LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, OCTOBER 24.

We have had an unusually large supply of Beasts at this day's
market, but, generally speaking, of an inferior quality, prime Beef
fully supporting last week's prices, while middling and inferior
things were much lower. We have had a bad supply of Sheep,
with a good demand, at id. per lb. advance. Prime Beef 50. to
6d. ; middling, sd. ; inferior, 4d. to 40. Prime Wethers, 60.;
middling, Sheep and Ewes, sd. to 6d. per lb., sinking the offal.
Beasts, 2,091 ; Sheep, 5,172.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 22.
The Corn trade during the past week has been much depressed
in every market of the kingdom, both agricultural and commer-
cial : the low rates at which every article is offered, have as yet
produced little or no speculative disposition; and, though current
supplies are large, prices have not kept their ground, and there
has been no demand beyond what has arisen from the progress of
consumption.
Good marks or common Flour, at 35s to 365, have been more
saleable than the better descriptions, the price of bread having
been lowered by many bakers to 5d and sic' for the 41bs. loaf.
Of Liverpool and Wakefield, yesterday, it may be said, that there
was less anxious pressure, but no increase of business ; and the
same remark applies to our market this day ; but, though the
general tone of the trade was not worse to-day, we have to quote
a reduction, since this day week, of 2Q per bushel on Wheat, :s
per sack and barrel on Flour, and 2d per bushel on Oats. Meal
,teady, at the quotations of our last. Beans Is per quarter lower.
No correct quotation can yet be given of the value of new Malt.
Old, very slow of sale.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,

OCTOBER 24, 1842.
The import of Potatoes still continues light, both from the Isle
of Man and Coastwise.

The-crop is reported to be exceedingly heavy in the various
localities of the usual shipping ports, as well as in the interior of
this country, and also on the continent of Europe; and juegine
from present appearances,we fully anticipate that this root will rule
exceedingly low during the greater part of this season.
There has been a good retail business transacted overboard to
our town trade during this day, at, for Cups, Is. 3d. to Is. 4d. per
90 lbs., according to quality ; the country dealers not being able to
give this figure, have remained inactive.
The present sudden change in the weather has, in some measure.
checked our neighbouring farmers from preparing and sending their
usual supplies of produce into our local markets, which has enabled
sellers to realize full prices for all descriptions
