LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 16,

The news received per steamer on Monday produced a com-
plete panic in the market; and as this was succeeded b) other
circumstances influencing the feeling of holders, forced sales
were made on that and the following day, at rates quite id.
per lb. below the quotations of Friday last. This rapid decline
induced much more demand from the trade and exporters,
assisted partially by speculators, and prices now close at a
reduction of about id. per lb. upon American descriptions.
Brazil and Egyptian have also participated in the above de-
pression, and are irregular in price. Surat have partaken of
the general decline, and seedy in particular has been sold at
low and very irregular rates. Speculators have taken 5780
American, 600 Maranham, 20 Egyptian, and 1720 Surat ; and
exporters 3890 American, 100 Fermin', and 440 Surat.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Al AY 13.
Beyond a few parcels of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, and
a fair quantity of Alalt coastwise, the receipts thence into this
Port since Tuesday last are trivial. Of foreign W heat the arri-
vals of the week are also light, but are very amply compel.-
sated by a large accession of American at.d French Flour, with
a tolerable supply of Indian Corn and Beans ; the shipments
of the former to Ireland during the week being nearly equal to
the import.
At our market to-day there was a good attendance of town
and country millers, but not that lively sale for Wheat which
we had on Friday; the prices of this day week were, however,
fully maintained, and, upon the whole, a moderate amount of
business was transacted.

Flour, owing to the large Fupply, was bought rather more
cautiously by consumers, at late prices.

Beans and Pease rulf4l much the—same as on Friday, and
grinding Barley was the turn dearer, Malt barely supporting
previous rates. _

_
Oats, being scarce and in good request, fully maintained the
advance of Friday, and good new Oatmeal realised 245. per
load.

Indian Corn being in good demand, advanced further to-day,
and good American yellow must be noted 325. per 4801 b.
