LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Mancit 25.
The sales on Thursday last were 3000 bags; Friday 4000; Satur-
day 2500 ; Monday 5000 ; Tuesday 1500 ; and to-day 4500. There
has been a fair demand since last week ; the trade has taken more
freely the last few days than for some time past ; the desire to sell
as soon as landed is very general, and which affords buyers an ad-
vantage in respect of choice. Prices of all descriptions remain
with little or no variation from our former quotations. The import
of the week amounts to 26,067 bags.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAncx 26.
There has been a fleeting gleam of brightness in our Butter
market during the last day or two, prices having become steady in
consequence of the severity of the weather. Belfast Butter we
quote 100 s to 105%; Coleraine and Ballymoney 95% to gas ; Kilken-
ny and Carlow 94s to 104 s; Newry 90s to 94s ; Berry 90s to Isom.
Pickled Butter is very dull at Os to 975, Beef has advanced fully
5s per tee. and Pork held for more money. The holders of Bacon
ask is per cwt. higher rates, and they are partially acceded to.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MARCH 24.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
Although the winds have been only partially favourable since
Tuesday last, the arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ire-
land, coastways, and from foreign ports, have been rather con-
siderablet and, added to those of the preceding week, have greatly
exceeded the demand. Rides have been effected only to a v cry
moderate extent of Wheat, at a decline of about 26 to 3d per 7011 i ;
of Oats at ad to Id per 451 b. ; of all other Grain, and of Flour and
Oatmeal, at a small reduction, but hardly sufficient to alter last
quotations..
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has receded to 20s 8d per
quarter, on Flour to 12s 5d per barrel, and on Beans to gs 6d per
quarter since Friday last ; on other Grain there is no alteration ;
some parcel::: of American Flour in bond'here, and on the passage,
have round purchasers at 3us, and 'for export at 3us 6d per barrel;
Oats also in bond for export at 38 gd to 4s ad per 451 b.
The weather has continued very favourable for all agricultural
operations : very dry, but perhaps rather too severely cold. We
have had but little or no rain in this district during the last six weeks.
At this day's market there was a fair attendance, and sales of
Grain effected to a moderate extent, at about the decline above
mentioned ; and for Flour in bond and free, and for Oatmeal, about
6d decline was submitted to.
