LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 4

The unexpectedly large excess in the stock, which was prin-
cipally in American descriptions, in a great measure checked
business for the remainder of Monday, but though holders
offered their stocks more freely, there was little giving way in
price. On Tuesday, speculators resumed operations, and have
since done a fair extent of business. whilst the trade have only
purchased sparingly; the may ket has closed with firmness, and
prices are rather dearer than on Friday last for American, and
itd. per lb. for the lower qualities of Brazil. Surat has been in
fair request at full rates. Speculators have taken 10,150 Ame-
rican, 40 Maranham, and 1,170 Surat.

rE. JAN

Intermediately from Friday last until this morning, no parti-
cular excitement has been apparent in any branch of the trade.
Incidentally, however, sales of Wheat and other leading articles
have been effected upon a moderate scale of business, and,
with unabated confidence as to some amendment in future
prices, the general currency of last week has been steadily
upheld.
The arrivals into this port within the last ten days, coastwise
and from Ireland, contain chiefly a fair quantity of Oats, with
a liberal supply of Oatmeal and Flour, but not much Wheat or
other grain. Exclusive of 16,367 barrels of Flour from the
United States, the imports thence, and from continental Eu-
rope, are collectively but moderate in amount, as will be ob-
served by the particulars subjoined.
At our market this morning, the trade relative to all descrip-
tions of Wheat, opened with a rather increased tone of firm-
ness, the general runs of English and foreign commanding Id.,
and Irish new Id. to 2d. per 70 lbs. over previous quotations,
at which advance a fair amount of business was transacted.
States, Canadian, and French Flour, having been taken more
freely by consumers, fully supported late prices, and good sam-
ples of home made and Irish were the turn dearer. Barley
and Malt, attended by an improved inquiry, maintainsd
former prices. Beans and Pease remained in all respects un-
varied. Oats, at an early period of the market, were held on
somewhat higher terms, but closed at the rates last noted.
Oatmeal, being in steady request, rather exceeded the amend-
ment of Friday last, 225. per load, and in some cases a little
above that figure have been paid. Indian Corn, upon a mo-
derate demand, partly speculative, good samples of yellow were
6d. per quarter dearer. The frost baying disappeared within
the last few days, the weather is now mild for the season.
