LIVERPOOL

COTTON : The cotton market during the past week has
been very excited; the news from the States, received
via Southampton, on Saturday, reporting injury to the
growing crop, stimulated a large speculative enqu►ry, and
id per pound advance was obtained. On Monday, later
advices, not only confirming, but containing a more
gloomy account of the appearance of the growing
crop, and generally reduced estimates, caused an
immense demand, resulting in sales of 30,000 bales,
at id per lb advance. The market has since been'
very buoyant, but not quite so excited, and now closes,
with a hardening tendency, lid per pound higher, for
American descriptions, than on Friday last. Brazil and
Egyptian in large demand at id per pound advance.
Surat fully id per pound dearer. The weekly sales are
129,890 bales, of which 59,160 are on speculation, and
12,150 for export.

CORN: To-day's market was not so well attended as
usual, even for a Friday, and the business in wheat has
been only moderate as compared with the extent of
transactions we have been accustomed to of late ; there
was not, however, any pressure on the part of holders,
especially as regards prime qnalities ; nevertheless, we
must note a decline on such of 2d per bushel from the
rates of Tuesday, and somewhat more on the general and
inferior runs, the latter being in very restricted demand.
Flour is about is per sack and barrel cheaper, and not
much sale. Beans in fair request at late prices. In oats
and oatmeal a moderate business with the turn in favour
of buyers. In Indian corn it is difficult to make progress
at a decline of 61 per quarter, both the Irish and English
enquiiy proving very trifling to-day. Arrivals from the
21st to the 23rd of October, 1856, inclusive.—lreland :

PROVISIONS : There is increased anxiety on the part of
holders of beef to effect sales, and prices in consequence
have further given way, without however leading to much
increase of business, as the dealers seem determined not
to go into stock at the present advanced period of the
season. In pork the transactions are unusually light, but
holders do not press the market, the high -opening
prices in Ireland and America for new pork giving them
confidence. The market for bacon is steady, and the
dealers during the present week have had a better retail
demand than for some time past. Shoulders, though
offered at further reduced rates, do not move frre;y.
Lard is o:-fered lower, but only finds buyers in small
quantities, the consumption being much checked, and
Irish and home lard being now plentiful at lower rates than
American. Cheese is only moderately active, and the
market being well supplied, buyers are more difficult to
please in quality. The tallow market continuos to advance,
and the consumption is very large. Linseed cake is in
steady demand.
