LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, NOVEMBER 24.
The continued satisfactory reports from the manufacturing

districts have again led to a-very extensive demand throughout
the week, and an unusually large business has been transacted.
The middling and lower qualities of American have further im-
proved id. per lb., whilst fair descriptions and upwards are
unchanged, and comparatively neglected. A large business
has been done in Brazil ; Alaranhani and Maceio are id. dearer;
Pernambuco is without alteration. The lower qualities of Su-
rat have also advanced td. per lb., and been in general request.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE. NOVEMBER 25

Large foreign arrivals are met by an inadequate demand, and
although lower prices would have been submitted to, the busi-
ness done during the week has been upon a contracted scale.
The same may be said of the Liverpool and Wakefield mar►cets
yesterday. At our Exchange to-day there is nothing doing in
any article to call for observation. We reduce our quotations
for Wheat 4d. and Oats id. per bushel; Flour fully 2s. per sack.
and Oatmeal 6d. per load. In other articles there is no varia-
tion from the rates of our last.
