LIVERPOOL COMMERCIAL MARKET. OCT. 22.
The demand for Sugar continues to be almost suspended,
and prices are therefore altogether nominal. No sales of B. P.
worth notice, and in Bengal and Mauritius together only 1700
bags, at 355. 6d. to 378.6 d. per cwt. for the latter description.
150 cases 50 bags and barrels Brazil, 130 boxes brown and yellow
Havana, and 95 hhds. Porto Rico, have been disposed of during
the week at lower rates. The sales of Molasses are unimportant.
With the exception of 30 tierces fine Jamaica Coffee, nothing
worthy of notice is reported, and our quotations are entirely
nominal. 140 bags Para Cocoa sold at 335. per cwt. No sales
of Ginger, Pepper, or Pimento.
1000 bags Bombay Rice brought 10s., and 2300 bags Madras
7s. 6d. to 7s. 9d. per cwt., being a further decline in prices.
The business in Rum is confined to 50 casks Demerara, 33 per
cent. 0. P., at 2s. 10d. per gallon, being rather lower.
The extreme depression in business generally has extended
to the Tea trade, and it has been impossible to effect sales at
any thing approaching previous current rates.
For East India Drysaltery Articles the demand has continued
very limited, and the rates generally are uncertain. Small
sales of Saltpetre made, on rather lower terms, and very little
done in Nitrate of Soda.
Guano can only be disposed of in small parcels, barely sup-
porting previous rates.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. OCT. 22.
A variety of unfavourable circumstances, combined with the
stoppage of the Royal Bank of this town, very materially in-
creased the gloom and depression which previously existed.
The market has been in a most unsettled state throughout the
week i prices were very irregular, and the quotations for many
descriptions quite nominal. Forced sales for cash payment
were made yesterday at a decline of 2(1. for the current qualities
of American. The disposition of the Bank of England to afford
relief has, however, Oven much more confidence, a decidedly
improved feeling being manifest to-day, and with a large at•
tendance of buyers, prices have recovered Id. to Id. from the
extreme decline previously submitted to. Speculators have
taken 1900 American, and Exporters 2420 American.

• SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, Om. 20.
We were well supplied with stock to-day, but a good deal of
it of middling quality. Good Beef and Mutton ready sale and
without change in value, but inferior quite a drug, and to be
had at almost any figure.
