LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 14

The week opened with some revival of demand, the trade
and speculators buying rather more freely, and id. was oh-

arrival of the packet from America, bringing accounts of con-
tinuance of fine weather, and some increase in the estimates
of the crop. The trade has since shown no disposition to pur-
chase beyond their immediate wants, and speculators have be-
come inactive ; in the mean time the market is freely supplied
at the quotations, which remain with little change from last
week, exhibiting a decline of id. per lb. for the fortnight,
Brazil and the common qualities of Egyptian and Surat are

rather lower. Taken on speculation, 7,2iiiAmerican' 100 Per-
nam, 30 Maranham and 600 Surat, and for export, 50 American
and 40 Egyptian.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. DEC. 11

Of all kinds of produce, either coastwise or from Ireland, the
receipts into this port during the past week continue to de-
crease and prove indifferently. light ; except, Flour, of which we
report a good supply; exclusive of about 10.689 brig. of Flour
from the United States and Canada, with a moderate quantity
of Indian Corn, chiefly from the former source, the imports
from abroad are trivial, containing merely 500 qrs. of the latter
article, and 1,426 sacks of Flour from Europe.
In several of the agricultural districts and large consuming
towns of this country at the close of last week, the corn trade
on the part of holders appeared rather more steadfast •, in a
few solitary cases, however, Wheat alone realized a slight im-
provement, although a more general opinion seemed to prevail
that from the existing very low and unremunerating range of
prices, any further decline of moment was improbable.
At the same time the Irish markets, even with limited sup-
plies from the growers, are in general reported to be languid.
Influenced by accounts previously received from this side of
the water, the value of most kinds of native grain, at several
of the shipping ports, is quoted rather lower. By recent ad-
vices thence, potatoes are rarely alluded to, from which it may
be reasonably inferred that the crop has proved more favourable
than it indicated early in the season, at least some of our
friends express that opinion.
Influenced by the stand made in London yesterday, the
Wheat trade at our market this morning was firm, to which
the buyers did not freely respond, and a moderate extent of
business only was transacted in English and Foreign Wheats
on the terms of this day week, whilst a few prime samples of
Irish, being scarce, realised a slight amendment.
Choice marks of Flour were in some request, and remained
steady in value; but all inferior and doubtful kinds were
wholly unsaleable. _ _

Oats, from actual scarcity, were tile turn dearer; and Oat-
meal, on a moderate demand, maintained the rates of this day
week.

Indian Corn continued to meet a fair demand; and holders
being exceedingly firm, an advance of 6d. per qr. was at-
tained.

Barley was Is. per qr. cheaper, and Malt hardly supported
late prices.
In Beans and Pease little variation was apparent.

CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. J 4

Beyond several grain vessels yet to arrive, which sailed from
the Baltic before frost set in, further supplies of moment thence
or from the principal rivers in the north of Europe, now closed
by ice, cannot reach this country previously to the spring of
next year: many corn ships are also reported to be detained in
the Danube from the same cause, and no large importations an-
ticipated early from the south of Europe, our dependence du-
ring winter therefore must rest chiefly upon deliveries from
English growers, especially as Ireland, which will have less to
spare for export than usual, is already consuming its own pro-
duce extensively, and will require no small portion of Foreign
Wheat and Indian Corn until harvest. Moreover, although the
arrivals of Foreign Wheat have continued to flow liberally •into
London during autumn, a larger share of thozeimports is stated
to have been taken by millers than was apparent, and that the
remaining stock there is by no means oppressively heavy:
while the quantity of Wheat and Indian Corn in the granaries
of this place are in amount, but of most other articles very mo-
derate.—Under these circumstances, we hope the prices may
be such in the United States as to enable our American friends,
in the absence of supplies from the sources above-named, to
face this market with advantage.

With some rain in the early part of this week, the weather
since Tuesday has been severely cold, inclining to frost, but is
more temperate to-day.

The arrivals into this port, coastwise and from Ireland, since
Monday last, are trivial, and those from abroad rather small,
except Wheat, of which we have to report a moderate supply
from the United States and Europe.

In the English markets this week no important change ap-
pears to have occurred ie the value of any article of the corn
trade ; as regards Wheat, however, a .firmer feeling has pre-
vailed, evincing a tendency rather upwards ; whilst those in
Ireland have remained in general somewhat inactive, but with-
out material variation in prices.
At this day's market there was an improved demand for all
good .qualities of English and foreign Wheats, and with evi-
dently increased confidence in the trade, our last quotations
were not only fully maintained, but some fine parcels of the
latter were held on rather higher terms, the best dry samples
of Irish new realizinF an advance of Id. to 2d. per 701bs.—Irish
Flour, notwithstanding, was unsaleable, except the choicest
well-known marks of extra superfine, •and even these moved off
very slowly at late prices, whilst States and Canadian, though
not taken freely to-day, remained steady in value, and to supe-
rior descriptions of French Flour similar remarks are applica-
ble.
Barley and Malt, upon a moderate demand, supported pre-
vious rates ; and Beans, as well as Pease, attended with some-
what more inquiry, were the turn dearer.—Oats. being still ex-
tremely scarce, good mealing kinds must be noted quite as high
as on Tuesday, and Oatmeal, commanding a ready sale, im-
proved 3d. per load.
Importers of Indian Corn tenaciously held out for a further
advance of 6d. per qr., which, giving a check to the demand,
little business was transacted at the amendment.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, DEc. 15

The trade during the week has been characterised by consi-
derable firmness, and moderate transactions have taken place
in each article, at fully last Saturday's rates. At our market
to-day, Wheat of good, well-conditioned quality, is held with
confidence. There are buyers of Flour at the late low prices,
to which sellers are not generally inclined to submit. Oats and
Oatmeal steady, but the sale for both is slow. New Beans Is.
per quarter lower. In other articles no variation.
