LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH la

The sales on Thursday were 2000 bags; Friday, 4000;
2500 ; Monday, 3500; Tuesday, 1500 ; and to-day, 3000. The
business done since last week has been very limited. The market
continues dull, and the lower qualities of American are a shade
lower in price; Egyptian are rather higher; other descriptions re-
main without change. The import of the week is large, amounting
to 66,305 bags.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MARCH 17.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
After nearly four weeks of easterly winds, a change has occurred
since Tuesday last, which, during the past week, has admitted an
immense number of vessels into this port from all quarters of the
world (nearly 400.) Of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland.
coastways, and from the continents of Europe and America, the
arrivals have been very considerable. Last quoted prices have ge-
nerally been steadily demanded, but sales have been very languid,
and only to a very small extent, and a trivial decline has been sub-
mitted to on almost every article in the Corn trade, here, on Friday,
and in our country markets, except perhaps on the finest qualities
of old British and free Foreign Wheat, which are very scarce.
The only alteration in the duties on Grain Irons Foreign ports
since Friday, is an increase of Is 6d per quarter on Peas ; it is very
likely a decline in the duty on Wheat of Is per quarter, and on
Flour of lid per barrel, will occur next Friday ; a considerabie por-
tion of the Flour recently arrived from America, has changed hands
on the passage, at 30s to 315 per barrel; and also some part of the
Wheat from foreign ports at about 7s pd to 85 3d per 701 b in bond,
though there has been a dull sale for such lying here, in bond, on
about the same terms, or free at our quotations. The chief part of
the Wheat and Flour, Oats, Beans, and Peas, is going into bond for
the present. lb
At this day's market sales of every article were effected to a
moderate extent; but in consequence of the very large supplies,
decline in London yesterday, and a continuance of very tine and
seasonable weather, a reduction of 3d to 4d per 701 b on Wheat, id
to Id per 451 b on Oats. Is per quarter or: Malt and Barley, Is per
quarter on Beans and Peas, and tid to Is per barrel and per sack on
Flour and Oatmeal was submitted to.
