LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
January 10.

There is only a trivial amount of Potatoes forward coastwise
and from the Isle of Man since the 6th instant.
We now have a strong frost, accompanied with a south east
wind, which will prevent any considerably supply getting forward
as long as it continues,—influenced by this cause, the market to-
day opened very firm, with an improved demand for reshipment
into the Manchester, and surrounding markets in the interior, this
being accompanied by a brisk sale to our town retail dealers, the
full currency of last week has been fully sustained. Manx, Scotch

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 10.
The demand for Cotton for the last few days has been to a mo-
derate extent ; on Saturday 3000 bales, and to. day 3500, but with a
very healthy tone and feeling. The new crop is coming in freely,
but the bulk of it, (particularly that from the district of New Or-
leans.) is of a very inferior description, full of leafs and gin waste,
owing to the want of attention in the getting of it up, and if low
prices continue, it is much to be feared that it may be worse in-
stead of better. This makes the buyers more desirous of purchas-
ing the old crop, and has had the effect of putting it comparatively
higher. Brazils and Egyptians continue to be neglected, and
prices merely nominal On the whole the market closes with
firmness, and evidently indicates a better feeling in general.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
The year has opened with a fair demand from the trade, and there
being only a moderate assortment upon the market, prices of
American and Surat are steadily supported. Brazil, on the other
hand, is rather lower, and Egyptian still heavy of sale. Speculators
have also taken 300 American and 250 Surat, and Exportcrs 200
American and 100 Surat.
