HULL CORN MARKET, SEPT.

COTTON MARKET, SfiPTEMBER 9

'Tis very difficult to give a faithful sketch of our Cot-ton market,
the most prominent feature is great anxiety on the part of holders
to effect sales, and a corresponding determination on the part of
consumers to purchase only for their immediate wants. This state
of things necessarily makes au uneven market in prices, and any
attempt to quote their variations is almost impossible. The un-
settled weather has a compressing tendency, and seems to bind
us in a chain of dark forebodings, which the most prosperous and
secure are fearful of anticipating. Meanwhile the demand is mo-
derate, and we estimate the business of yesterday and to-day at
about 5000 to 5500 bales, a few hundred of them on speculation.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 4.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott .5r Son.)
Since Tuesday last the imports of Oats and Oatmeal from Ire-
land, of Malt and of Foreign Wheat Coastways, and of Wheat,
Flour, and Semis from Foreign ports have been pretty considerable,
and the weather having been very fine up to Tuesday afternoon,
the demand continued very languid, though a decline of 4d to (id
per 70 lbs on Wheat, of 2d to 3d per 45 lbs on Oats, is per sack and
per barrel on Flour and Oatmeal, was submitted to; and although
it rained very heavily on Friday and Saturday, it has made very
little difference in our Corn markets, further than renewing the
confidence of the holders, who demanded, and in some instances
obtained, a small increase on the above-mentioned decline. The
quantity of Canadian Wheat and Flour recently released, and the
almost certainty that all Foreign Wheat and Flour will also be
released in another fortnight, deter the millers and dealers from
buying beyond their immediate wants ; and, further than impeding
harvest, it is not believed that much injury has yet been done to
the crops in this district, of which it is estimated that only about
one-third is as yet secured.

The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was further reduced on
Friday last to 6s 8d per quarter, and to as oid per barrel, and there
is every probability of these two articles being admissible at the
lowest, duties next week or the one ensuing : the duty on Barley,
Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat, is also reduced Is 6d per quarter.
All bonded Grain and Flour, of course, still withheld from imme-
diate consumption, and there is little or no demand for exportation.
At this day's market, notwithstanding a full attendance, and a
very bad day of heavy rain and unseasonably cold weather, the de-
mand was very much paralized by the certainty of all bonded
Wheat and Flour being immediately released for home use; sales
were made only to a very small amount of Wheat and Flour, free
and in bond, at fully the decline above mentioned, and every ar-
ticle in the Corn trade participated in this depression.
