HULL CORN MARKET, MAY 30.
At to-day's market there was a fair supply of wheat; sellers
would not give way in price, and, there being some needy buy-
ers at market, a good business was done at the close, at about
the currency of last week. Beans and Oats were taken as they
appear at rather better prices. Foreign Barley was offering
freely at low rates, and in limited demand. More inquiry for
Linseed Cake. In some parts of Holderness rain has fallen
quite sufficient to benefit the crops.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 2

The demand was very good on Saturday and Monday last,
the trade buying freely, and in some instances rather better
prices were obtained for the common and middling descrip-
tions of American; since Tuesday, however, the demand has
much abated, and as the late imports are offered freely, the
market has been very dull, and closes heavily, the quotations of
last week being barely sustained. Sea Island continues in fair
request, at previous prices; Surat also is held firmly; Brazil
and Egyptian remain without much alteration, but holders are
rather pressing sales. Exporters have taken 1650 American,
and speculators 2700 American. There have been sold into the
country unsold during the last month 4210 American, 300 Per-
nambuco, and 120 Surat.

LIVERPOOL COMMERCIAL MARKET, JUNE 2.
The Sugar market has been rather quiet, and the extreme
prices of last week are with difficulty supported ,• the sales
consist of 650 Mids. 8.P., and 2000 bags Bengal. At the close
of the last and the commencement of the present week, the
demand for Foreign continued active, and 270 cases Brazil were
sold at full rates : a cargo of Pernams, one-third white, was
also sold afloat for delivery in the Clyde ; 80 boxes Havana
have also been taken at 425., with 20 hhds. Porto Rico at the

can be quoted.—The only sale reported in Molasses is a small
parcel of Demerara, of ordinary quality, at 18s. per cwt. from
the quay.
Importers have pressed Jamaica Coffee freely on the market,
and the public sales have gone off heavily, at a decline of 2s. to
3s. per cwt. ; 220 tierces have been sold. Of Foreign, the only
sales reported are 10 bales Mocha at 555., and 50 bags ordinary
Costa Rica at 30s. per cwt. Small sales have been made in
Pimento, and in good Pepper at 3d. per lb., and a few bags of
Guayaquil Cocoa brought 345. per cwt.
300 tierces of Carolina Rice sold at 16s. to 18s., and 3000 bags
of Bengal from Bs. 3d. to 1 Is. per cwt. The sales of Rum this
week are limited to 60 puns. Demerara, 35 to 38 per cent. at 3s.
to 3s. 6d., the latter price for a choice mark ; the market closes
very flat.

of grain. Prices remain nearly the same as on Tuesday. A
reduction of Is. per quarter was submitted to on Indian Corn.

WAKEFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 31.
We had fair supply of stock at market this morning of both
descriptions. There was a good attendance of buyers and all
was sold. Mutton, 6d. per lb. ; Beef, Gs. 6d. to Is. per stone;
Lambs, 18s. to 245. per head. Sheep and Lambs. 5.300; Beasts,
500. We had a short supply of lean Cattle and Calvers.

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. JUNE 1.
Owing to the overcrowded state of the Liverpool and Man-
chester market' on Monday and Tuesday, by which means
fresh meat was lower by nearlyid. per lb., our market, although
smaller than usual, was extremely dull so far as the butchers'
and export trade went, and to effect sales holders of cattle gave
way 10s., Us., and even 20s. a head on cattle from the previous
week, our very highest quotation for Beet being 525. 6d. down-
wards to 425. ; and for Mutton, 6d to 7d. per lb., sinking offal,
being shearlings ; veal scrace, bringing 7d. to 7id. per lb.;
Lambs 15s. to 225. each: and good Pork 48s. to 525. each. The
scarcity of Pigs is now such that 295. is had for the smallest

LIVERPOOL COMMERCIAL MARKET. JUNE 2.
_ .

The Sugar market has been rather quiet, and the extreme
prices of last week are with difficulty supported ; the sales
consist of 650 hhds. 8.P., and 2000 bags Bengal. At the close
of the last and the commencement of the present week, the
demand for Foreign continued active, and 270 cases Brazil were
sold at full rates : a cargo of Pernams, one-third white, was
also sold afloat for delivery in the Clyde ; 80 boxes Havana
have also been taken at 425., with 20 hhds. Porto Rico at the
quotations. The market closes quiet but no decline in prices
can be quoted.—The only sale reported in Molasses is a small
parcel of Demerara, of ordinary quality, at 18s. per cwt. from
the quay.
Importers have pressed Jamaica Coffee freely on the market,
and the public sales have gone off heavily, at a decline of 2s. to
38. per cwt. ; 220 tierces have been sold. Of Foreign, the only
sales reported are 10 bales Mocha at 555., and 50 bags ordinary
Costa Rica at 30s. per cwt. Small sales have been made in
Pimento, and in good Pepper at 3d. per lb., and a few bags of
Guayaquil Cocoa brought 348. per cwt.
300 tierces of Carolina Rice sold at 16s. to 18s., and 3000 bags
of Bengal from Bs. 3d. to I Is. per cwt. The sales of Rum this
week are limited to 60 puns. Demerara, 35 to 38 per cent. at 3s.
to 3s. 6d., the latter pnce for a choice mark ; the market closes
very flat.

The Tea market has been quiet this week, and the transac-
tions limited.

About 40 chests of Shell Lac have been sold at 30s. 6d. to
415., 350 bags Cutch at 19s. to 215., and 100 baskets of Gambier
at 98., and some small parcels of Sago Flour at 17s. per cwt.
The sales in Saltpetre continue trifling, and the market remains
very dull. 1500 bags of Nitrate of Soda sold at 12s. to 12s. 6d.
per cwt.
Guano.—There has been rather more done, and nearly 1000
tons of all kinds sold during the week, viz., Peruvian at .t 9,
Ichaboe at £6 10s. to .-e7 55.. Patagonia at £5 to .e 5 10s., and
Saldanha Bay at £2 15s. to £3 per ton.

THE WATER QUESTION,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIR—Mr. Danson, the councillor for Lime-street Ward,
states, in a published letter to his constituents, that " the
quality" of the Rivington Pyke water, " according to all
able and unprejudiced persons, is undeniable."
The good quality of the Rivington Pyke water is not so
" undeniable" as Mr. Danson, a thorough-going " Pyke"
man, would wish to make it appear. Carried away by his
enthusiasm in its behalf, he stated at the last meeting of
the Polytechnic Society, that it was " the finest water in
the world," though two gentlemen, members of the so-
ciety, had just stated that they had been, a few days
before, over to Rivington Pyke, to see and taste the water
and judge for themselves, and they found that the water
of the running streams had a strong odour, and was any-
thing but what they would select for themselves to drink.
They also stated the remarkable fact, which is worth
more than a whole host of theoretical arguments to the
contrary, that the inhabitants of the district will not drink
of the water of these streams, even when passing their
very doors, but will invariably go " fields off" to obtain
the water of any chance spring there may be in the neigh-
bourhood.

The opinion of the resident inhabitants is worth some
; and an opinion which they prove by their practice
is surely worth more than that of a London geologist and
an Edinburgh professor, both strangers in the district,
and will be considered by most persons as " an able and
unprejudiced opinion of the quality of the water which is
undeniable."--I am, sir, &c.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 2.

The demand was very good on Saturday and Monday last,
the trade buying freely, and in some instances rather better
prices were obtained for the common and middling descrip-
tions of American; since Tuesday, however, the demand has
much abated, and as the late imports are offered freely, the
market has been very dull, and closes heavily, the quotations of
last week being barely sustained. Sea Island continues in fair
request, at previous prices; Surat also is held firmly ; Brazil
and En ptian remain without much alteration, but holders are
rather pressing sales. Exporters have taken 1650 American,
and speculators 2700 American. There havebeen sold into the
