LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. FEB. 8

There was so little difference between the prices of the 25th
ultimo and the Ist instant that the quotations were unaltered,
but on the arrival of the Canada steamer on Monday, a brisk
speculative demand arose, and sales were made early iu the
morning at id. per lb. advance upon the current qualities of
American and Brazil. As this advance produced an abundant
supply, the courage of buyers gave way, and at the close of the
day one-half of the advantage gained by holders had been
lost. Since that time the ff ark et has relapsed into quietude,
and the quotations of Friday last are barely maintained. Spe-
culators have taken 14,250 American, 400 Pernambuco, 250
Bahia, 300 Egyptian and 2,200 Surat, and Exporters 1,400 Ame-
rican, 300 Pernam and 30 Surat.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. FEB. 5.
At our market to-day the Wheat trade was very languid,
with little variation in prices from those of Friday.
Flour of all kinds was likewise dull, and the turn cheaper.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease ruled much the same as on
Friday, being very little noticed at the rates of that day.
Oats and Oatmeal being taken very sparingly to-day, the
former barely sustained late prices, and the latter declined
fully 3d. per load
