LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 2

Our market is as quiet and dull as it can be, and the sales
to-day will not exceed 2,000 bales of all descriptionQ, at simi-
lar prices to yesterday's. Few buyers attended the public
sale of Surats, and out of 2580 bales offered only 250 were
sold, at id. per lb. below previous business by private.
The sales of the week are 18,700 bales, of which 1,700 bales
of American are placed to speculation account, and 1,300 of
various descriptions for export. There was also forwarded
into the interior unsold last month 1020 bales. We quote
the prices of all descriptions id. to id. lower this week, with
a flat and heayy market at the decline.

COTTON

MARKET, APRIL 3

At the commencement of the week the market was firm, with
some speculative inquiry ; but since the arrival of the Britannia
steamer on Wednesday, Speculators have generally suspended their
operations ; the Manchester Trade being still depressed, and the
working short time having partially commenced, though to a
limited extent, the demand irom Spinners has been on a moderate
scale. The prices generally may be considered lid lower than, on
Friday last ; 2586 Surat were offered by auction to-day, of which
240 sold, at the above decline. 1;00 American have been taken on
speculation, ;00 American, 400 La Guayra and 200 Surat far Export.
There have been forwarded into the country unsold during the
past month 870 American, 100 Pernambuco and 288 Surat.

MONDAY EVENING.
'We have nothing particularly to report of our market than that
the same inactivity still characterizes it as for the last fortnight.
The demand is very limited, and consequently buyers continue to
have the advantage of daily concessions, which are made in a flat
market, even when our quotations remain nominally the same.
The quantity sold on Saturday was 2 oou bales, and to-day we write
upon 200 ti to 2500 of all descriptions to the trade.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, ArniL 5

There is a great scarcity of Fine Butter, and such, commands a
long price,—the finest Belfast is well worth 105. On the other
hand, inferior qualities are little asked for, and considerable
anxiety exists on the part of holders to close sales, Now grass
Butter may be shortly expected to make its appearance in quantity;
such is the splendid vegetation weather which we now so
happily experience. Holders of Beef and Pork appear more in-
clined to meet purchasers. (Accounts from America being more
pacific,) and prices may be quoted a shade lower.
