LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 13.
There has only been a moderate business doing in Cotton during
the last two days, being yesterday 3500, and to-day 3.000 bales, all
to the trade. Prices are a shade lower than on Friday last.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 11.
Our receipts of Irish Produce are this week large ; there is also
a good supply coastwise—especially of foreign Wheat from Lon-
don. There has been less activity in the demand for Wheat during
the last ten days than for some time previous without producing
much, if any, disposition on the part of holders to force sales, and
with little or no effect on its value. The best samples of English
white have reached 13s, red 12s; the finer qualities of foreign
white have brought lls 9d to 1/s 3d ; red Ils 40 lls 6d ; ordinary
runs lOs to lOs 9d ; the top price for Irish new is lis 9d ; whilst
inferior parcels are offering at 9s to 9s 6d per 701bs. Flour has been
neglected, and, in some instances, lower rates have been accepted ;
63s to 65s may be considered extreme quotations for Irish, and 64s
to 67s per sack for English manufacture. Oats have found a pretty
free vend at fully the rates of Tuesday; 3s 9d to 3s 100 having been
paid for good, and is 11(1 per 451 b for the best mealing quail tics.
Large sales have also been made in Oatmeal, at 35s to 35s 6d per
load. Barley has met a brisk demand ; both maltsters and dis-
tillers have been free buyers, and not only have the receipts coast-
wise been all cleared off, but some quantity has been bought, to
arrive by inland navigation. Prices of English have ruled from
42s to 46s per imperial quarter, and for Irish from 5s 6d to 6s per
601bs. The trade have been buyers of Malt to some extent ; the
best has realised 6Gs per imperial quarter. English old Beans are
saleable at 4Es to 52s ; new, at 4.. es to 46s per 'imperial quarter.
Some parcels of Irish new have been disposed of at 44s to 45s per
4601h5. Pease are scarce, and command our highest quotations. In
bonded Wheat little has been done : in fact, holders are demanding
Orices nearly on a par with the quotations free. Some parcels of
ats, under lock, have changed hands at 2s 6d to 3s per 45Ibs.
At this morning's market Wheat met only a very limited sale
though generally offered at a decline of 3d per bushel on the quo-
tations of lastTuesclay. Flour was Is per sack and Oatmeal 6,1 to
9d per load cheaper. Oats were held for previous rates, and a few
parcels were taken off the market to hold over. There was rather
less demand for Barley than at the close of the week, but 46s per
imperial quarter was paid for chevalier. A cargo of French
Wheat was sold at 12s per 701bs in bond.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION AIARKET, DEC. 13.
The Butter market is very quiet. A continuance of the present
fine open weather for a little time, will, we think. induce holders
to meet consumers more freely.—The transactions in Beef and
Pork are to no great extent ;—there are, however, several inquiries
for the latter article on North American account.—Bacon and
Hams unaltered in price—demand good.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 10.
The supply of Beasts at market to-day has been exceedingly
large, but the quality has been only middling; a great number
being very small and inferior Beef, and there being many country
buyers present, and a selling market, the principal part of the
Beasts have been sold up, and those that were of good quality have
realised great prices, even larger than last week. We have also had
a larger supply of Sheep than the preceding week, and prices much
the same, but M utton has not been so largely in demand as Beef,
and there have been a few left unsold at the close of the market,
although throughout it may be considered a very brisk one. The
best Beef was readily sold at from sid to 6d, middling Si! to 5,0,
ordinary at about 41d per lb, but principally at the antecedent
prices. Good Wether Mutton may be quoted at from Old to Old,
with some as high as 7d, middling and Ewes 6d, wills a few of very
ordinary quality at rld per lb. Number of Cattle at market :
Beasts 2,017, Sheep 5,987.

FROM THE LONDON PRICES CURRENT,
December 13, 1837.
&MAR.—This afternoon the advanced prices obtained last week
were fully supported, but owing to the darkness which prevailed,
there was not much business doing privately, either for the scale or
pan, buyers not being able to see the colours of the samples. Two
public sales of Barbadoes, consisting of 237 bds 11 tcs 36 brls,went
off with less spitrit, owing to the above cause having prevented
several buyers from examining them, still all were sold at prices
fully equal to those of the last auction ; fine brought 67s 6d to 68s,
good 65s to 66s 6d, good mid. 63s 6d to his 6d, mid 62s to 635, one lot
orcl 59a 6d.

FolisiCl4 .—Prices continue very firm for white and yellow Ha-
vannah, and there has again been several inquiries, but the short
supply at market has checked business, and the transactions have
been confined to 300 boxes of the latter by private contract at
27s 6d for mid qualities.
CC/PFEIL—This afternoon the demand for East and West India
was totally put a stop to by the announcement of 5000 bags Cey-
lon for auction o❑ Tuesday next, and the whole of 57 casks 209
bags Jamaica and Demerara at public sale were bought in at late
prices. _

PacivisioNs.—The large supply of Irish produce during the
past week have damped the markets for those kind of articles, but
prices have scarcely undergone any depression. Irish Butter is
taken off in small quantities only at about Is per cwt. below former
rates. Bacon supports its previous value, but the trade buy spa-
ringly. Lard is selling steadily, and in some instances has brought
advanced rates. For Dutch Butter the demand has not been lively,
and to effect sales a decline of 2s per cwt. has been submitted to,
fine realising only 102 s to 104 s per cwt. Cheese is still very dull
generally, but prices cannot be quoted lower.
Rum, BRANDY, and HoLLANus.—For Rum there fins been only
a limited demand, bnt importers remain firm, and buyers have been
compelled to pay rather, higher prices for Leewards ; Jamaica has
maintained former rates. Some fine and strong Demerara, for
which 5s was offered, was withdrawn from the market for the
present. Toe demand for Brandy has again been limited, both for
home consumption and export, and prices 2d per gallon under
those of last week have been accepted. In Geneva the transactions
have been trivial.
