LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 26.

The sales on Thursday last were 4000 bags ; Friday 5000 ;
Satur-
day 2500, Monday 3000, Tuesday 2500, and to-day 3500. The de-
mand since last week has been only moderate. Holders continue
to offer their stocks freely. In American descriptions prices have
declined id per lb. Brazils are firmer, particularly Perriams ;
Egyptian and East India remain steady. The import of the week
amounts to 8654 bags.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 27.
Select parcels of scale Belfast Butter command 108 s to 110 s ;
fair qualities loss to 105 s. Favourite Ballymoney marks are worth
103 s; and the stock of all descriptions so light that holders deem
themselves warranted in looking for still higher rates. Not much
inquiry for Beef and Pork,—this portion of the trade it is however
expected will be brisk next month. Bacon, of good quality, is held
at 50s, being an advance of Is to 2s in the last few days.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. 25.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
Our supplies have continued very moderate since Tdesday last,
chiefly owing to a continuance of easterly winds; part of the
Wheat coastwise is of foreign growth, and very useful to our
millers and dealers and for export to Ireland, for all which, how-
ever, the demand has been very limited diving the past week ; but
the prices of Wheat, and of every other article in the trade, as
quoted this day week, has been fully supported here and in all our
country markets.
The only alteration in the duties on grain from foreign ports
since Friday last, is an increase of 2s 6d per quarter on Rye ; we
have again to notice a few thousand barrels of American Flour
having been sold on the passage at 30s, and some parcels have
changed hands, lying here, at 305 6d; and in retail quantities, for
export, at 31s to 31s 6d per barrel in bond ; Grain in bond continues
nominally as free, all owing the duties.
The weather during almost the whole of January, and up to the
10th instant, was very wet and unfavourable for the winter seed
time, but it has been dry and very severely frosty ever since, with-
out snow, and still continues much more favourable for agricultural
operations.
The average price of Wheat for this town appears last week 20S
8d per quarter higher than in the one preceding ; but these ex-
treme variations in our averages may proceed from the demand
running alternately on the finest English, or on the inferior Irish
Wheat, and not from fraudulent or incorrect returns.
At This Day's market there was again only a moderate demand
for every article in the trade, at fully the prices of last Tuesday,
and in some instances for particular qualities of Wheat a small
advance was obtained.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, FEBRUARY 26.

Foreign.—The business of this week has been confined to a few
retail transactions ; both manufacturers and dealers have purchased
merely sufficient to satisfy their immediate wants, but our stocks
being light, prices were sustained. import for the week, 163 bags ;
previously this year, 3863 bags. Total 3796.

FROM THE LONDON PRICES CURRENT,
FEBRUARY 25, 1840.

Sugar.—All dry yellow descriptions were in good request by the
grocers, arid the quality on show being rather small, the merchants
obtained prices 6d above those of Friday last; brown kinds cannot
be quoted higher, but the rates previously established were fully
supported, and a fair sale prevailed. From the refiners there was a
steady demand, and previous rates were well maintained, and good
strong descriptions brought 6d advance.
Foreign.—There was.a much better inclination shown to buy all
descriptions ; 521 boxes white, 777 boxes yellow Havana, and 41
chests Bahia were offered at public sale ; white Havana was nearly
all damaged, and sold at fair prices, middling and tine quality of
which fetched 2gs to 3-is.

Coffee.—There was little business doing by private contract in any
description, but prices have undergone no change; at public sale,
1461 bags Rio, imported direct, 155 bags Bahia, and 777 bags East
India were offered ; nearly all the sound quality of the Rio was
taken in above its value, viz. for good ordinary brown.
Tallow.—A large business was transacted in P. Y. Candle on the
spot as well as for delivery in the next two months at sls gd to 52s
for delivery in October, November, and December next.
Rum, Brandy, and Ilollands.—Rum is held for previous rates,
but the demand has been limited for Jamaica as well as Leewards
the sales since we last wrote have been in the former 140 puns, 28
to 32 per cent over proof at 5s 6d to 5s Bd, 33 to 35 over 5s gd to
5s 10d. Cognac, first brands, of the vintage of 1836, was dis-
posed of in ;large quantities at 5s 6d to 5s 7d in Mts, and 58 4d to
5s 5d in puns. in Geneva a fair business has been transacted at 2s
to 28 2d per gallon. British Corn Spirits have secured a good de-
mand at gs 10d to lOs per gallon.
Provisions —The demand for all kinds of Butter of good and fine
quality continues active, and a good business has again been done
at improved prices for Irish, the inferior kinds however do not find
a more ready sale than recently; the best Irish brings 100 s to 104 s.
and fine Dutch 108 s to 110 s per cwt.—Lard in slow request at former
prices.—Bacon cannot be quoted lower, but the trade themselves
with sufficient only to meet their wants, which keeps the market
quiet.
