With increasing stocks, holders of Ir su Butter are
desirous to sell, and a further reduction has been con-
ceded of ls. to 2s. on best qualities, and 29. to 3s. on
middling and inferior; the latter kinds being very unsale-
able.—Both old and new Bacon met a better enquiry ;
but Lard continues dull.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts have
again improved since our last, from Manchester particu-

y. ot which we make esi

mention,

fluencing our Corrom market here, which has firmly
" held its own " during the week, and was very animated
on Saturday, when a large trade demand was experienced,
and the middling qualities of American continued to
stiffen in price : the sales were 8000 bales. comprising
7150 Amerif:an, 50 Pernam at sd.' 300 Maranham at 311
4id., 100 Egyptian at sd. 60., and 400 Surat at 21d. 34-d.
To-DAY another 8000 bale.; have been disposed of-6350

American, 200 Pernam at sd. 54-d., 400 Maranham at
44 id., 50 Egyptian at 51-d., and 1000 Surat at 2&d. nd,

The market has been again firm ; middling American and
Surat (the latter owing to damage to the crop having
caused a large advance in India) both rather dearer.—

The particulars respecting the exports and receipts at the
ports of the United States will be found under our Arne-

titan intelligence.
Our CORN trade has exhibited no new feature since
Friday ; prices remain the same, and speculations as to
the probable complexion of to-morrow's market are very
conflicting. Certain it is, that the total amount of arri-
vals within the last two or three days, and up to the time
of commencing business operations in the morning, will
be very considerable, which, added to the decline reported
in all the English markets during. the past week, may
render it difficult to maintain the reduced rates of Friday,
if holders be at all pressing into the market. Some ex-
ception may be made with reference to Indian Corn ; the
stocks in Ireland are reported very low, with an increased
demand (except at Belfast), and an advance in price, par-
ticularly at Cork, where a rise took place on Friday last
of about ss. per ton over the rates obtained in the early
part of the week. The imports into Liverpool reported
on Friday and Saturday comprise:—Wheat, from Ireland
1217 qrs., coastwise 451, Europe 4991 ; Barley, Ireland
226 qrs., coastwise 549, Europe 200; Malt, Ireland 30
qrs., coastwise 172; Oats, Ireland 4587 qrs. ; Beans,
Ireland 421 qrs., Europe 55 ; Pease, coastwise 190 qrs.,
Europe 479 ; Indian Corn, United States 1228 qrs. ;
Oatmeal, Ireland 3996 lds. ; Flour, Ireland 1717 sacks,
coastwise 1050 sacks, United States 985 brls. Exports :
Wheat, coast wise 87 qrs. ; Beans, coastwise 56 qrs. ; In-
dian Corn, Ireland 2595 qrs., coastwise 227; Indian Corn
Meal, Ireland 40 brls. ; Flour, Ireland 61 sacks 210 brls.,
coastwise 114 sacks 171 brls.

There is nothing new to report in the WOOL market ;
no imports from abroad, and only 225 from Scotland.
Business continues very dull ; but should the public sales
which commenced in London on Thursday go off satis-
factorily, there is no doubt but it will give more confi-
dence to the trade, and that after they are closed we shall
have more doing. Scotch has been operated in to a li-
mited extent.

On Saturday and TO-DAY there has been an increasing
demand for Sugar, at stiff prices. In Molasses there is
riot much doing. Tea and Coffee are also quiet ; the lat-
ter article has been so now for a length of time. The
sales of Rum are to a fair extent, at low prices. There is
more doing in the low qualities of Rice ; 9/3 was bid for
