LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET.—THis DAY.

Our Share market is firm this morning, with a preponderance
of buyers ; but stock being scarce to supply the demand, a very
small bUsiness has been done. The following are the prices
quoted :—Leeds sths, 3i d ; West Ridings, d; Sheffield pre-
ference, 11 ; Oswestry and Chester, 62 d; Dover No. 2, 14 d ;
Dutch Rhenish, 6i d; Royal Assurance, 2p. Many of our
local stocks are much asked for, and more business than usua
has been done in them during the last few days—in the Gast
Bank, and Insurance shares.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tms DAY.

At this day's market there was a fair general retail demand
for Wheat, at fully 2J. per 70;b. advance upon the week's quo-
tations. _ _

Flour has found a steady but not large sale, at an average
improvement of 6d. per barrel.
Grinding Barley and Oats sell more readily, but without im-
provement in value. Irish Oatmeal is very dull, and 6d. to
Is. per load cheaper, whilst several thousand barrels of the
Canadian import has been taken for Ireland at 225. to 225. 6d.
per 2401b5.
Indian Corn was in tolerable request, at 335. 6d. to 345. for
both white and yellow.

TRADE IN LIVERPOOL.

EXCHANGE NEWS-ROOM, MONDAY.

Little has transpired during the past week materially
influencing our commercial operations. We have still a
large demand for Cotton ; in fact, the consumption of this
article seems to be the ne plus ultra of legislation for
which everything else must give way. Meanwhile Liver-
pool has little cause to complain. Blessed with a geogra-
phical position as a trading community, which enables us
to pass unscathed through a period fraught with danger
to many less favoured localities, whether our exports
or imports are in excess, we are the greatest thoroughfare
for commercial transit between England and the indus-
trious, peaceful continent of the West. Whilst in the in-
terior provinces, the withdrawal of protection has pros-
trated many lately-thriving branches of industry, and on
the western sea-board the Danish blockade has turned her
crowded ports into wildernesses, ( Hull, for instance, which
is suffering severely from the stoppage of German traffic,)—
we find the docks of Liverpool, like ant-hills, moving
with busy life. Manchester and other manufacturing
towns may doubtless participate for a season in this pros-
perity ; and when we allude in this column to the vigour
or depression which may pervade those departments of
trade in which Liverpool is especially interested, we wish
to he clearly understood as neither singing peans of
triumph for the free traders in the one instance, or funereal
dirges in the other. We report things precisely as we
find them, and as far as possible assign reasons for what
we so report; but we think it possible, nevertheless, for
Liverpool and the circumjacent districts to be in a most
prosperous present state,—whether this may be perma-
nent or not, is a problem the solution of which time can
only supply,—while other and large• communities are
plunged in deep and irretrievable distress. Thus much
we have said, in order that we may not be misconstrued,
and that when we record the prosperity with which we
have to do, we must not be understood as denying the
disaster which may not come within the province of this
article to enlarge upon.
Our Share Market has not developed any new feature
this week ; prices are almost unchanged, and there has
been about the usual amount of business daily. The first
report of the York and North Midland investigators has
been issued, which is not unfavourably thought of. The
stock has advanced 2 per cent. to-day. tondon Stock
closes to-day 131 3 ; Do. new i-shares, 34 p; Midland,
66 7; Do.l-shares. 121 d • Lancashire and Yorkshire
fifths, 3,1 d; Do. £32's, 64 d; Do. preference, 124; Do.
L'pool and Bury, 101 d ; L'pool and Southport, 3 18/9 d;
Birkenhead £22's, 84, d; Sheffield preference, 114; York
and N. Midland, 30; Dover No. 4's, 64; L'pool Insu-
rance, 3 p ; Royal Assurance, 2 41/3 p.
We have rather more enquiry for Sugar, and a board of
Antigua was sold to-day at 375. @ 415., which is some-
what dearer: at this sale, in the lower descriptions, mer-
chants unquestionably got the advantage of the ls. reduc-
tion of duty. Molasses still continue to arrive freely. and
purchasers seem disinclined to buy except at lower prices.
Nothing new in Rum. There is rather more enquiry for
Tea, and prices are looking up.
There is more doing in Iron. Bars are 2s. 6d. to ss.
higher—say £5 10s. f o b here, £5 in Wales. Scotch Pig
Iron 445. to 455., mixed numbers, at Glasgow.
Cotton has been very firm indeed to-day, sales 9,000 to
10,000 bales (2,000 on speculation), at extreme rates,
with a tendency to harden. The steamer is hourly ex-
pected, and her intelligence looked forward to with much
interest, as should the receipts have fallen off, or any fur-
ther discouraging accounts come to hand about the crops,
it will have a great effect upon this market. The mar-
ket was also very steady on Saturday, and 8000 bales were
sold, 6500 American, the remainder as follow :-500 Per-
nams (for export), 400 Maranhams at 41d. @ 5d., 200
Bahia at sd. to 51c1., and 400 Egyptian at 5-I{l. @ 64d.
The Wool market still continues very quiet, although
we have experienced a better demand than for some time
past. We have still a good inquiry for Foreign, but as there
is not a very good assortment in the market, transactions
have been limited. A few lots of Turkey, Peruvian, &c.,
have met with buyers at full rates. The London sales,
which commenced on the 3d instant, consist of about
30,000 bales Australian, which are progressing very fa-
vourably at firm prices. The imports for the week ending
7th July comprise 225 Foreign, 180 Irish, 22 Scotch, and
47 English.
There is a little more doing in Flour to-day, and holders
are asking rather more money than on Friday, in conse-
quence of the mills being short of water. Indian Corn
is rather easier, by reason of the accounts from Ireland,
which all report lower markets, resulting from the abun-
dance of vegetables, and the cheapness of bread. The
principal imports into Liverpool since Monday, up to
Saturday (inclusive,) comprise a moderate quantity of
Wheat, chiefly from the Mediterranean ; 27,586 brls.
Flour, from Canada and the States ; 24,623 qrs. Indian
Corn ; and 7,369 brls. of Oatmeal from Canada alone,
(which is an unusually large quantity of this article from
that source.)
There has been a much heavier business done in Ameri-
can Bacon this week at somewhat irregular prices. Messrs.
Black, Barnes and Whittingham state that there is still a
good demand, and holders of sound good meat are de-
cidedly firmer ' • Long Middles, of favourite cures, have
been sold at 36s to 40s ; fair quality 30s to 32s 6d. Short
Middles have gone off freely at 28s to 32s 6d, principally
for the Irish market. Hams, in dry salt, of middling
quality, brought 29s to 31s. A fair business bas been
done in Shoulders. Little doing in Beef. P.M. Pork,
of low quality, has been sold at 35s to 40s. One parcel
good grease Butter brought 38s, at auction, on Tuesday.
Little or nothing doing in Cheese. Lard continues
steady, the sales are 80 tons, chiefly at 34s per cwt.
Irish Butter is ls. to 2s. per cwt. cheaper to-day, at
which the market still rules dull. The imports for the
last week amount to 8,160 flskins, 1,231 crocks.

EDINBURGH.--VALUE OF A WOODEI! LEG.—On
Wednesday evening as a barouche, containing a tipsy
party, was being driven up the street by a tipsy driver, ,
the pole of the vehicle came against a tipsy man and
knocked him over. One of the wheels of the vehicle
.went over one of the man's legs, and snapped it asunder.
Luckily, the leg was a wooden one, so that its owner was
as entirely free from pain as if he bad been under the
influence of chloroform. He was, of course, so effectoally
disabled as to be unable:to walk home; but, we under-
stand, the driver of the barouche is to furnish the cripple
with a handsome new leg in lieu of the one he broke by
his carelessness.—North British Mail.
