LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Tnts DAY

The inquiry for Cotton to-day has been :inore exten-
sive, and several speculators are operating, so that we
cannot correctly get at the amount of business done; at
present we may safely write upon 4,000 bales, at very
full prices, fully one-half of it on speculation.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Tins DAY

<From Messrs. R. Makin Sr Sons' Circular.)

Prevented by adverse winds, the imports of all Grain
up to Friday were very inconsiderable, and though subse-
quently increased from the English Coast and Ireland,
are still collectively but moderate : from the latter source,
however, we have to note a further good supply of Oat-
meal and Flour; the arrivals of Foreign produce during
the week comprising 2403 qrs. of Wheat from the South
of Europe, including 993 qrs. Wheat, with 1070 barrels
of Flour from the United States, and 230 qrs. of Pease
from Danzig.

In consequence of the indifferent state of the Wheat
trade in the leading markets of this district towards the
close of last week, and a slender attendance of buyers
from the country at our Corn Exchange today, we have
to report a very limited sale for Wheat of all descriptions ;
and though fine qualities continued to be held at our last
quotations, the ordinary runs of English, Irish, and
Foreign were rather depressed in value. Flour remained
in the same languid state as on Friday, and was generally
the turn cheaper.

Barley and Malt, being nearly without enquiry, were
each Is. per qr. lower. Beans and Pease upon a moderate
retail demand, fully supported the rates of this day se'n-
night.

Oats moving sparingly into the hands of consumers,
receded id. per 451 b. ; and Oatmeal, at a decline of 3d.
to 6d. per 2401 b., was extremely difficult to sell.
