LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 18

The increased demand, as noticed in our circular of Monday, has
continued, and large business has been done to the extent of 20,000
bales : viz. Tuesday 5,000, Wednesday 10,000, and to-day 5,000, of
this quantity we place 4,700 American and 300 Surat to speculation
account, and 250 American for export. As regards prices we may
remark that in American descriptions below 7d, a full id advance
on last Friday's prices has been generally paid, and id '4l, lb'in the
better descriptions. Surat Cotton is more in demand. and may be
quoted a shade dearer. Consumers aro free buyers, and they find
the market pretty well supplied.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 16.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6r Son.)
The frost which prevailed so severely, as stated in our circular
last Tuesday, was succeeded on Thursday by a very rapid thaw,
which still continues uninterruptedly; and although the Wheat
lands and pastures are reported to have a very withered and un-
favourable aspect, having had very little covering of snow through-
out this district, during the late severe weather, from the infor-
mation of several intelligent farmers with whom we have convers-
ed, no decided injury to the Wheat crops is at present apprehended.
Though the winds have admitted only of partial arrivals coast-
ways from the South, so that our imports of Grain, Flour and
Oatmeal have been small during the past week ; the demand has
been pretty fair, the prices last quoted have been fully obtained,
and in some instances for Wheat and Oats a little exceded ; the
stocks of every kind of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal in this market
are now very much reduced.
The duty on Rye and Beans from foreign ports was increased
on Friday last is 6d per qr. on other Grain no alteration ; small
parcels of Italian wheat in bond have been taken on speculation at
3s sd, and of Odessa at ss, of Flour at 25s 6d and 26s per brl. and
of Pease at 35s to 36s per qr. for export, but the transactions have
been very small in bonded Grain.
At this day;s market, in consequence of an advance of Is per
qr. having occurred on Wheat in London yesterday, a similar ad-
vance was demanded here to-day, and obtained to a very moderate
extent; for all other articles we can note no alteration since this
day week.
