LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 7.
The demand for Cotton has again been on a limited scale
throughout the week, and the increased desire on the part of
some holders to effect sales has prnduced a further decline of
id. per lb. on American, Brazil, and Egyptian, and *d. per lb.
on Surat. Speculators have taken 5730 American and 100 Surat,
and exporters 100 American and 200 Surat. 150 Stained Sea
Island are announced for auction on Monday next.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE

DEC. 4

The arrivals up to Friday, added to those into this port sub-
sequently, furnish for the week a middling increase only of
Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, coastwise and from Ireland; a
Food supply of Wheat, from the north of Europe, with a limited
importation of Wheat and Indian Corn, including 8,749 brls.

Flour from the United States and Canada, and a fair quantity
of Beans, chiefly from Egypt.
We had a return of rain here at the close of last week, which

by frosi

old east wind this

Morning. In Ireland also excessive wet weather for some
weeks past is still complained of, not only protracting Wheat

sowing'in late districts,' hut interrupting the deliveries of corn
from the growers; by which the prices of native produce are
reported to be kept tolerably steady, with rather more business

where a slight advance in Wheat has been acquired, the English
markets during the week have been languid, and in general
either feebly supported or rather inclining downwards.

At our ni.nrke.tthis morning there was little alteration in the
value of good Wheats ; and although inferior samples were
rather lower, the difference scarcely warrants an alteration in

the quotations

Prime brands of American Flour were held on the same
terms as last week, but not so readily saleable as at that time ;
and Irish was decidedly rather lower, and very difficult of dis-
posal._ _ _ . _ _ _ .

Barley and Malt continued to be neglected, and nominally
rather cheaper. Beans were also in less demand, and the turn
cheaper. Oats, although not plentiful, were id. per 451 b. lower;
and Oatmeal barely maintained the rates of this day week.

Indian Corn met an improved inquiry, and sales of yellow,
in moderate quantities, realized an advance of Is. per quarter
upon the currency of this day se'nnight.

CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 7

The arrivals of English, Irish and.ForeiiiiGrain into this
port, since Monday last, are comparatively insignificant, and
those of Flour and Oatmeal very limited in amount.
Since Tuesday the weather has been variable, and the frost
having disappeared, the atmosphere is now seasonable for De-
cember.

Up to this time, during the present week, the British and
Irish markets appear in most cases rather weaker; and in the
course of the same period, the trade in all its branches here has
remained extremely inactive, but without affecting, in any ma-
terial degree, the position of the currency represented in the
preceding circular.
The navigation of the Baltic, as well as several rivers in the
north of Europe, being partially impeded by ice, our depend-
ence for Foreign supplies of grain, during winter, must rest
partly upon the aid of America and the south of Europe, but
mainly upon the resources of British growth, as the consump-
tion of Ireland will require importations of Indian Corn and
Foreign Wheats, and the prices there, being nearly equal to
ours, will naturally curtail the exports from the sister isle to
this country.

Having no extensive country buyers in attendance at our
Corn Exchange to-day, and our home dealers almost wholly on
the resexve, we have had to note an excessively dull trade in all
its bearings, holders of Wheat, notwithstanding, resisted any
further abatement, and consequently in the few limited sales
effected our last quotations were realised.—Flour even of very
superior quality moved slowly at previous rates, and all ordi-
nary and tender descriptions of English, Irish, and Foreign
were very unsaleable, and nominally lower in value.

Barley and Malt, appearing to be entirely neglected, prices
were scarcely ascertainable ; and Beans, as well as Pease, were
rather easier to purchase.—Oats, although continuing to come
very sparingly to hand, met little inquiry, and together with
Oatmeal, remained stationary in value.

Owing'to the limited quantity of Indian Corn offering, and
unabated firmness on the part of holders, a slight advance was
paid on the few transactions which occurred to-day.
