LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. JULY 5.
The backward state of the American crop, rendering the ex-
tent of it very precarious, continues to give confidence, and
has caused an extensive demand from all descriptions of
buyers; and although the market continues to be plentifully
supplied with the middling and lower qualities of American
descriptions, it closes very firm, at a slight advance upon the
quotations of this day week. Brazil, Egyptian, and Surat, are
blso rather dearer. Speculators have taken this week 11,873
American, 4,570 Surat, 440 Bahia, 260 Maranharn, and 480
Egyptian, and Exporters 5,350 American, 100 Surat, 540 Per-
nam, 80 Bahia and 50 Carthagena.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 2.
Advices from New York to the 18th ultimo, report a dull
market for Grain and Flotir. The better qualities of Flour
were held for former prices, whilst inferior sorts were offered
at less money. Increasing supplies of Indian Corn had caused
a farther decline in prices, and quotations now stand for
Western mixed and yellow, 62c. to 63c., and for Northern and
Jersey round yellow, 653 c. per bus. of 56 lbs. The exports
from New York to Great Britain and Ireland during the fort-
night ending 11th June, consisted of 11,257 brls. of Flour, 160
brls. Corn Meal, and 166,019 bus. Indian Corn. We may note
in con- I generally that their currencies are altogether too high for the

British market, and it is evident that a low range'of prices,
such as has prevailed in England for a long time past, is not
calculated to draw those abundant supplies from the United

States, which were so confidently predicted to come forward
under any circumstances, with the advantage of nominal
duties.

In the course of the last week, the spring corn and root
crops in this district began to pine a little from drought, but
with several hours tolerably heavy and refreshing rain on Sun-
day night and early. yesterday, the face of the country around
us appears greatly improved, and as much rain each day for a
week to come, if favoured by fine weather subsequently, would
place the crops in a safe position until harvest. Meanwhile the
reports from nearly all other parts of the United Kingdom on
this subject are very satisfactory on the whole. Tnflnatworl

however, by compar-atively high -prices in America and Conti-
nental Europe, the British and Irish markets, although in ge-
neral tolerably firm, appear unsusceptible of any important
vacilations for the moment, if we except Indian Corn, which,

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 6.
The weather during the week has been showery, with much
stormy wind. Prices of Wheat and Flour have been well main-
tained in this and the neighbouring large markets,', and a
steady though not very extensive business has been done.
Other articles fully sunport their previous value. To-day.
Wheat meets steady sale at full prices. The better qualities of
fresh Flour are in demand at 6d. to Is. advance, but such as
have been long in warehouse, or are made of Wheats not quite
sweet, move off but slowly, Oats and Oatmeal maintain pre-
vious rates, with but little demand. Beans, Malt, and all
other articles as last quoted.
