LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 16

Business continued on a moderate scale up to Tuesday last,
when the accounts by the packet enabled holders for the mo-
ment to obtain a trifling advantage, but the market again being
freely supplied with the recent imports, although the demand
has increased, prices of all descriptions close quite as low as on
Friday last. Taken on speculation, 1920 American and 920
Surat, and for export, 27d0 American, 1150 Surat, 210 Bahia,
and 250 Egyptian

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 16,

Beef has moved more freely this week, without further alter-
tion in price. A parcel of 200 tierces new (Cleveland) has been
sold, but the price has not transpired. Irish, Hamburgh, and
French Pork are dearer is. to 2s. per barrel respectively. No
American here. For Bacon the demand is slow, hut, there be-
ing no disposition to force sales, prices are maintained. No
improvement in Hams or Shoulders. In the absence of arri-
vals of Lard the stock has become much reduced; holders have
in consequence been enaoled to raise prices Is. to 2s. per cwt.,
and the sales for the week reach 110 to 120 tons. The stock of
Cheese being now in small compass, prices are a shade firmer.
The sales of Canadian Butter have been to a considerable ex-
tent, at a further advance of Is. per cwt.

CORN

MARKETS

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 16.—The leading British markets, held
up to this date during the week, appear invariably firm, with a
further advance in several cases of Is. per qr. in the value of
Wheat and Barley; in others full prices are reported, and in
general a tendeney rather upwards is indicated. In the most
important districts of Ireland a somewhat improved feeling in
the trade is also apparent, since they have no alternative there
butllto copy the example set them on this side of the channel.
During the interval since Tuesday we have experienced a fair
steady business here in Foreign Wheat and Flour, partly for
consumgtion and principally on speculation, at the extreme
rates last noted. Beyond a very moderate quantity of Oatmeal
from Ireland, we have received nothing worth naming into this
port thence or coastwise since Monday last ; and except 720
qrs. of Wheat from the Mediterranean. with 1200 sacks french
Flour, we have no arrivals whatever fresh in from abroad ; the
exports at the same time being comparatively light. Furnished
rather freely with Wheat from the neighbouring growers, at
steady prices since harvest, our local millers hesitate to follow
the late advance in Foreign, and have bought rather sparingly
at our market to-day: for investment, however, considerable
transactions have taken place in the latter this morning. and
in partial instances an amendment of Id. per 701 b. upon Tues-
day's rates has been realised.—For American Flour an active
inquiry continues to exist, and good fair brands would readily
command 21s. 6d. per barrel,but such being held firmly at 225.,
and choice qualities on still higher terms, the sales to-day have
been less extensive In couSequeimc, ratilot French and Irish
remain in moderate demand at our last quotations. Barley
and Malt, being in tolerable request, were ls. per qr. dearer.—
Beans and Peas ruled the same as last noted. Oats, iu the ab-
sence of any fresh supply of moment, improved Id. per 45th.
over tqe advance of Tuesday; and Oatmeal, meeting an active
demand for holding over, was 6d. higher again to-dsy, 235. 6d.
per load having been paid. Indian Corn in warehouses here 6d.
per qr. dearer. Floating cargoes in request, but much busi-
ness is not practicable, on account of the prices required

MANCHESTER, JAN. 17.—Great firmness marks every de-
partment of the Corn and Flour trade. In the agricultural
markets prices still incline upwards, whilst every foreign re-
port shows a similar tendency. Our market to-day shows much
firmness on the part of holders, who adhere to extreme, and, in
some instances, enhanced prices. Buyers. however, still act
very cautiously, and we cannot quote more than a moderate
business in any article. We repeat last week's quotations for
Wheat and Flour; Oats are Id. per bushel, Oatmeal Is. per load,
and Indian Corn Is. per quarter higher. In Beans and other
articles no variation.

PRESTON, JAN. 17.—The supplies of all descriptions of
grain, flour, and oatmeal, fresh up are very trifling. The trade
since this day se'nnight has maintained a firm tone, and
although the dealers are still cautious in their operations, the
transactions on the aggregate have been to a fair amount, and
prices have gradually improved. We had a small supply of
English wheat from our neighbouring growers at this day's
market, which met a brisk sale, and, upon red, an advance of
6d. to Is. per windle was established. We likewise raise our
quotations for Irish and foreign red, 2d. per bushel. Flour in
fair demand at full prices. Beans were out of condition, and,
consequently, met a languid sale. Upon a more general in-
quiry for oats, good qualities commanded id. to Id. per bushel
more money. Oatmeal in fair request, and 6d. per load
dearer. Bran 6d. per pack higher.
WAKEFIELD, JAN. 16.—The arrival this week is moderate,
and there is a fair show of samples ; the demand is slow, but
holders continue very firm, and late prices are fully realised.
Barley keeps scarce, and gradually improves in price. The de-
mand for Oats and Shelling is quite in retail, and their value
unaltered. Beans meet a fair sale at late prices. Malt is held
with increased firmness.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JAN. 17.—The supply of wheat
to-day from the farmers was larger than for the last few weeks
past, but owing to the damp and changeable state of the
weather, the conition of the greater part was very unsatis-
factory; however, a good clearance was effected, at fully last
week's rates. For ship or granaried parcels the demand proved
dull, and sales limited, although no decline in value can be
quoted. For malting barley prices ruled firm, choice quality
having this week realised 30s. per quarter. For grinding there
is very little inquiry. The supply of oats from the farmers
still continues liberal, although only moderate from the coast;
and the rates of this day se'nnight were well maintained for all
descriptions of quality. In other grain no alteration can be
noted. South country flour in large supply, but prices were
fully supported.

WISIACH, JAN. 17.—At our market to-day there has been
an unusual show of Wheat, and our farmers succeeded in
obtaining rather better prices than last week. Nearly all our
Red Wheats are going for Scotland and Antwerp.
DUBLIN, JAN. 16.—We had but a few samples of first farm-
er's Wheat at this day's market, and an advance of about 6d.
per barrel was obtained. Barley and Oats were in better sup-
ply, and brought the currencies of Tuesday. Full prices were
demanded for Wheat, but few transactions occurred. There
was rather more demand for Indian Corn, and in some instan-
ces an advance of 6d. per qr. was paid.

CORK, JAN. 17.—Flour meets a free sale, and for prime
samples 6d. per cwt. advance is obtainable. Wheat maintains
the late improvement, at which a good consumptive demand is
felt. Indian Corn meets more attention, at. 2s. 6d. per ton
over last week's prices.
