COTTON MARKET, MAy 4.

We have had a very steady Cotton market the last two days, and
rather a large business done. Yesterday, the sales were estimated
at 7,000 bales, 2,900 of them on speculation, and 400 for export;
to-day, about 9,000, speculators taking 2,000, and exporters 1500.
The market closed very healthy, at the current rates of last week.

LIVERPOOL HAY_AND POTATOE MARKET,

We continue to receive a very plentiful supply of Potatoes from
all the of ual shipping ports, both in the Isle of Man, Scotland and
Ireland—for which there has been a steady demand both from our
town retail trade, and for reshipment into the interior, at about
the current rates of this day week; viz.—Cups 10d to 12d ; Pink-
eyes 11d to 13d ; Seedlings 13d to Itd per golb.
The supplies brought into our local markets by our neigbouring
farmers of all descriptions of produce, met with ready sale at the

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 2.
With contrary winds during the past few days-, the arrivals
of Grain and Flour into this port since Tuesday last have
been trivial, as well Coastwise as from Ireland; whilst of
Oatmeal by steamers we have to note a tolerable supply, but
no recent imports of these articles from abroad.
Stimulated by the slight indication of amendment in
Mark Lane, with the attendance of a moderate number of
buyers at our Corn Exchange to-day, all descriptions of
free Wheat at the opening of the market, were held with
somewhat increased confidence, and in the course of the
morning particular qualities of Foreign realised a small ad-
vance, but the millers, though mostly low in stock, bought
rather sparingly, and, after a few parcels were taken for Ire-
land, the trade appeared to close heavily at rates of this day
se'nnight. Of bonded Wheat, a few hundred quarters from
the Black Sea have been sold at 2s. 11d., and 110 qrs. of
Sicilian hard at 2s. 6d. per 70 lbs.
English, Irish, and Foreign Flour moved off slowly at our
last quotations.

Malting Barley met some enquiry, but none was left on
the market to answer the demand ; and grinding samples of
this grain, as also Malt, Beans, and Pease, continued in much
the same state as described last week.
