LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 18

Though our cotton market has had even a quieter appear-
ance than usual on a Tuesday, we estimate the total amount
of business at 1,500 bales ; of which 4 to 500 are Surat ;
from 4id to 5/d, all to the trade.

COTTON MARKET, MAY 19

We have had an improved demand fin' Cotton to-day, which has
terminated in a very fair amount of business; the total sales being
4000 bales, of which 250 Americans, 400 Surats and 150 Pernams
are for exportation ; the rest is to the trade, Prices are without
alteration, though the tone of the market still remains flat.

COTTON MARKET, MAY
_2O

We have experienced a pretty general inquiry for Cotton to-day
from the trade, but the business transacted is only to a moderate
extent, owing most. probably to the dull state of trade at Man-
chester and the manufacturing districts. The total sales to-day
are 3000 bales, of which 100 Surats and 100 Americans have been
purchased for exportation, and the remainder by the trade. Prices
without material alteration, although in some instances they may
be considered rather in favour of the buyer

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 18.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6. Son.)
Since Tuesday 12,st the imports of Grain from Ireland and Coast-
ways have been very moderate; but from Foreign Ports, and of
Flour from America, they have been to a fair extent;—The Corn
Trade in this district has continued paralised during the past week,
by the dubious result of the proposed alterations in the Corn Laws,
though little or no alteration can be noticed in the prices of the
past week. The weather has hitherto been favourable, and the ap-
pearance of the crops sufficiently forward, fully a much so through.
out Scotland as in this distriei.
The duties payable on Grain from Foreign Ports remain the
same as last week, and duties have been paid only on small quan.
titles, as sales can be made free to the millers ;—a general want of
confidence in the passing of the 'Ministers' intended changes in the
Corn Laws prevents speculation in bonded Grain, of which quota-
tions remain nearly as last quoted.
At this (lay's market, there was rather more inquiry for Wheat
from our millers and dealers, who bought pretty freely for their
immediate wants, and in some instances for fine fresh parcels of
English and Foreign at an advance of Id to 2d per 7olb, but for
other qualities, and for almost every other article in the Corn trade,
the demand was very limited at about the prices quoted this day
week, excepting for Beans which were Is to 2s per quarter lower.
