GENERAL TRADE REPORT.

Exchange News-room. Monday.

Nothing else than a bad harvest, or a further accumu-
lation of continental disasters, can stop'the progress of
our present commercial activity, which, despite the
continuance of political convulsions for the lengthened
period of sixteen months, has now attained a height of
prosperity as regards Liverpool and those districts imme-
diately connected with it, particularly with respect to the
consumption of Cotton. greater than ever hitherto placed
on record. The first of these contingencies—a bad
harvest—recedes further from us daily. The least shadow
of gloom in our correspondence is so rarely perceptible,
and the expressions of confident hope so predominant,
that, backed by our personal investigations, we look
forward to a more than average yield of the various pro-
ducts of British husbandry. And touching the farther
embroilment of Europe, that seems rather improbable.
The arenas of warfare are becoming less numerous. The
republican enthusiasm is dying away in some parts, and
the combatants in others are evidently getting tired ; at
all events, some of the mighty ones are incapable of
knocking their lesser brethren down, as witness little
Rome maintaining its liberty, though surrounded by
hostile armies—and Hungary defying the imperial hosts
of Austria and the Czar. But, although added to the
Danish question, this still presents a lamentable picture,
the contests are now more national--more the competition
of races—and less intestinal, which latter always operate
more prejudicially on trade than any other. Keep the
fighting as much as possible from the capitals, and our
manufactures may have a chance. In fact, it is clear
that they must be finding their way largely into continen-
tal markets latterly, as otherwise we could not have made
so much without getting more into stock. The Woollen
and Worsted manufactures continue to be fully employed,
and a large consumption of Wool is going forward. The
Cotton trade is unprecedented. To-day, the advices from
America are considered highly favourable for holders, as
it is evident they will have little to part with for a length
of time, and the market has been excessively steady here,
prices having been obtained which were not attainable
last week, and the sales amounted to 8,000 bales, 2,000
of which were on speculation. We have given our views
on this branch at length elsewhere.
The Share-market closes weak this evening, the bears
having taken advantage of the absence of business to de-
press prices. There has, however, been rather more bu-
siness done during the last week, and 'prices have been
very steady. London Stock closes to-day 131-3; Mid-
land 68-9. The decline to-day has been chiefly in York
and North Midland and Midland £so's, in both of which
there is a large bear account open ; the former has fallen
from 34 to 28, the latter from 111 to 121 discount.
For the last two or three days there has been a deci-
dedly quiet sugar market, though very firm. The re-
duction in the duty of Is. takes place on the sth, and mer-
chants are holding for an advance, which the trade are un-
willing to give. Coffee continues in favour, and export
descriptions are very scarce. Molasses are still arriving
freely, and have a downward tendency. The comparative
deficiency of our stocks of Tea in the bonded warehouses
throughout the kingdom amounts to 7,000,000 lbs.,
and we have a firm market in consequence.
Indian Corn may be had to-day on rather easier terms
than on Friday, but other articles are steady in value.
The arrivals of Wheat, Flour, and Indian Corn are in-
creasing, whilst stocks are comparatively light.
There has been rather more business doing in Timber
latterly, although by no means exhibiting the animation
that we have been accustomed to expect at this season of
the year. There appears to be a deficiency of 8,234 tons
on this year's importation to present time.
There is nothing in the American advices to affect the
Provision market, and business is very quiet hero, with
little change. Hams, however, sell at an advance of ls.
on last week's prices. A parcel of 360 boxes new Cheese,
Per " Niagara," was withdrawn on Tuesday, after a few
lots had been sold at 30s. 6d. to 31s. 6d. ; the remainder
brought about the same figure by private. Irish Butter
is 2s. per cwt. cheaper to-day than on this day week.
The Iron prices have again given way. A fall of 10s.
per ton has been declared in Staffordshire, and Welch
Iron is selling at a similar reduction. Scotch Pig iron is
quoted at 435. to 445. for mixed numbers, but there is
hardly any thing doing in it.
The Wool market during the past week has exhibited a
firmer tone than for some time past, and the general
aspect of the trade is slightly improved. The London
sales of colonial, commencing to-day, will prove a pretty
good idea of the strength of the market ; and as the Ger-
man fairs report an advance of 30 to 40 per cent. upon
last year's prices, which were unduly depressed, it is ex-
pected that a tone of increased confidence will be imparted
to these sales.
