LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 4,

In the early part of the week the demand continued extensive, and
sales were made at an advance of ad per lb in American, and at full
prices for all other descriptions ; but for the last two drys a more
general disposition to sell has been evinced, and the little advantage
gained by holders has again been conceded to the buyers, leaving the
quotations without any material variation from those of Friday last.
Of 2800 Surat and 300 Demerara and Berhice offered by auction to-day,
1330 Surat and 210 Demerara and Berhice were sold, at Ad per lb decline
upon the fair to good qualities of Surat. Speculators have taken 7300
American, and exporters 1250 American and 350 Surat. There were
forwarded into the country unsold last month, 3150 American, 800 Per-
nambuco and 150 Egyptian.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AIAY 5.
Except of Oatmeal, the arrivals of which amount to upwards of 8000
loads, we have this week had a moderate importation of home produce
for our Corn market. From foreign ports there have arrived 5000
quarters of Wheat and about 11,090 barrels of Flour, 1200 of the latter
from Calcutta. The favourable change for vegetation which has taken
place in the weather during the last few days has checked the buoyancy
of the Wheat market, but the advanced r .tes noted on Tuesday have
been maintained, fine Irish red reaching 9s 3d and English 9s 9d per
sOlhs.—Oats may he considered to have sustained the improved value
of that day, 3s 3,1 being demanded for the best Irish and 3s Id to 3s 2cl
per 451bs for fair mealing qualities, but the amount of business has
been limited.—Some parsels of Oatmeal have changed hands, onspeculation, at 23s 6d to 25s 9,1 indeed, 26s per 2401bs has been
ob-
tained for choice Irish in anti facture.—Flour has met a good sale at an
advance of 2s per sack on the quotations of this day se'imight : extra
marks of Irish have brought 53s Per 28 lbs.—Barley. Beans, and Peas
as last noted.—About 3000 quarters of bonded Wheat, Baltic red, have
changed hands at 6s per 701hs, and a few hundred barrels of superfine
sweet Flour at 25s per barrel.
BANQUET TO SIR Roam EL —At the banquet to be
given by the conservatives members of the House of Commons
to Sir itohert Peel, on the 12th instant, at Merchant Tailors'
Hall, it is expected that of the 311 members who have inserted
their names in the list of hosts, 301) will be present personally to
take part in the festival. The Alotquis of Chandos is appointed
chairman, and the Hon. Wm. S. Lascelles vice chairman.
We understand that some of the most distinguished members
of the House of Lords, the Duke of Wellington taking the lead,
intimated their wish to be included in the list of hosts, but this
was felt to be wholly incompatible with the principle upon
which the entertainment had been suggested and arranged.
