MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 2C►.

There has been an improved demand for Flour during the
past week ; buyers, however, act with extreme caution, and
purchasing only in retail for present consumption have been
enabled to supply themselves on somewhat better terms. _ .

The arrivals` at Liverpool continue large; yesterday a fair
amount of business was done both there and at Wakefield, but
at rather lower prices.
To-day we have a tolerable attendance, and considerable in-
quiry for Flour, holders are disposed to meet the demand even
at some concession, and we quote Wheat 3d. to 4d. per bushel,
Flour Is. 6d. per barrel, and 2s. to 3s. per sack, Oats 2d. to 3d.
per bushel, and Beans 2s. to 3s. per quarter lower than last
week. Malt in slow request, at previous rates.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JUNE 25.

There has been a slight improvement in the demand for
Sugar, particularly for white Bengal, but no change in price,
and the sales are 500 hhds B. P. and 4500 bags Bengal, at the
quotations. The demand for Foreign is confined to exporters ;
the sales of the week are 140 cases, 2COO bags brown Brazil, and
240 boxes yellow Havana, at the quotations, besides which a
cargo of 1200 boxes, of similar quality, has been sold, afloat, at
255. per cwt., deliverable in Holland. The arrivals of Molasses
within the last fortnight have been very large, but the trade
being unwilling to hold stocks, importers have not been able to
effect sales, though prices below the quotations would be
accepted. . . . .

The demand for Coffee is not active, but prices are well sup-
ported; 90 tees. Jamaica, at auction, brought fully last week's
rates. In Foreign, the sales are confined to 100 bags Porto
Rico and 40 barrels Rio, at the quotations. Nothing done in
Cocoa, Ginger, Pepper, or Pimento.
. 500 tces. Carolina Rice sold from 20s. 3d. for very ordinary,
to 245. 9d. for fine, 9000 bags Bengal, at 17s. for broken, to 195.
and 19s. Gd. for fine white.
The business in Rum has been very trifling, Demerara, 39
per cent. 0. P., has been sold at 4s. 9d., and East India at
2s. 101. per gallon, proof.
A fair inquiry exists for common to good Congou Tea, the
former at 9d. and the latter from lid. to is. td. ; the good and
fine qualities still continue neglected. In Greens, all Canton-
made sorts are heavy of sale, whilst the good medium kinds are
a little more inquired for, at rather improved rates; the market
is quite hare of the finest descriptions, and are much wanted.
The sales in East India Drysalteries have been 50 chests Shell
Lac, low to good orange at 465. to 575. ; 26 chests Gum Arabic,
very fine, up to S6s. ; 35 bales Bengal Safflower at 755. to 1055.,
and 32 bales Bombay at 15s. per cwt.; 100 pockets of Turmeric
at I6s. ; and 1000 hales and baskets of Gambier, price not
reported; the sales in Saltpetre and Nitrate of Soda continue
trifling, and prices barely supported.
There has been a fair demand for all kinds of Guano, and
the rates are barely maintained for the lower descriptions,
whilst Peruvian remains steady at .'£; 15s. to .t 9 per ton.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 25.
The demand for Cotton has been very good throughout the
week from the trade; exporters and speculators have also
bought freely. The market continues firm, with prices gra-
dually hardening, being now fully id. per lb. higher for Ame-
rican and Surat, and id. to id. per lb. for most descriptions of
long stapled, (particularly Bahia and Egyptian,) than on this
day week. 3880 American, 960 Surat, and 690 Pernam have
been taken for export, and 5700 American, 100 Pernam, and
4000 Surat on speculation.
