LIVERPOOL C+)'I•TON MARKET, FRB. 8.
There has been a pretty regular demand since our last. The sales
yesterday were 3,000 bags. and to-day they are 2,500. The market
has closed quietly. ,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 6.
We may almost repeat our last Circular of the 30th ult. on thateven-
ing the frost recurred, and has continued to this day, with increased
severity, without any snow, the slight covering of which disappeared
by the thaw of the 29th ult. of course the 'impediments to our coin-
munication with the country by water are more than ever increased ;
—the winds have also continued easterly, but the imports by the steam
ships have been to a fair extent, particularly of Flour and Oatmeal ;
and the demand for every article in the Corn Trade being restricted
to immediate wants, sales have been very trivial at barely the prices
last quoted. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign
ports since Friday, is an increase of is 6d per quarter on Pease ;—some
few sales have been made of bonded Grain and Flour, but no altera-
tion in prices can be noted, except on extra superfine llamburgh Flour
some small sales of which have been made at is per barrel higher. At
this day's market there was but a thin attendance, and with the pros-
pect of a continuance of frost, the demand was very limited, at a de-,
cline of Id e 2d per 'Wilts on Wheat, Id e Id per 4:ilbs on Oats, about
Is per quarter on Malt, Barley, Beans and Pease, 6d per 2 tOlbs on Oat-
meal, and Is per 280Ibs on Flour; the finer descriptions of British
Wheat and Flour are held at our last quotations.

LIVERPOOL CATXLE MARKET, FEB. 5.
We have had an exceeding large show of Beasts at market to-day,
the greatest we have experienced for several weeks. During the past
fortnight the butchering business has been very inactive, which has
made buyers very careful of laying in any stock, but rrom the great
increase in the supplies this week, Beef has been a shade less in price,
and many country buyers being present, it has been rather a brisk
market. The supply of Sheep has also been moderately large for the
season of the year, but we cannot note any alteration In price from
our last week's quotations. Good Beef sold readily at from 5d to siel •,
middling and ordinary quality, 4fd per lb. Large Wether Sheep sold
without difficulty at 7d per lb ; smaller size. 6id ; inferior quality and
Ewes, 6d to 6fd. Notwithstanding the market has been considered a
brisk one, from the great increase in number, there have been a few
of both Beasts and Sheep left unsold at the close of it. Number of
Beasts at market, 1520 ; Sheep, 8857.

LIVKIRPOOL PROVISION MA RK ET. FEB. 8.
The weather has assumed a mild and vernal appearance and charac-
ter,which are quite refreshing after the intense and distressing severity
to which we have been subject for the last three weeks. The thaw is
rapid and complete ;—nevertheless fully a week must elapse before the
internal means of transit by canal will be opened out.—We have been
very quiet in the Butter market for the last few days, but lower rates
have not been very generally submitted to; neither, indeed. are they
soon anticipated, at least to any important extent. We think there
is a better feeiing amongst holders of Pickled Butter.—The stock of
barreled Provisions is in a few hands, and prices likely to be supported
throughout the season.—Considerable activity is noticeable in Bacon,
and the supply at market inconsiderable.— Hams and Lard both scarce
and very saleable.

LONDON CORN EXHANGE. Fk.B. 7.
Since Monday a few vessels laden with Grain have arrived, and as a
rapid thaw commenced during the night, we may hope that business
will soon resume its usual course. At to-day's market there was a
very thin attendance of.buyers, and the transactions in every descrip-
tion of Grain were of a very limited character ; pric es, however, have
undergone no alteration.

LONDON COLONIAL MARKET, FEB. 6.
Soaps.—This afternoon there was little activity in the market
which may chiefly be attributed to the navigation : both grocers and
refiners purchasing sparingly, and the purchases, including the public
sales, amount to only 550 hhds and tees; but prices remain very firm,
and, in some instances, a slight advance was obtained on Friday's
rates for brown descriptions. 133 hhds, 8 tees Barbadoes, at public
sale, went at fully former rates, middling 64s to 64s 6d. good 65s to Us,
fine 66s 6d to 67s 6d per cwt.
FORRION.—The state of the navigation still occasions a dull market
for all descriptions.
MOLASSES.—West Indies continues on the decline; the purchases
since our last have been 220 puns, at a reduction on former rates of Is,
3ls to 32s accepted for middling and good Demerara, and 29s for fair
Berbice.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind:
Ceylun.and British Plantation was much wanted privately, but busi-
ness to any extent was prevented by the small quantity at market ;
the few sales effected were at rather stiffer prices.
