LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 28.

Although there has been rather less inquiry this week from
the trade, who have purchased largely of late, the sales continue
to be considerable. Business during the last few days has been
unfavourably influenced by the reports of the state of things in
Ireland, and by bad weather; the market, consequently, has
been rather more in favour of buyers. The reports from Ire-
land having proved totally unfounded, and the weather being
again fine, the market closes with a feeling of more confidence,
and there is no material change to notice in last week's quota-
tions. Taken on speculation 2700 American, and for export
4530 American, 1540 Pernam, and 30 Surat. There have been
forwarded during the month into the country unsold, 16,880
American, 500 Surat, 100 Egyptian, and 220 Carthagena.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET.—SATURDAY.

LIVERPOOL WOOL iviARKET. -SATURDAY.
There is decidedly a better feeling existing in our market for
Foreign Wool, but, as we shall receive large supplies from all
parts of the world, there cannot for some time be much ad-
vance in price. There are tote some public sales here on the
10th and 11th of August, of about 1000 bales of fine Colonial
and 400 hales Capes, as well as some low Wools. In Scotch
business is limited, the selection at present being indifferent;
but large:quantities are drily expected.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,

JULY 29,

The weather to-day seems to be improving, but during the
week it was boisterous and unsettled, consequently the crops
have made but little progress. Our letters received during the
week speak very unfavourably of Potatoes, but as yet the com-
plaints are few in this district and so unimportant as scarcely to
bear mentioning. The trade since this day se'nnight, influ-
enced by the exciting reports from other markets, has assumed
much firmness, the sales effected in Wheat and Flour on Tues-
day being at an advance of fully is. to 2s. per qr. and Is. per
sack respectively, other articles at the sometime enjoying more
attention at rather higher prices. At our market this morning
we had a better supply of Wheat from the growers, and having
very little offering from the coast, fresh thrashed samples were
taken off at an enhancement of 2s. per quarter, and what busi-
ness transpired in south country qualities and foreign, was at a
similar improvement, but the trade upon the whole closed dull.
For Flour there was a fair steady inquiry, and we raise our quo-
tations Is. per sack, but our millers, we understand, advanced
their price 3s. per sack, whether, however, the advance be sus-
tained, will be mainly contingent upon circumstances. Rye
unaltered. Barley continues in good request, and a clearance
has been generally made at last week's prices. Choice season-
made Malt supports its value, but inferior descriptions are
almost totally unsaleable. Beans much the same, but boiling
Pease, owing to the unfavourable reports regarding Potatoes,
have commanded more attention, and evince an advancing ten-
dency. Having only a moderate show of Oats from the coun-
try, and the arrivals being equally so, sales were more freely
effected, at an advance of Is. per quarter. The duty on Wheat
is Is. lower; on other grain there is no change.
