LIVERPOOL COTFON MARKET, APRIL 4.
Without any apparent cause, the improved tone of feeling
which pervaded the market towards the close of last week has
been succeeded by a state of dulness which has prevailed to a
greater or less extent throughout the present week, in the
course of which the advance of id. per lb. noticed in the for-
mer circular has been entirely lost. Brazil and Egyptian,
though in limited demand, have been tolerably steady, and
East In,la also is without change. For the Sea Island brought
forward by auction yesterday, the prices obtained for the low
and middle qualities. of which the sale principally consisted,
were id. per lb. lower, and a small proportion only found pur-
cha4ets ; out of 2656 white and 333 Stained offered, only 540
of the former, at 101 d. to 18id., anti 50 of the latter, at 4d. to
9d...were sold. The East India was withdrawn altogether, for
want of bidders. Speculators have taken 3000 American, 110
Pernam, and 1310 Surat. and Exporters 1850 American, 20 Per-
nam, 80 Egyptian, 750 Surat, and.soo Madras.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. APRIL I.
We have received into this port, during the week ending
yesterday, a tolerable supply of Irish Oats and Oatmeal, and
a moderate quantity of Barley and Malt coastwise, but of other
produce from either of those sources the arrivals are trivial:
trom abroad the import of grain is also light, being confined
merely to 2.200 qrs. of Odecsa Wheat, with 6,193 qrs. of Indian
Corn from America and Naples ; of States Flour, however, we
have to reportmearly 26,000 brls., and of French 2146 sacks.
Contrary to the expectations of holders, we bad rather a
slow, moderate demand for all descriptions of Wheat at our
market to-day, without the least change in prices from the
currency of this day se'nnight.
•
Precisely similar remarks are applicable to Flour,—States,
Canadian, and French being unaltered in value.
Maltin,, Barley was the turn dearer; in grinding samples
and Malt variation.

The general runs of English and Foreign Beans were heldon
quite as high terms as before; and Egyptians are noted 6d.
to is. per quarter higher than last week.
Oats in moderate request at our last quotations; and Oat-
meal moved off rather freely, at an advance of 6d per load.
Indian Corn in fair demand, and 6d. per qr. dearer.
