LIVERPOOL.

COTTON : The last accounts from America advising large
receipts and heavy shipments, with a probability of their con-
tinuance for two or three weeks, caused the market to open on
Monday with less animation; this caused a slight dulness in
Manchester on Tuesday, which has reached here since. Holders
generally do not offer very liberally, consequently prices,
although favouring the buyer, have not declined much in the
middling and better kinds, and only about 81 per lb in the
lower qualities. Brazil and Egyptian participate in the quiet-
ness, but are quotably unchanged. Surat aro a shade easier.
The weekly sales are 41,680 bales, of which 7,070 are on
speculation, and 2,760 for export.

business has been concluded.
RICE : The sales comprise 400 bags Bengal, at lOs 6d ;
1,000 bags Arracan, at 9s ; and 1,600 bags Madras, by

LINSEED : We have to notice 300 bags Calcutta, at 503

FRUIT : Currants : The market during the week has been
inanimate, but without alteration in price, the duty paid
clearances show a decrease on the corresponding period last
year, but which were then much increased by an anticipated
advance of duty. Raisins of all descriptions in good demand.
Valeneias of keeping quality command higher prices, and are
freely taken. Sultanas : The advance demanded by holders has
checked business. Market clear of Muscatelles, also Turkey
red and black. Prunes remain dull. Oranges : The arrivals
have been large, especially of Sicily fruit, but the demand
consequent on the approaching holidays has tended to advance
prices, which may be quoted—ls to Is 6d on Palermo, 6s to
7s on Lisbon. Lemons have been more freely taken at
advanced rates ; our stock has been increased by arrivals of
Palermo, which have realised 9s 6d to lOs per box. Nuts :
Barcelona continue to move slowly. Brazils, none left in
first hands, the market having been cleared of the few remain-
ing at 22s per cwt, in other descriptions nothing doing.
HAUGHTON & LEVY.
PROVISION : The sales of beef for the week are to a fair
average extent, at steady prices for fine qualities, but ordinary
sorts are again easier to buy. The market is entirely bare of
American pork. Irish is held for advanced rates. Tke
demand for bacon continues active, and the market is in a very
healthy position, the late arrivals being well cleared off. An
occasional advance of 61 to is per cwt. has been made on
choice paroela. Lard sells freely at full Ih-ices, and holders
now having reduced their stocks, show increased firmness, in
some instances asking a further advance: There is a brisk
enquiry for cheese, and prices have a still upward tendency, our
extreme quotations being readily realised for fine sorts. Tallow
is a shade easier, but there is rather more doing.
Conti : With an average attendance of home and country
millers at our Corn Exchange this, morning, the trade ruled
steadily for wheat and flour, and of each sales to a good extent
were effected to consumers at the extreme rates of Tuesday.
Of home wheat few samples appeared for sale, and found
buyers at ld per 70 lbs over Tuesday's rates, Oats and barley
experienced a fair demand without change in value. Beans
and Oatmeal, upon a moderate enquiry, also maintained
previous rates. We had only a small show of. Maize offering,
t'ae holders of which continued firm, and although the demand
was not active a moderate amount of business was done, prices
remaining nominally unvaried. Arrivals from the 29th April
