LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 31

Although there has been a regular and a tolerably large de-
mand, the disposition on the part of the holders to meet it has
been so general, that the aspect of the market has been rather
inanimate than otherwise, and American, of fair quality and
upwaros, are difficult of sale at id. per lb, decline, whilst the
current qualities are without change. Brazil are dull, at a

point in favour of the buyer. Though Egyptian of the better
qualities, from their extreme scarcity, command full prices, the
middle and ordinary qualities are id. per lb. lower, and are
pressing upon the market in such quantities as to be almost
unsaleable, the quotations being in a great measure nominal.
Surat are also lid. per lb. lower The business on speculation
consists of 1520 American, 80 Egyptian, and 250 Surat, and for
export,422o American, 20 Egyptian, 1350 Surat, and 110 Madras.

CORN

MARKETS

LIVERPrIOL, FRIDAY, OCT. 31.—The reported failure in
the Rye and Potato crops on the continent continues to keep
up the excitement in the markets of the North of Europe ; and

accounts thence still represent the prices of Wheat and most
kinds of grain as tending further upwards in value; which, as
a small portion only of the produce of this year's harvest can
have been already consumed, exhibits a peculiar feature in the
trade, and leaves in doubt the calculations previously formed.
Within the last three days we have to note a moderate increase
of Wheat, Barley, and Oats, and a good supply of Oatmeal,
•

chietty trom ireiand and partly coastwise, but a total absence
of foreign produce coming into this port during that period,
except 1850 qrs. of Beans from Egypt ; while the exports of
Flour continue liberal, including 5805 to the Cape of Good
Hope ; and Indian Corn, although apparently in slow request
upon the spot, moves gradually to Ireland. In the British and
Irish markets this week the demand for Wheat in most cases
is reported less active, with little change in value, and spring
Grain in several instances rather dearer. During the interval
since Tuesday American Flour was taken rather more freely
than earlier in the week, but all other articles of the trade have
been quiet at previous quotations. Upon a slender attendance
of home end country millers at our Corn Exchange to-day, the
transactions in either English or Foreign Wheat were very
moderate in amount ; but without the sales being pressed, and
holders refusing to lower their pretensions, the current rates
of Tuesday remained unvaried. States and Canadian Flour,
assuming a firmer tone, good and prime brands were taken
freely on rather higher terms with an improving aspect, and
French maintained late prices. Barley, Malt, Beans, and
Pease, upon a moderate demand, ruled steady in value. Oats,
moving sparingly, were rather cheaper, and Oatmeal declined
3d. per load. Indian Corn dull on the spot, and floating not in
active request.—The following are Tuesday's quotations :

MANCHESTER, Nov. I.—The Grain and Flour trade has been
quiet during the week : there has been a fai: consumptive en-
quiry for the best qualities of each article, with a degree of
firmness on the part of sellers of Wheat and Flour. Our mar-
ket to-day is steady, with a moderate business doing, but
without transactions in any article to call for particular notice.
Prices of Wheat and Flour are as on this dsy week, the demand
still running very much upon the superior qualities. No varia-
tion in the value of Ohts, but Oatmeal rather easier to buy.
Beans, Peas, and Grinding Barley firm at late rates, and not
much offering of either article.
PRESTON, Nov. I.—Our imports of Oats and Oatmeal
from Ireland this week are to a fair amount, but the supplies
of other arlicles thence or coastwise are insignificant. The
trade, in the meantime, has been of a languid character, with
a tendenty to lower prices. We had only a moderate supply
of English Wheat at our Corn-Exchange to-day the weather
being wet, many of the parcels were out of condition, and the
demand for such ruled dull, at irregular prices. Fine White
is scarce, and would command rather more money; and prime
Red sold readily, at the extreme rates of this day se'nnight.
Irish without change. Old Foreign neglected. Flour the tnrn
lower. Oats supported our last currency. Farmers' Oatmeal
unaltered. Irish offered more freely, at a reduction of 3d. to
6d. per load.
WAKEFIELD. OCT. 31.—The supplies this week are very
limited. There being a poor show of Wheat sellers have the
advantage, and the full prices of last week are obtained. An ;
advance of Is. per qr. is readily obtained on the finest qualities
of Barley, but for general runs the demand is not brisk. Oats
are id. per stone, and Shelling Is. per load dearer. Beans full
as well sold.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Nov. I.—There was a large
supply of Wheat at market to-day from the country, which
met a ready sale at the extreme rates of last Saturday. Owing
to contrary winds, the arrivals coastwise have been scanty,
and the few parcels on offer were readily taken at the full cur-
rency of this day se'nnight. There was also very little choice
of foreign Wheat offering in granary, as few holders are dis-
posed to accept present rates ; where sales were effected, full
prices were realised. The late large arrival of Malting Barley
being nearly all disposed of, choice parcels bring ls. per qr.
advance ; Grinding descriptions were fully as dear as last
quoted, with a great demand. New Oats come to market in
very bad condition, and sell slowly at Is. per qr. reduction.
English and Scotch Old Oats are now very scarce, and bring
6d. per qr. more money ; foreign difficult to quit, but their
value is unaltered. Flour the same as last week.
WISBECH, Nov. I.—There has been a fair show of Wheat
here to-day, in better condition, which meets a good demand
at fully the rates of last week, and the best runs Is. per qr.
dearer. Oats Is. per qr. dearer. Beans, none at market.
BELFAST,3I.—We had at th is morning's market a
small supply of Wheat and Barley. moderate of Oats, and
large of Oatmeal. Any Wheat at all fit for sale brought a good
price, whilst inferior lots were a slow sale at former rates.
Oats and Barley sold freely at previous prices, and Oatmeal
was a slow sale with the price in favour of sellers. Indian
Corn must be quoted at a decline of 2s. 6d. per ton, and is a
slow sale.

CORK, Nov. 1.--The Flour market is very quiet this week.
Foreign Wheats are in less request, and barely support the late
improvement. Indian Corn is a dull sale. At our Corn Ex-
change to-day Wheat and Oats have improved a little in value.
Barley is unchanged.

CATTLE MARKETS

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3.—There were about 300 fewer Beasts
than last week, and a small supply of Sheep, at market this
day. We had a good attendance of both town and country
buyers, and last week's prices were well supported.

SALFORD, OCT. 29.—We continue to be supplied most
freely with both beasts and sheep, and chiefly of first-rate qua-
lity. The attendance was large, still the best Beef and Mutton
did not bring over 5d., and everything really prime found
buyers before the close of the market.
WAKEFIELD, OCT. 29.—At this day's market we had a large
show of fat stock. The number of Beasts 680, including 85
foreign ; Sheep, 5700. There was a numerous attendance of
buyers, and, upon the whole, a very good business done. All
the stock was disposed of at the following rates : Beef, 51. to
Sc. 6d, per at. of 141 b. ; Mutton, sd. per lb. We had also a
good show of lean stock and Pigs.
