LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 28.

The market opened with more steadiness, end the accounts
by the steamer being considered rather in favour of holders,
an increased demand sprung up, and the current qualities of
American commanded rather higher rates; this upward move-
ment was, however, counteracted by a very flat report of busi-
ness in Manchester, and the trade having continued to pur-
chase sparingly, the advance before mentioned has been lost,
and the market has closed heavily at the quotations of Friday
last. Brazil and Egyptian are in moderate request, and are
Bd. per lb. lower. Surat, in consequence of the advises by the
overland mail, his been in good demand, and a considerable
business has been done on peculation, but without change in
prices. Speculators havetaken 8,350 American, 350 Egyptian
and 4,500 Surat, and Exporters 2,00 American, 460 Surat, and
10 Madras.

In Barley no change was observable. Malt was rather de-

F. PT. 28.

Except some rain in the course of last night, we have had
strong healthy, drying winds here since this day week ; the
weather during that period is reported to have been equally
fine also in Ireland, as well as many parts of Scotland, and
leaving out in some degree the remote sections of the north,
the bulk of the British harvest is stated to be well nigh saved,
the accounts on the whole communicating a more favourable
representation of the Grain crops than for several years past.
The trade here has not varied ,much in any respect during
the interval between Tuesday and to-day, sales of Wheat and
Flour having been effected to a limited extent only, entirely
for consumption, and affording no signs of animation or acti-
vity; the present cessation of which in the English markets,
must check such tendency to advanced prices as the increased
firmness we noted ten days ago served to promote in those
quarters we look to for supplies. Irish shipments have hardly
commenced in large quantity as yet, and, except in a few
places, their rates are rather out of proportion, but we doubt
not, with gradually increased delivenes, they will soon accom-
modate themselves to those of the importing country.
The supplies received into this port, coastwise, from Ire-
land, and abroad, since Monday last, are wholly insignificant,
but with a change of wind, now apparent, they are expected
shortly to increase; in anticipation of which, and the country
markets this week, being in general on the decline, the trade
at our Corn Exchange to-day exhibited, in all its bearings, a
dull lingering aspect ; the best descriptions of English, Irish,
and Foreign Wheats, however, continued to be held at our last
quotations, and whilst the value of such therefore appeared to
remain unvaried, all other qualities were decidedly rather
cheaper,:and the saves of any very unimportant. Prime brands
of American Flour becoming scarce,.and being in moderate re-
quest, maintained late prices, stale and uninspected parcels
moving sparingly on scarcely the terms last noted ; home-
made and Irish at the same time remaining unaltered.
In Barley, Malt, and Pease very little business was observa-
ble, and former prices barely obtainable. English and Euro-
pean Beans, although still in limited supply, were offered
cheaper; Egyptian remaining firm at the advance of Tuesday.
In the absence of arrivals, Oats met little inquiry, and that
grain, as well as Oatmeal, merely sustained our last currency.
Yellow Indian Corn remains in slow request for consumption,
neither had we to day any speculative inquiry for parcels on
the spot, and the value is nominally reduced 6d. per qr. ' • but
the scarcity of prime white, for which there were several buy-
ers, has, on the other hand, caused an improvement of similar
extent, in that description. Floating cargoes of Ibrail and Ga-
latz are held for 265. to 275. 6d. (cost, freight, and insurance),
which stops transactions for the time.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 29.,

The Corn trade during the past week has relapsed into its
previous inanimate state: little business has been done, and
prices have not been maintained. To-day we have a slow trade
for every article: no demand beyond the requirements of pre-
Lent consumption. We reduce last quotations for Wheat 3d.
per bushel, Hour Is, per sack, and Oatmeal 6d. per load. The
value of other articles tends downward.
