LIVERPOOL MARKETS-SATURDAY

COTTON.—The business to-day has been but small. The
gales amount to 1,500 bags only. There is no alteration in
price, but the middling and common qualities are more lightly
teld than the rest, owing to the abundance of these kinds now
in the market. The cottun sale to-day was nearly all Ame-
rican, at 11d. and Is. id. per lb.
. _ _

CORN.—The arrivals Of both Grain and Flour since Tues-
day have been inconsiderable. Low Irish Wheats were sold
in our market to-day, for distillation, at ss. and ss. 2d. per
70 lb., being- a decline of 3d. Fine Wheats were also Id.
and 2d. per bushel lower. Oats were rather dull, and barely
kept their last price. Very little is doing in Barley, Malt,
Beans, and Pease, without any change in price. Flour was
in slow demand at our last quotations. Oatmeal, though less
inquired for, was a trifle higher, probably in consequence of
only few good samples being just now in the market.
WooL.—We continue to experience a fair demand for all
kinds of Scotch Wool at our last week's quotations, but a re-
duction seems to be anticipated by the trade as soon as the
new Clips come in. In foreign Wool there is no change.
Import, this week, 5 bags ' • previously this year, 1,987 ditto.
ham PROVISIONS.—The demand for old Butter in our
market has almost ceased, and therefore the prices quoted are
merely nominal. In the article of new Butter, although there
has been a good business done, buyers seem inclined to hold
off, in the expectation that the increased imports will reduce
the prices, and the stocks are considerably increasing. There
is a good demand for Bacon and Hams, and in Lard there still
continues a good business.

The popular author of 44 The Spy,"'" The Pilot,"
&c., is about to gratify the reading public by another story,
which he entitles " The Monnikins." To new productions
of Cooper the English public look forward now-a-days with
an interest equal to that which was formerly created by the
announcement of a new work by the author of " Waverley."
To Cooper, indeed," as the Edinburgh Review justly re-
marks, " the empire of the sea has been conceded by acclama-
tion ; in the lonely desert, or untrodden prairie, among the
savage Indians, or scarcely less savage settlers, we equally
acknowledge his dominion. 4 Within that circle none dares
walk but he.' America has reason certainly to be proud of
her son." None will deny the justice of this tribute to so
distinguished a writer. " The Monnikins" is announced for
immediate publication.
