior sorts were
quite unsaleable, and a small parcel or two of white, extra
quality, retailed during the market at 103 Bd, was offered
at the close at the above reduction. Flour was in limited
consumptive demand, but one or two large lots have been
cleared at a concession of about 6d per barrel. Barley
dull and rather easier to purchase. Beans steady in value
and demand. We have a moderate sale for old oats, but little
doing in new which scarcely support prices. In oatmeal
little or no change. The transactions in Indian corn are
of quite a retail character, and we reduce our quotations
66 per qr. Arrivals from the 16th to the 18th September,
