LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 20,

tinent continues to

have a very injurious effect, not only in Manchester, but also on
this market ; the trade still buying sparingly, but the opera-
tions of exporters are daily to fair extent. The same desire to
sell, as noticed last week, remains unabated, and has caused a
further deciine of id. in nearly all descriptions, the market
closing heavily. Exporters have taken 3940 American, 80 Per-
awl 100 Madras, and speculators 2380

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. APRIL 17

Having very few vessels recently inwards, either Coastwise
or from Ireland, the arrivals of any kind of Produce thence, or
from the United States during the past week, are perfectly
insignificant; whilst the imports from the continental ports of
Europe, within that period, comprise a fair quantity of Wheat,
and a limited supply of other Grain.
Although at our mat ket this morning there was a good fair
demand for Wheat, it was hardly so lively as on Friday ;
however, a further improvement took place in prices, which
fluctuated from 2d. to 3d., and in some cases 3,1. to 4d. advance
per 7011). upon the rates of this day week. American flour met
a very good inquiry at a rise of Is. to Is. 6d. per barrel.
Barley and Malt unvaried.
Beans were 6d. per qr. higher; and Pease remained without
improvement. - - . - -

oats, upon a tolerably free sale, advanced lid. to 2d. per
43Ibs. ; and Oatmeal was Is. per load dearer.
Indian was 3s. per qr. dearer for yellow, and 2s. 6d. for
white, than on Tuesday last. Corn Meal 6d. per brl. higher.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 21

We have had a steady business during the week at full, and
for some articles, rather improving prices. At Wakefield, yes-
terday, some advance was realized upon Wheat, whilst at Li-
verpool, oppressed as that market is by the stock of American
Flour, the prices of the early part of the week for Wheat and
Flour were nct supported. This has its effect upon us to-day,
and whilst Wheat cannot be bought so low as last week by
about 2d. per bushel, It is difficult to realize any advance upon
Flour. Oats are 2d. per bushel, Oatmeal ls. per load, Egyptian

Beans Is. to 25., and Indian Corn Is. per qr. higher.-6ther
articles steady at late prices.
