LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCTOBER 20

There has been only a moderate trade demand during this
week, whilst the inquiry for export has been good. American
descriptions have been very freely offeled, and a further de-
cline of id. per lb. has been established ; all other sorts partake
of the general heaviness, and are likewise id. per lb. lower. 100
American have been taken on speculation, and 3980 American,
200 Pennon, 30 Carthagena, 630 Surat, and 100 Bengal for ex-
port. 2200 bales Uplands will be offered by auction on Friday
next.

LTVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. OCT. 17

La • - _
Although still opposed by adverse winds, several more Grain
ships, aided by the tides, have worked inwards since Friday,
which, including those up previously during the week, contain
a few parcels of Wheat, with a fair supply of Oats, Flour, and
Oatmeal from Ireland, but scarcely anything coastwise : of
foreign Wheat, however, the import is large, and of Indian
Corn, Corn Meal, and Flour from the States, rather liberal.
At our market this morning there was a good attendance of

buyers, and a moderate but by no means lively demand for
Wheat of most descriptions. The best qualities of Foreign
at a decline of 2d., and all other kinds 3d. per 701 b. ; but in
English or Irish, eii her old or new, there is little alteration to
note from the rates of this day week.
Flour was 6d. to Is. per sack, and 6d. per barrel, cheaper.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, remain the same as last
week. - - . . . . _

Oats were in fair rec
and Oatmeal was 6d. per

guest, at a decline of Id. per bushel;
• load cheaper.

The fine qualities of Indian Corn.ruled the same as last week;
but White, more having been offered on the market, was Is.
lower.
