,Y AND COMMERCIAL•

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING.
The tone of the Liverpool Cotton Market has not
improved to-day, and a very small business has
been done at irregular prices. The sales reach
only 4000 bales, all of which has been taken by the

trade.
The Liverpool Share Market opened this morn-
ing without animation, but slightly improved during
the day, and closed steadily at the following quo.

The Corn Market has been heavy to-day, and it
was with difficulty that the advanced prices of
Friday were maintained.
The Manchester Goods Market, although not
very active, showed considerable firmness to-day,
and business done, both in Goods and Yarns, was
generally negociated at prices the same as on
Tuesday last.
The steamer Asia has arrived at this port, with
advices to the sth of March from New
York, and has brought 559,747 dollars in
specie. The political news is unimport-
ant. That relating to trade may be regarded
generally as satisfactory. The supply of money
continued abundant, and in some instances loans
on call had been negociated at 5 per cent., but the
most current rate was from six to seven per cent.
First class paper was readily discounted at from
six to eight per cent. Foreign Exchange was
more in demand, and the quotations on London
had advanced to 1098 to 1091. The last return of
the New York City banks showed an unexpectedly
large increase of loans. The deposits showed an
increase of about 900,000 dollars, and the specie a
decrease of about 200,000 dollars. The com-
parison with the previous week was:—

There was a fair business doing in the Produce
markets, but restricted by the absence of the
steamer's letters. Flour was stronger and in good
demand at $6 879 to $7 121. Wheat was unchanged
and quiet. Corn had a downward tendency. Pork
irregular. Other provisions without change, except-
ing Lard, which was lower. Groceries were firm,
and without much activity. Wool was in demand,
and had an upward tendency. We here subjoin a
statement of the total shipments, grain, and flour,
from all the ports of the United States from Sep-
tember 1 to March 4 (New York latest date), in
each season :
