LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Nov, 20,
Fine Putters have become so scarce and are In so very few hands,
that-their possession may be looked upon as a monopoly, and
holders are in consequence able to obtain very extravagant rates.
We have heard of as high a price as loss having been got at the
close of the week for a parcel of fresh Carlow. We are much sur-
prised and grieved to observe that for the last few years the great
bulk of Irish Butter imported into this part of the country has been
of very inferior quality;—thus necessarily causing a bad trade,
great disparitvin price of an article professedly of the same quality ;
arid throwing of a chance away in favour of our more careful
neighbours on the Continent. There is much steadiness in the
demand for provisions. Bacon is rather dull, and may be bought
2s per cwt. cheaper.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, Nov. 19.
The arrival of grain for this day's market was moderate. There
was a fair business doing in new Wheat, at somewhat under last
week's prices ; but for foreign the demand is very limited. Holders,
however, are very firm, and would not take lower rates. The
Barley trade still continues depressed, the finest samples barely
supporting their late value, whilst the inferior are nearly unsaleable.
Oats and Beaus quite neglected. Shelling last week.

WORCESTER HOP MARKET, Nov. 19.
It is expected that the duty will be declared next week, probably
to-day. Pending the issue of this important document, business
grows rather slack. It is anticipated that it will fall at about
£12,700 for this district, and for the kingdom £144,000. Present
prices :—New Worcesters, 84s to 126 s ; choice, 1355. 1839'5. 658 to
955; choice, 100 s. 1837'5, COs to 755; choice, 80s. 1836'5, 42s to
56s ; choice, 635. Weighed on Saturday—new Hops, 218 pockets ;
old, 71; during the week—new, 117; old 4.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, Nov 19.
The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have been small;
some runs were left over from that day, which sold at rather less
money. There was but little business transacted in foreign, which
is held at the same prices. Barley is a dull sale and rather lower.
Boiling Peas are in demand, but non-boilers are very unsaleable ;
maple and grey remain the same. Beans are unaltered in
There is a steady demand for old Oats but the trade for new Irish
is flat.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 19.
Although we had a very limited number of beasts on sale at
market to-day, the Beef trade, owing to the small attendance of
buyers, was on the whole dull, and Monday's quotations were
barely supported. From Scotland the receipts were small, viz.,
only 10 Scots and 35 Sheep, most of which were of inferior quality.
The supply of Sheep was scanty, while the sale for all descriptions
except the best old Downs was heavy, at unaltered rates. With
Calves we were well supplied, while the inquiry for them was ex-
tremely dull, at a decline of from 2d to ad per 131 b. Neat small
Porkers sold freely, but large Hogs were a mere drug. Mulch Cows
sold at from £l6 to •;.,1 each, including their small calf. By the
quantities of 81bs, sinking the offal.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, Nov. 19.
Sugar.—The demand has improved considerably, and higher
prices have been paid for good and line descriptions, which are ex-
tremely scarce. The sales are 600 hhds B. P., 1700 bags Bengal,
chiefly from 67s to 71s 6d. and 6700 bags Mauritius, one-half sold
with all faults, by auction, and the remainder at 58s 6d to 65s 6d
per cwt. Foreign.—The demand is very limited, and only 55 tces.
and 80 brls. of Foreign West India are reported, at 14$ for low
brown, to 26s 6d for fine yellow. A parcel of 1100 bags East India,
imported from Singapore, (subject to 32s duty,) was sold by public
auction at 51s gd to sgs 6d per cwt. duty paid. The sales of
Molasses are limited to a parcel of 70 puns. Demerara, .at 23s 6d
per cwt. Coffee.—The market for Plantation is very firm, but the
sales have only been to a moderate extent, consisting too casks
Jamaica, at the annexed rates. 244 bags of good Ceylon sold at
74s pa cwt. For foreign there is some inquiry, but at low prices.
150 bags black Pepper sold at 32d to 41d per lb. Nothing done in
Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento. Rice.—A small lot of fine Carolina
sold at 365, and 100 bags fine Bengal at 14s per cwt. • Rum.—The
demand is still chiefly confined to the finest qualities; 100 puns.
Jamaica have been sold at 3s 5d for ordinary, to 6s for favourite
marks, and 70 puns. fine Demerara at 3s Pd to 4s 3d per gallon.
Tea.—No alteration has taken place; a fair business has been
done,at last week's quotations.

price; 40 chests Lac Dye at 6d, and 50 chests Shell Lac at 40s; 25
cases Castor Oil sold at 6d, 150 bags Sago at Ids, and Sago Flour at
14s. Saltpetre is dull of sale, and 600 bags only to report, at 285
to 288 6d per cwt. Nitrate of Soda, 1000 bags sold, and the price
returned is 235 641 to 24s 6d.

Dyewoods.—The sales have been only to a trifling extent, at
former rates. There is less demand for Turpentine, and for 700
brls. offered or, Wednesday, 12s Id being the highest bid, the parcel
was withdrawn. About 700 brls. of American Tar were sold on
Friday last at 13s. The animated Inquiries for Montreal Pot Ashes
have quite subsided, and, although 35s has been obtained for a few
brls., the market is now dull .at this price. Some sales of Pearl
Ashes have been made at 32s 6d, and although 33s is generally re-
quired, it has been given for some few barrels only. Rides.—Salted
River Plate Ox have been in rather better demand, and about 12,000
sold at 4d per lb, with sto 81bs tare. Tobacco.—The market re-
mains dull; the sales this week are under 100 Mids. at rather lower
prices.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 19.
Rather a better attendance of buyers in our market to-day,
but they are only disposed to operate at very low and easier
prices the amount of business is estimated at 3000 bales,
all to the trade.

The weekly sales amounted to 19,840 bales. Priees gene-
rally 11- to 4- lower than last week ; and this is the case with
Brazil and Surat, as well as all classes of American Cotton.

COTTON MARKET, Nov Emma 2'

For some time past the report of our market has been unvaried,
viz. tame, dull and flat, nevertheless prices seem to have bottomed,
and holders evince great firmness. The quantity sold on Saturday
was 3000 bales, and to-day 3000 bates : the market closing with
greater firmness.

instances a further decline has been submitted to, particularly in

which are freely offered. Brazil is again lower, and extremely dif-
Ilcult of sale i►► quaut.ty. Exporters have taken 50, and speculators
200 American.
