CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton market at Liverpool was rather firmer:
sales 3,000 bales, including 2,500 American, at bid. to
7iil. per lb. Shares were dull, but with little change in
prices.
As the Corn trade is now the object of such general
attention, it may be interesting to direct our readers to
the fall of about ss. per quarter noticed in the report of
the market given is another column of The Sun, and with
the possibility of a greater decline ere the conclusion of
business. The supplies which have been received in
London since this day. week have been enormous, viz..
78,000 qrs. of wheat, 21.000 of barley, 36,000 of oats, 6,000
of Indian corn, and 50,000 barrels of flour. About 60,000
quarters were on board vessels passing the Sound,
cording to the achices received this morning, and
360,000 qazaters are estimated to have reached ali toe
ports of the United- Eingdockduring the past we. k, a
tolrrable stop gap fur the' national consumption. Up to
the 19th inst. there has .b.en a vast influx of shipping
into Riga, and the nUmber of vessels which left that.
port during the previous ten weeks, nearly all corn-
laden, was no less than 1,500.

The exchange at Hatnburgh last Friday was without
alteration, being 35, but gold was at 431.
W hen we consider the extraordinary quantity of grain
received, we cannot feel surprised at the recent decline
in the rates for bills of exchange, because no doubt a
good deal, probably the buik of this corn, and much of
what is en route, has already been drawn for. The larger
amount of silver sent away last week, upwards of 500,000
ounces, was in part liquidation.
