LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 4

The demand for Cotton to-day has !been only a :moderate
one to the extent of 2500 bales at yesterday's prices, with a
very firm and steady market. " Old Cotton " is becoming
scarce, the bulk of that offering is of the new crop, and by no
means in great favour with the generality of buyers, owing. in
a great measure, to the inferior manner it is got up.

COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 6.
The improved tone and feeling in our Cotton market noticed for
the last week or two has continued, and there is decidedly a healthi-
ness about it that is more satisfactory to both buyer and seller,
enabling them to transact business in a more confidential manner
than has been the case of late. The Indian news by the overland
mail this evening, is not of an exciting nature, and ought to have
no material effect upon our market : to keep it steady and firm
should be the desire of all parties, and spinners can do this by
coming only for their immediate wants. This would keep specu-
lators at bay, and prevent any sudden rise in the market, winch
always recoils upon the consumer with double power. Yesterday
4000 bales were sold, and to-day about the same quantity, all to
the trade. Common Surats more plentiful, and rather easier to
buy than last week.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, .AN T . 4

The new year having commenced with frost and adverse
winds, we have, in consequence, to report a very limited
supply of either British or foreign Grain fresh in for to-day,
except Pease, of which the quantity is again rather large, and
of Flour, of which upwards of 17,000 brls have arrived from
Canada and the American States ; whence we had a similar
import in the course of last week, and from the latter country
further shipments to some extent are coming forward.
The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and
Oatmeal computed to remain in Liverpool on the 31st De-
cember, 18-11 :

IN BOND.—Wheat, 45,262 qrs. ; Barley, 5258 qrs. ; Oats,
14,892 qrs. ; Rye, 1757 qrs. ; Beans, 15,575 qrs. ; Pease,
, 5069 qrs. • Flour, 26,388 brls.

FitiE.Wheai, 150,000 qrs ; Barley, 10,000 qrs ; Oats,
25,000 qrs ; Rye qrs ; Beans, 35,000 qrs ; Peas, 13,000
qrs ; Flour, 95,000 barrels and 10,000 sacks, and 70,000 loadi
oatmeal.

Our market to-day opened with au exceedingly dull as-
pect, and all the leading branches of the trade suffered more
or less depression.
The millers and dealers continuing to buy with extreme
reluctance, scarcely sufficient to serve the wants of the mo-
ment, holders were induced to submit to a decline of ld to
2d for the best, and 2d to 3d per 70Ibs. for other descriptions
of English, Irish, and foreign free Wheats ; at this redaction,
however, sales to a tolerable amount were effected for ship-
ment to Ireland, constituting the only transactions in this
grain deserving notice.
Flour of all sorts, moving off very sparingly, States and
Canadian receded 6d per barrel, and English as well as Irish
is per sack below the rates of this day week.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, being nearly without in-
quiry, were very difficult of sale, at an abatement of is. per
quarter each.
Oats and Oatmeal, partaking of the general languor, so
conspicuous in other articles of the corn trade, were the
turn cheaper.
