LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, AUGUST 5

COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT

There has been a further improvement in the demand this week,
and the purchases on account of the trade have been on a more
extensive scale than in any previous week during the year; Specu-
lators have bought freely, but for export the operations have been
moderate. Prices of the common and middling qualities of
American have advance id to id per lb, whilst fair to good remain
without change; in other descriptions there is no alteration. 1650
Sea Island and 550 Stained were offered by auction to-day, of
which 730 of the former and 300 of the latter found buyers, at
prices about on a par with the previous business. 500 Egyptian
were also offered, but withdrawn for want of bidders. Speculators
have taken 13,000 American, and Exporters 750 American.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. AUGUST 5

The rate of duty has advanced upon Foreign Rye to 9s 6d,
and upon Colonial to is per qr., which are the only al-
terations we have to notice for the ensuing week.
We have again a large arrival of Wheat, the import from
abroad within the past three days exceeding 19,000 qrs.,
chiefly from and through the Mediterranean ; the supply of
States and Canadian Flour is also to a liberal amount, and
the whole, as well as our present stock of bonded Wheat
and Flour, may now be considered virtually on the free mar-
ket,'there being every prospect of an early advance of duty ;
the fresh supplies coastwise and from Ireland are generally,
as of late, very limited.
The trade between Tuesday last and to-day assumed rather
more firmness, and a few transactions took place in the
leading articles on nearly the terms last noted. Yesterday
there was an indication of unsettled weather, by which some
stimulus was excited ; more, however, in the
,minds of
holders than of buyers, there being upon the whole little
apparent relief from the state of apathy previously existing.
Several millers from distant parts of the country, at this
day's market, seemed to impait rather more stability to the
trade for Wheat, in which a fair extent of business was
transacted, and there appeared a somewhat less eager desire
to force sales than in the early part of the week ; most hold-
ers notwithstanding, evinced a ready disposition to meet the
demand, and while some parcels of good quality realized our
last quotations, a decline of ia.,to 2d. per 70lbs was more
generally conceded.
Upon a moderate sale for States and Canadian Flour, each
may be considered rather cheaper; home made and Irish
remaining nominally unvaried.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, being nearly without in-
quiry, were severally, in some degree, depressed in valve.
A few parcels of fine heavy Dutch Oats, just arrived, ap-
peared to meet a rather free sale to-day at 3s Id to 3s 3d per
45 lbs. ; but in other kinds, scarcely any business was done ;
and Oatmeal, being very little noticed, hardly maintained
Our last currency.
