At the Liverpool Corn Market we had an average
attendance of buyers to-day. The Grain trade has
been quiet the last few days, and where sales of
Wheat and Flour have been pressed from the
ship, lower rates have had to be submitted to, yet
more disposition was manifest to take large lots of
Wheat and Flour, to hold over, by importers yield-
ing in price. The market closed with more strength
than was anticipated, and the reduction from
Tuesday last may be called ld. to 2d. per bushel
on Wheat, and 6d. to 9d. per barrel on Flour.
Indian corn without demand and the price nomi-
nal. Oats and Oatmeal each easier. In Barley,
Beans, and. Peas no change. The Gazette returns
of sales of British Wheat this week are 70,629 qrs.,
at 70s. 2d. per qr. ; corresponding week last year,
94,301 qrs., at 455. sd. per qr.
Our Wool Market for the month has been quiet,
•but firm. The unusually large quantities of vari
ous kinds introduced at public sales, here and in
London of late, have had a depressing effect upon
the market, and lowered the value generally ;
since those sales have terminated, more inquiry is
apparent, more business has been transacted, and
in many instances at advanced prices. No auction
sales were held last month, and the contracts are
all by private treaty. Sales, though only moderate,
have been made i.i long coarse Bosnia, Oporto
fleece and lambs, 2Jruvian, Russian fleece, Buenos
Ayres, East Indian, Chilian, Turkey, &c., at fair
prices. For Russian combing there is a fair de-
mand, and for the better elasses of Turkey free
from scurff. Oporto lambs are held for such
extreme rates, that only small sales are effected.
East India is moving off pretty freely, at rather better
value. Scotch—Laid Highland is firmly held for rates
though some few parcels. have been disposed of at
a slight reduction, a parcel,or two of laid washed,
very light, is recorded at a reduction of ls. per
241bs. ; cheviot both laid and washed, has been
quiet, cross is dull, but a little selling ; laid Gallo-
way is asked for, and offers of ls. per 241b5., under
recent value, firmly refused ; not much doing in
white Highland, to effect sales, prices must be in
favour of the buyers. English and Irish.—A few
lots of fleeces have changed hands, and the stock
here is much reduced ; for bright haired sorts
there is some improvement, in Yorkshire an
advance of id. per lb. has been realised, for deep
combing descriptions, and large holders don't feel
inclined to sell. In the country the quantity in
the grower's possession is light, for which higher
prices are generally demanded, than what fleeces
can be procured for, in staplers' hands.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market, there has been
a fair demand during the week, with an increased
demand both for speculation and export; and we
find that the consumption from this port, judging
by the average of the last few weeks, must be about
32,000 bales weekly. Brazils are in fair request,
but offered freely and therefore a little heavy. In
Egyptians a fair extent of business has been done,
and no improvement whatever in prices. We still
have a good demand for Surats. 5300 bales Ame-
rican, 70 Egyptian, 2630 Surat, 700 Madras, and
370 Bengal have been taken on speculation and
for export, and 37,310 bales by the trade. The
actual export ' consists of 790 American, 100
Brazils, &c., and 1160 East India—in all
2,050 bales. The sales to-day are 6,000 bales, of
which 1,000 are taken on speculation and for
export. The sales during last month amounted to
185,850 bales, of which 40,990 were reported as
taken on speculation and for export. The actual
exports were 11,800 bales. The consumption this
year-37,256 bales weekly against an actual con-
sumption in 1852 of 85,790 bales weekly,
