LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEE. 25

The duty on Foreign Wheat has advanced this week to
26s Bd. on Weans to 19s 9d per quarter, and on Flour to
16s 04d per barrel; that upon all Grain and Flour of Colonial
produce having been for some weeks past at the highest rate
of impost.
We have some increase in the supply of Wheat, with con-
tinued good arrivals of Oatmeal from Ireland; but of other
articles thence, or of anything Coastwise, the receipts are
still very trivial. The imports from abroad consist of 760'J
quarters Mediterranean and Black Sea Wheat, and 1000
quarters Indian Corn from the United States, being without
any further quantity of Flour from that direction, though
many parcels are shortly expected.
Within the past few days the trade, for all free articles,
has remained in an inanimate state, with no apparent altera-
tion in prices, and the only transaction reported in bonded is
1500 barrels American Flour, at 26s per barrel.
We have to report, at our Corn Exchange this morning, a
very slender attendance of both home 'and country buyers,
who, although generally bare of stock, still appear determined
to wait, at least nearer to a termination' of the debates upon
the corn bill, before they venture to' come freely on the mar-
ket, and, beyond supplying their immediate wants, have
done little business in any article to-day.
The sales of Wheat, in consequence, have been at a de-
cline of ld per bushel, of Flour 6d per barrel, and of Oat-
meal, the choicest parcels are offering, without meeting buy-
ers, at is per sack reduction ; for one parcel of superior
malting Oats, our last quotations have been realised, but
any samples below that quality are Id to id per 451bs cheaper
than on Tuesday. For all other articles we have bad a com-
pletely nominal trade to-day, as regards both price and de-
mand.
There has been no further inquiry foreither Wheat or Flour
in bond.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 25.
There has been a fair skew of business in our market to-day
which in prosperous times would have indicated a 5 or 6000 bag
day; as it is we cannot estimate it at more than 3500 bales, at
yesterday's prices. The weekly sales amount to 23,190 bales, of
which near 6000 bales are for export ou speculation account,
leaving only 17,000 to the trade.

COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 26.
The reduction of the rate of Interest by the Bank of England is
looked upon here as a very seasonable relief to the depression of
trade, and has induced a few speculators to come into our Cotton
market. This has caused a little more animation, and fall 4000
bales have been sold. 1000 of these are Surats at a low figure,
and the market closes steadily with a firmer fealing as regards
prices.

COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 28.
The stimulous given to our Cotton market on Saturday has in.
duced a more numerons attendance of the trade today, and we
close our day's business with an estimate of 5500 bales, at the full
prices of last week ; in some instances a shade dearer. There has
again been a large business done in Surat, say 1200 bales, chiefly
to one consumer. On the whole, things look better, and holders
remain firm and unflinching.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
The demand from the Trade continues extremely limited, and the
common qualities of American are again id per lb lower, whilst the
fair and better descriptions remain firm, owing to their comparative
scarceness. In Brazil and Egyptian no material alteration can be
noticed, but the prices of common Surat are barely supported.
There has been a good inquiry and the buyers have some difficulty
in executing their orders, which are chiefly for the better classes
of American. 3400 American and 200 Surat were taken for export,
and 2000 American on speculation.
