LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 20..

The continued demand for the good qualities of American,
for export, keeps those descriptions dear, whilst the low and
middling, of which the late imports chiefly consist, are freely
offered ; and, notwithstanding a good daily business doing by
the trade, prices must be quoted id. per lb. lower. Egyptians
and Brazil are difficult of sale, and Surat is without change.
The public sale of Sea Islands is thinly attended, and the quan-
tity selling is, up to this moment, very small. Exporters have
4550 American, 500 Pernams anti 20 Surat, and speculators 500
American.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 22.
In the absence of any active demand, prices have remained
steady at the quotations of our last. The same description
applies to this day's market : the demand for each article is
confined to retail sales for consumption, at fully the rates of
this day week, which we do not alter, with the exception of
Indian Corn, for which there has been an active enquiry, for
Ireland, at an advance of 2s. per quarter.
