LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCI

The market during the early part of the week exhibited great
dulness, purchasers taking daily a very limited quantity. The
Europa's accounts representing the receipts into the ports of
the United States to be greater than was generally expected,
holders of American evinced much disposition to realize, and
submitted to a decline of id. per lb. Since the receipt of the
late accounts from India and China, which are of a more fa-
vourable character, both politically and commercially, the
market assumed a firmer appearance, and closes at a reduction
of ■ot more than id. upon the prices current this day week;
but the decline during the fortnight is nearly d. per lb. Bra-
zil, Egyptian, and Surat remain without material change.
Speculators have taken 2570 American, and exporters 3720
American, 100 Pernambuco, and 10 Bahia.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 24

The business done here in every article is still confined to
sales for consumption, and prices have varied little during the
week from those of our last. The concession in the price of
American Flour, which has been submitted to at Liverpool,las
induced a considerable demand, and a beginning is made in
the distribution of the stock which has weighed so heavily on
that market. Botn there and at Wakefield yesterday more
firmness was observable; and the same may be said of our
market to-day. There is, however, no point calling for parti-
cular notice, and with the exception of English Beans, which
are Is. per quarter lower, we do not alter the quotations of our
last.
