LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, NOVEMBER 17.
In consequence of the improved demand for Yarn and manu-
factured goods this week, the trade have acted with more spi-
rit, which has given confidence here, and last week's quotations
are firmly maintained, particularly for the more current quali-
ties of American. Speculators have taken 1205 American and
250 Maranbam, and exporters 1300 American and 400 Surat.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE. NOVEMBER 18.
Both here and at the neighbouring markets business has
beep very inactive during the week, and some reduction in the
Erice of Wheat and Flour has been submitted to. At our
xchange to-day each article met a languid retail sale. Wheat
is 3d. per bushel, and Flour Is. per sack, cheaper; in the value
of other articles there is no quotable variation.

PRESTON CORN MARKET,

Nov. 18

A very inanimate feeling has prevailed in the Corn trade
throughout the past week ; and, except for choice samples of
Oatmeal, each article might have been bought on rather easier
terms. Owing to our r. eighbouring farmer:: being occupied in
their out-door occupations, the supply of English Wheat at
our Corn Exchange to-day was not equal to the demand, con-
sequently the sale was brisk, and the rates of this day se'nnight
fully established. Irish, meeting with very little attention,
must be noted 2d. to 3d. per bushel cheaper, and at this reduc-
tion sales were difficult to effect. Flour 6d. per pack lower.
Beans in good demand, at the above rates. Oats nominally
maintained our quotations. There was a good show of Farmer's
Oatmeal, which met a slow sale, at a decline of Is. per load;
the best samples 28s. 6d. Irish nearly supported our last cur-
rency, but the demand was not so active to-day as during the
week. The average price of Wheat this week is 535. Bd. per
imperial quarter.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
NOVEMBER 18.

We are still without arrivals from the South, owing to the
continuance of northerly winds. There was a good suppljr of
Wheat to-day from the Farmers, but, owing to the scarcity of
English samples and the demand for seed, the whole met a
ready sale, at fully last Saturday's rates. There was a good

demand for foreign, but prices must be quoted Is. per quirter
below the rates of this day se'nnight, and the sales effected
were more extensive than for some weeks past. No South
Country_Barley in the market, and prices are nominally the

shortly coming to band. Grinding in moderate request, at
255. per 50 lbs. Rye, Peas, and Beans, attract little attention.
and no alteration m value can be noticed. Oats are in good
supply from Scotland, as well as from the Continent, for which
there is a fair demand, at last week's currency. There is no
improvement in the value of Flour, the sale of which is dull.
