LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 18.

There is only a very moderate enquiry for Cotton to-day ;
the sales may be estimated at 1,500 to 2,000 bales at steady
going market prices.

COTTON MARKET, APRIL 20.
The demand for Cotton is again very much on the increase ; yes.
terday 5000 bales were sold, and to day 7000 bales, nearly all to the
trade ; prices are without change. The market is well supplied.
Buyers have excellent choice, but cannot get on at easier rates than
at those current last week.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 19.
We had a very prime show of Beasts and Sheep to-day—more
indeed than found buyers. The market was dull, and prices further
receded id i 9, lb.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
April 20, 1843.
We have had an extensive demand for Potatoes during the past
seven days, which have met with a brisk demand, both from our
town retail trade, and country dealers, although at very low prices ;
the best descriptions of Cups scarcely realizing Is, while inferior
runs have been selling from 10d to 11 d ; Pinkeyes 12d to 13d; seed-
lings 14d to 16d per galb.
There has been a heavy arrival of Turnips, the greater part of
which have arrived in bad condition—the best Sweeds have com-
manded 13s to 18s per ton.
Our local markets are well supplied with all descriptions of
agricultural produce, taking the advanced season of the year into
account ; in fact no scarcity need be feared in any article of local
produce.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 18.
Notwithstanding our fresh supplies upon the week being
generally of a very limited character, and the expectations of
improvement from the better tone of the country markets as
noticed above, the return of exceedingly fine weather and the
depression stated in London yesterday have caused a very dull
trade at our market to-day, the few sales of wheat being effected
with difficulty, at the currency of this day week for the best de-
scriptions, whilst middling and inferior qualities of both
Foreign and Irish must be noted Id. per 70Ibs. lower.
Flour was in tolerable retail demand without variation in
value.
The enquiry for Oats was very limited, though the scarcity
of fine samples enables holders to support full prices for
such, but Oatmeal was rather depressed below the rates of
Tuesday last, 20s. per 2401b5. being the highest now obtain-
able.

In other articles no change either as to demand or value.
No change took place in the duties on foreign produce at
he close of the week.
