LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 4

The small quantity of English Wheat left over was of inferior
quality, for which there was no demand, and the business transacted
in free foreign was quite in retail; prices may be considered the
same as or Monday • bonded was quite neglected. (laving a large
supply of Barley, a decline cf is has been submitted to, without
making much progress in sales. Peas and Beans are a dull sale at
our quotations. Inferior Irish Oats are unsaleable, and all sorts
are lower. There has been a considerable arrival of Ciover.seed,
and sales have been effected at 2s to 3s decline.

Arrivals this week.—English, Wheat, 1230 qrs. ; Barley, 1210
qrs.; Oats, 1720 qrs.; Flour, 6:0 sacks. Irish, Oats, 13,620 qrs
Foreign, Wheat, 12,540 qrs.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MARCH 7

The Buttter trade is in the most panic-stricken state, and prices
rapidly declining ; we cannot quote Belfast Butter higher than 86s
to 88s, whilst indifferent kinds may we fairly purchase as low as 70s.
The bugbear of free trade appears to have so completely frightened
holders, that the latter are determined to " clear oft", at whatever
sacrefice. Cork pickled Butter offering as low as 70s for seconds ;
a point, of depression at which, this favourite article for exportation,
has arrived, in consequence of Hamburgh Butter having been per-
mitted to enter in competition with it, in this market—bearing a
brand, " Cork fashion." The character of Cork Butter will no
doubt be maintained in its integrity; upon a comparison with its
Continental opponent in a tropical climate. But in the mean time,
the daw struts with borrowed plumes, very much to the discom-
posure, and pecuniary loss, of the proprietors of the origianal
" double rose." This is not fair trade. There is positively nothing
doing in Irish Beef and Pork: Pity Bacon selling slowly at 525 to
545. Large lots of States Lard have been sent over to Ireland in
the last few days ;—aud they will doubtless make their appearance
again shortly, in regular " Belfast fashion!"

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO MARKET,
March 7. _ _ _

The arrival of Potatoes coastwise or from the Isle of Man since
Friday is inconsiderable. There is an improved demand for re-
shipment into the interior, and the vend to our retail town trade is
also extensive, although we cannot yet report any advance over
our late currency. Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups 2s to 2s Id per
9olbs. Our neighbouring farmers bring all descriptions of pro-
duce freely forward, for which they experience a brisk sale.

LIYERPOOL COTTON MARKET. -MARCH 7

We have no new feature 'to notice in our Cotton market. It
remains very quiet,•aud inanimate buyers, purchase their supplies
from hand to mouth, and in this way 3,500 to 4,000 bales were sold
on Saturday. and to-day about 5,000 bales, 107 of which are in good
Boweds for export. This class of Cotton is soon picked up for the
Russian market, and relatively with the loiver descriptions, full
prices are realized upon it. .

COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT

The week commenced with a better inquiry than for some time
past, and an extensive business was done by the Trade. Exporters
and Speculators, without any improvement in prices. Since Mon-
day, however, the demand has considerably abated, and the market
closed with no material change from the quotations of Friday last.
Speculators have taken 2000 American and 1600 Surat, and Ex-
porters 1400 American and 100 Surat. There were forwarded into
the country unsold during the last month 5300 American.
