LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 4.

The sales on Thursday last were 3500 bags ; Friday 5000 ; Satur•
day 2500; Monday 3000; Tuesday 2500; and to-day 3000. The
business done since last week has been very moderate, and the
market has been in a very quiet state. Prices remain without
change, last week's quotations being easily realized. The non-
arrival of Cotton, owing to the prevalence of easterly winds, has
caused stocks to decrease materially. The week's import amounts
to 4706 bags.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MARCH 3.
(From the Circular of 111:_essrs„ James Scott and Son.)

Owing to a continuance of easterly winds since last Tuesday,
che imports of Grain have again been very moderate, (though some
few arrivals have occurred from the southern ports coastways,)
and the demand has been equally so, but at fully the prices last
quoted for every article in the Corn trade, and on some parcels of
Wheat, of superior quality, a small advance was obtained here and
in the markets of Yorkshire for the past week.
The only alteration in the duties on Grain, from foreign ports,
since Friday, is an increase of Is 6d per quarter on Barley, Indian
Corn, and Buck Wheat. Some further parceis of Flour on the
passage from America, and also lying here, in bond, have changed
hands at 30s to 31s, and some small parcels for export at 31s 6d to
32s per barrel. There is some demand for Oat.; in bond, for ex-
port, at fully the prices quoted; but all other Grain, in bond, find
sales, as if free, allowing the duties.
Notwithstanding the advance in London yesterday of 2s per qr.
on English V*heat, proceeding chiefly from the improvement in
its quality by the dry frosty weather which continues to prevail,
we experienced but .a very limited demand at this day's market,
and a very thin attendance ; supporting, however, fully the prices
of this day week fcr every article in the Corn trade.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MARCH 5.
The Butter trade continues brisk, but the operations are entirely
speculative, consumers touching with extreme caution. Pickled
Buttez commands more attention, a few hundred firkins having
been purchased for shipment to South America.—No alteration
whatever either in price or demand for Beef and Pork.

FROM THE LONDON PRICES CURRENT,
MARCH 4, 1840.

The markets for West India, East India, and China produce are
buoyant, but the business actually transacted on 'Change this after-
noon, was not upon an extensive scale. The demand for Tea is
rather improving. Company's Congons were at 2E 8d to 2s aid per
lb for Cash, and 2s 8d to 2s 10d per lb for short prompts. Rather
above 7,000 bags of Saltpetre were publicly offered this afternoon,
and the prices realised for that part of it which was sold was, quality
considered, about the same as were previous!), obtained.
BALTIC PRODUCE.—The late movements in the Tallow Markets
are thus detailed in one of the monthly " Circulars " just issued
" From the commencement to the middle of February the price of
Tallow gradually advanced from 49s 6d to 5I s 9d per cwt. for de-
livery in February or March, or proportions in March and April.
The trade in the mean time bought freely for consumption. During
the latter part of the month there was not so much doing. either
for consumption or delivery on contract, the prices fluctuating be-
tween 51s and 525 per cwt." The quotations of Hemp and Flax
are at present considerably below what they were at this period of
last year. The stocks are abundant.
AMERICAN PROMCCE.—The market for Cotton is steady, but for
Tobacco it is very dull of late, the trade purchased more sparingly,
under the expectation, generally entertained, that prices will re-
cede still lower, especially as regards the middling samples. Fine
Tobaccos have not been subjected to a proportionate reduction, as
the stocks on hand are much reduced.

The sales of produce at St. Petersburg, on the 18th ult. were as
follows :—Yellow Candle Tallow. first quantity, 1600 casks at 34
5-7 roubles, for delivery in August, and at 35 3-7 roubles, for June.
Half clean Hemp had been sold at 20 roubles, for 4000 poods per
Berkowez, and for Cash.

At Dantzic, up to the 21st ult. freight to London had been taken
at 21s per loud of Fir Deals, and to Liverpool, is per quarter for
Wheat.
