CITY, QUARTER 7'O 7 HREL
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, en Saturday. Iv°
steady. Sales 5,500 to 6,000 bales, at steady ran
American 34d. to s:id. per lb. A better feeling prevailed
in the Railway Share Market, and a fair business was
done, but at the clu..e the quotations were flatter.
In a communication from Great Yarmouth, dated
Saturday, it is stated—" We have a miserably wet day
here, although during the week there have been many
intervals of sunshine, and these in conjunction with 4
fine dry wind, have given the farmers opportunities
which they have not lost, as there is very little wheat
abroad in Norfolk now. Tho wheats which were first
stacked are certainly not in good condition,
and must stand till March next before the/
will be fit for threshing, but there is s fair
' quantity on the stack,' which will do for consumpti°ll
in the intermediate time, whilst in the barns for inune:
diate use there is below an average quantity, but to no
against this, the farmers are, where there capital have
allowed them, larger holders of old wheat than has been
known for years, and although a few months back "I;
merchants were holders to a very limited extent 0
wheat, yet just before harvest the deliveries were veil:
great at a lower figure than the present by some 65. per
quarter, and there is now an average qu Nantity in the
hands of the speculators. Therefore, as tar as ...or.l0lk
is concerned, I think we have every prospect of a fair
supply.
" The Barley is nearly all abroad. It is not a firs!'
rate crop, for although the quality of the early sown Is
certainly good, the colour is injured, while the later sown
is coarse and grey.
"The Potatoes are all going, and the Turnip crop is veri
far from good. This will cause a large consumption 0
Oil-cake.' '
It is stated in a report, by Messrs. Witherby and
Hanson, upon the dried fruit market, that :
" In the Board of Trade returns for the first six menthe
of 1847, Currants were the only article of grocery
_f
provisions which had fallen off in consumption, an °7,0
:
pared with the previous year. The consumption of Pli
United Kingdom in 1847 was, it will be remember:
1.500 tons less than that of 1846, say 16,500 tons agna!;
18,000 tons. The official returns last issued show that
the consumption has again considerably increased, tbnt°'
the first six months of this year having been 2.1
tons more than that of the corresponding months, °,,
1847. The increase bas been principally in the Londe'
deliveries, which, during that period have been 4,600 t°
against 2,800 tons in 1847, and 3,100 tons in 187
whilst at Liverpool they have been 2,000 tons in IS"
and 1,650 tons and 2,300 tons in 1847 and 1846 re.
spectively."
