LIVERPOOL curroNatARKET, OCTOBER 6.
The same dulness which has 64 long existed in the market
bus continued throughout the present weeg, and the common
qualities of American, being still freely offered, are id. per lb.
loner : the better qualities, owing to a falling off in the inquiry
Tor export, have also declined id. to id. per lb. ; other kinds,
*it'll kinds, with the exception of Surat, barely maintained
last week's quotations. 600 American have been taken on spe-
