LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 29,

---
During the latter part of last week, our market assumed a quieter
aspect, and the demand was less active this morning, There was
a better attendance of the trade, and more general enquiry for
Cotton. The amount of business is estimated at 5,500 bales, of
which only 500 are placed to speculative account. The inquiry
to-day has been more for long stapled Cotton, near 2000 (of which
900 are Egyptian) have been taken. On the whole the market is
very steady, and prices extremely firm, having an upward ten-
dency.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXI

RANGE. AUGUST 26.

Inclusive of a parcel of Wheat from Canada, the arrivals
within the past three days amount to upwards of 10,000 qrs.,
chiefly from Baltic ports ; we have also a good fresh supply
of Colonial Flour and several small lots of Oatmeal, but the
imports during the same period from all other quarters are
light.
The duty on Foreign Wheat has been increased this week
to Ils. per qr.-, and on Flour to 6s. 'ad. per barrel, the anti-
cipation of which and the certainty of a rapid advance in the
rates on this Grain, have communicated a degree of firmness
to the trade to which we have of late been accustomed ; a
return of almost constant rain has also furnished additional
stimulus, and several cargoes of Wheat, mostly Danzim and
red Baltic, have changed hands on speculation, at the full
rates on Tuesday last, and in some cases at rather more
money than was obtainable on that day ; the millers have,
however, been very inactive, and we have had no improve-
ment in the demand for any other article in the interval be-
tween our last market and to-day.
Further speculative purchases in Wheats to a pretty good
extent have been effected this morning, in addition to which
a fair quantity has been taken by buyers from a distance in
the interior, as well as some for Ireland ; and notwith-
standing' our local millers have remained mostly on the re-
serve, the transactions on the whole are considerable ;
holders are firm, but we cannot state any advance except
upon general middling and low descriptions, which are Id.
to 2d. per bushel dearer. Flour is more readily sold, but at
no quotable improvement in value.
The business doing in Oats and Oatmeal is at Tuesday's
rates, but the sales are quite in retail; no new lriih at
market.

For other articles of the trade we continue former quota
tions, though little or nothing is passing in them.
The weather is still very wet.
