The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
quiet, but prices were well supported. Sales about
6,000 bales, of which the trade took about 2,000, and
the remainder on speculation.
At Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s, yesterday, the market was
firm, and rather better prices were obtained. A good
many shares were in demand, and a good proportion of
them sold. The following area few of the principal
sales:—

We are pleased to find a prevalent impression that
we shall very, shortly have a decline in the prices of
grain. The wheat harvest being about an average, and
the imports under the new corn-law very considerable,
it does appear that the quotations have been run up to a
point beyond what can he maintained, even allowing
for the deficiency of the potato crop. It is satisfactory
to see that there are continued large imports of butter,
cheese, fruit, and other useful articles of consumption,
from the Continental ports ; otherwise we should most
assuredly have these also at most exorbitant prices, and
it may be hoped that there will be abundant supplies of
meat from America.
To-morrow there is to be a public sale of American
butter, lard, family beef, mess pork, and Australian con-
centrated soup, and it would be a great satisfaction if the
supply for the present were adequate to allow of similar
auctions daily. We believe American provisions gene-
rally have found more favour at the outports than in the
metropolis, although they exhibit now a great improve-
ment in quality, compared with the original consign
To-da the wheat trade. as on .tow,
anu pricks had rather a downward tendency than other- '
wise, the millers wisely refraining! from purchases.
Holders, it is considered, will do well to avail themselves
of present rates, as • prices generally rule higher before
Cliristmos than in the spring.
The steamer from Halifax, with American dates, a
we, k later than those brought by the Great Western, is
expected by Friday or Saturday.
The Funds are firmer to-day, and there has been a
fair business doing. Consols are 948 to 95 for present
transfer, ard 95 for Account. The premium on
Exchequer- bills, however, has not rallied. It con-
tinues at 10s. to 13s. Bank Stock has been rather better,
viz., 205 to 206. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents, are 95 4, and the Three per Cents., 934 8.
East Indian Stock is at 259, and South Sea Stock at
105. Money is easy, and the principal as ant is first-
class bills of short date to make advances upon ; for
second rate paper is taken at more than proportionable
rates, owing partly to the corn and cotton speculations
exciting very proper caution among lenders.
The intelligence from Lisbon is considered of an un-
favourable character, and the Bonds, Four per Cents.,
have declined to 41 and 39. Mexican Stock is flat at
22. Grenada Bonds are 20-'l. Spanish Three per Cents.

tendency in many instances.
