LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 9

A tremendous demand for Cotton again to-day, both from
the trade and speculators; the hitter have purchased about
7000 bales, the former about 3000, at very full prices, and
business is still progressing.

COTTON MARKET, MAY 11.
Since our last circular, the demand for Cotton has somewhat
abated. On Tuesday 10,000 bales were sold ; yesterday about the
same quantity ; up to two o'clock there was great activity, but
after that time a temporary lull was perceptible, and buyers or
speculators were not so keen as the previous day or two; they
have only taken 2000, and the trade 4000, making a total of 6000
bales—without any change iu prices, but with not quite so animated
a tone and feeling in the market.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 8.
We have to report a fair supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and
Suffolk. On the best white there was an advance of is; but this
improvement did not apply to red and secondary. Barley remains
at the same prices, and last week's currency was supported for
Peas and Beans. The Oat trade is fully as dear as last week.

SMITHFIELD, MAY 8.
The supply of Beasts large ; a great number having arrived from
Scotland, the trade was very dell at 2d per 81b. redaction. There
were plenty of buyers for Sheep at Friday's prices, the weather
being unfavourable. Lambs were sold at reduced prices. Calf
trade not so good, but few realised 4s 4d per 81b. Beet 2s 4d to
3s 10d, Mutton 2s 8d to 3s tid, Veal 30 6d to 48 6d, Pork 35 to 4s,
and Lamb 4s 60 to 50 Bd. By the quantities of 81bs. sinking the
offal. Live Cattle at market. Beasts 8022, Calves 107, Sheep and
Lambs 29,350, and Pigs 3:6.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, MAr 5.
At this day's market Wheat and Oats supported Tuesday's prices,
with a rather better demand for Oats than of late. White Wheat,
27s to sos 6d; millers' red, 245 to 28s td; Barley, 11s to 148;
Oats, Os to iOs ; Oatmeal gs to Ils ; and second Flour, ISs to 16s.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 9.
Excepting Malt, of which the supply coastwise is rather
liberal, the arrivals thence and from Ireland since this day
week are generally but light ; those of foreign produce, con-
sisting simply of 1022 qrs. of Wheat from Danzig, and 1003
barrels of Flour trom the American States.
Upon a more numerous meeting of home and country
buyers at this day's market than we have lately bad occasion
to notice, the Wheat trade at the commencement assumed a
firm aspect, and for good useful samples of Irish and Foreign
Wheat an improvement of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. was realised ;
but the advance being reluctantly paid, the transactions
were only moderate, and in the value of English we have
little or no change to note : the recent imports from the
Baltic, however, we may observe, were held at such prices
as could not be obtained.

English and iri;Cilour, attended with a tolerably fair
sale, fully supported our last currency, and prime brands
of foreign were rather dearer.
For Malting Barley the demand appears to have ceased,
but of grinding qualities some small parcels have been cleared
at former prices ; and Malt continued to meet occasional en-
quiries at our last quotations.
Beans and Pease remained nominally unvaried.
Good Oats, being still very scarce, and in moderate de.
mend, improved Id. per 45 lbs : and Oatmeal was more rea-
dily saleable on the terms of last week.
