LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 30.

The business in Cotton to-day is again very trifling—say
about 2,000 bales, by private. At the public sale of Sea Is-
lands and Staineds there was a thin attendance of buyers;
and out of 1,040 of the former, which were offered, only 240
found buyers, at about previous rates, whilst out of 660
Stained put up only 70 were sold at full prices. On the
whole it was a miserably stale, flat, and unprofitable sale.
The sales of the week amount to 16,820 bales of all kinds,
including 1,200 American for speculation, and 600 for ex-
port. Prices have declined to our quotations of this day
week, or as low as previous to the great fire. The amount
of cotton consumed is deducted from our stocks, and makes
a considerable deficiency appear from last week's account.

COTTON MARKET, OCTOBER 3.
We have really nothing new to report of. Our market is stale,
flat and unsatisfactory for both buyer and seller. The daily de-
mand averages from 2%,00 to 2500, and prices are stationary ; it any
change it is in favour of the buyer. The rumour brought oi
damage to the coming crop by the steamer has had no effect.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
In the early part of the week there was a good demand from the
Trade, and, in consequence of the decrease in the stock occasioned
by the recent fire, holders demanded an advance of id per lb ; this
improvement was in many instances realized; but since Monday
the inquiry has been very limited, and the advantage previously
gained not supported ; the quotations for all kinds, therefore, re-
main the same as last week. Speculators have taken 1200 American
and Exporters 300 American and 150 Surat during the week.
There were offered by auction this day, 1040 Sea Island and 660
Stained, of which 240 of the former and 70 of the latter, were sold
at previous rates. The quantity now accurately ascertained to
have been consumed in the late fires amounts to 41,947 bales, con-
sisting of 422 Sea Island, 32,181 other American, 262 P ernambuco,
74 Maranham, 50 Bahia, i5B Egyptian, 7000 Surat and 300 Madras.
The quantity forwarded into the country unsold during the month
has been 1250 American and 140 Surat,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT.
There is no alteration in any of the duties on forei
duce this week, and the only change in colonial is up

ign pro-
ion Rye,

advanced to 2s. 6d. per quarter. -
The prevalence of eastern winds within the last few days
have prevented any important arrivals here since our report
of Tuesday, those from abroad being limited to 2762 qrs. of
Wheat, with 250 qrs. of Beans ; and coastwise, from either
north and south, we have scarcely anything to notice. From
Ireland likewise, the supplies of all articles fresh in are ex-
tremely small, but expected to increase materially on a favor-
able change of wind : in the mean time we may observe, that
a fair quantity of Wheat and Flour continues to be shipped
coastwise each week from the granaries of this port; which,
combined with the demand for local and country consump-
tion, has been gradually diminishing the stocks of these ar-
ticles for some time past.
The operations in the Corn trade here from the close of
Tuesday, and previous to this date, were generally of a very
limited character ; and at our Corn Exchange this morning,
upon a rather slender attendance of buyers, no active or
lively business was apparent : of good fresh foreign Wheat,
however, sales were effected to a moderate extent, on terms
in some instances equal to, and in others at a slight abate-
ment from our last currency ; whilst Irish new, in the tem-
porary absence of arrivals, commanded rather higher prices.
States and Canadian Flour, continuing in slow request,
was 6d. per barrel cheaper; but English and Irish, being
scarce, would have sold freely at our last quotations.
Without any supply of Malting Barley, such is still of
uncertain value ; and that of grinding quality little more than
nominal. Beans remain unvaried. Pease exceedingly dull,
and feeding parcels offering at very low rates.

During the last seven days there are no arrivals of Potatoes either

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 3.
The demand for Butter since this day se'nnight has been con-
fined to a few retail purchases. Holders steadily require the late
advanced quotations, at which, however. they do not make active
progress. We quote Belfast at 515 to 83s; Carlow. fine Waterford
and Kilkenny 82s to 848 ; Newry, Banbridge, &c. ;63 to 78s ; Derry.
Ballymoney, &c. 78s to Sts. Pickled Butter is in rather more
favour; some hold at a limit of 765—the selling rate s, however,
not more than 74s to 755.
We observe something like a panic in the Provision trade.
Derry Beef has been sold as low as 75s per tierce. We must, how-
ever, remark that the quality was ordinary. Good ship store Beef
may be had at pus per tierce, and Pork at 458 to mis per barrel.
There is a considerable quantity of inferior Foreign Beef and
Pork forcing upon the market at very low rates ; hence the alarm
amongst holders of Irish Provisions. Bacon is less enquired for.
hut prices are tolerably supported, considering the great reduction
hi value of other provisions.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, OCi'OBER 1.
The trade during the week though dull, has, on the whole, been
of a steadier character, and the considerable decline which we had
to report in our last circular seems to have brought prices nearly
to their lowest point for the present, as regards Wheat and Flour ;
but Oats and Oatmeal have again receded in
In the agricultural districts it seems pretty evident that, for the
present, lower prices than those now paying will not be o-übmitted

to.
At Liverpool, yesterday, the market was without change; whilst
at Wakefield there was a ready sale tor new Wheats, at an advance
of fully Is per quarter.
At our market this morning, but little new Wheat, either Eng.
lish or Irish, is offering, and there is a moderate sale for this and
good old, at the rates of our last. New Flour moves off slowly, at
late prices. Canadian and American are offered on rather lower
terms. New Oats are difficult of sale, at fully ltl per bushel re-
duction : old are as last quoted. New and old Oatmeal both Is per
:„ad lower. Beans, Malt and other articles without alteration.
