The market on Saturday assumed a firmer tone, with more
disposition to purchase, and the same feeling prevailed on
Monday, when an advance of id. was obtained for American.
The advices per steamer on Tuesday morning of a frost having
occurred on the 15th ultimo in a large section of the cotton
district imparted additional strength to the market, and a
slight improvement was obtained, making the advance since
Friday id. in the common and middling, and id. in the better
kinds. In Brazil and Egyptian a fair business has been done,
at the full rates of last week, whilst Surat has been in good
request, but the market being fairly supplied, prices have been
irregular, and barely realised Friday's quotations. Speculators
have trken 10,990 American, 20 Pernam, 1300 Egyptian, and
4500 Surat ; and there are reported for export 890 American
and 1030 Surat. The market to-day closed steadily at the
improvement noticed above ; the sales were about 6000 bales,

including 1000 taken on speculation and for export

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3.
This day's market was tolerably well attended. An advance
of Id. to 2d. upon the annexed currency was realised for all
descriptions of Wheat, but the millers did not purchase very
freely; we have, however, a continued sale for Ireland to some
extent, and a tolerable speculative inquiry, which makes the
aggregate transactions up to a fair amount. We experience
again to-day an excited inquiry for Flour, for which many
holders are now requiring extravagant rates, which checks a
further large extent of business; still a good deal has been
done at an improvement of Is. to Is. 6d. per brl. upon Tues-
day's rates. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas are steady, but
without any particular activity. Oats and Oatmeal, on the
spot, likewise fully support our late prices, but are rather slow
of sale than otherwise; in the latter article, however, upwards
of 30,000 loads have been sold for arrival at 235. 9d. to 245. 3d.
per 2401b5., cost, freight, and insurance according to the period
of shipment. Indian Corn In store is steady in value; floating
cargoes are more in request, few offering, and prices, if any-
thing, rather tending against buyers.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3

The transactions in Beef continue on a limited scale, the
dealers only buying for present wants.—The market for Por k
has an upward tendency : the Irish shippers have advanced
their prices 2s. to 3s. per barrel ; considerably higher rates are
also current in France and Hamburgh.—lrish Bacon is held
for an advance. No American here.—The demand for Lard
has not improved, the sales for the week are under 20 tons ;
we cannot quote any alteration in prices, but a buyer of quan-
tity could operate on easier terms.—No American Cheese in
the market.—Further considerable shipments of Irish Butter
have been made to New York.

IRISH PROVISION MARKET,

business was transacted last week, and prices advanced 4s to 5s
per cwt. since our last report. Sp culators again purchased
on an extensive scale; a considerable quantity was also taken
for shipment to the United States, and the dealers also bought
very freely of good qualities of Sligo, Newry, and that class, at
from 78s to 82s.—To-day, hollers ask a further advance of
is to 2s, which buyers are compelled to give, and some heavy
sales were made at the quotations :—Belfast, 84s to 88s ; fine
Waterford, 86s to 90s; Clonmel and Wexford, 86s to 88s;
Coleraine and Ballymoney, 84s to 86s; Limerick, 78s to 82s;
