-JONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH -J

The small quantity of English Wheat left over was of inferior
quality, for which there was no demand, and the business transacted
iti free foreign was quite in retail; prices may be considered the
same as ou Monday ; bonded was quite neglected. Having a large
supply of Barley, a decline of is has been submitted to, without
making much progress in sales. Peas and Beans arc a dull sale at
our quotations. Inferior Irish Oats are unsaleable, and ail sorts
are lower. There has been a considerable arrival of Ciover-seed,
and sales have been effected at 25 to 3s decline. . _

Arrivals this week.—English. Wheat. 1230 qrs. ; Barley, 1210
qrs.; Oats, 1720 qrs.; Flour, 610 sacks. Irish, Oats, 13,030 qrs

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAR.cn 7

rapidly declining • we cannot quote Belfast Butter higher
to 88s, whilst indifferent kinds may we fairly purchase as low as 70s
The bugbear of free trade appears to have so completel:
holders, that the latter are determined to " clear off",
sacrefice. Cork pickled Butter offering as low as 76s for seconds ;
a point, of depression at which, this favourite article for exportation,
has arrived, in consequence of Ilarnburgh Butter having been per-
mitted to enter in competition with it, in this market—bearing a
brand, " Cork fashion." The character of Cork Butter will no
doubt be maintained in its integrity; upon a comparison with its
Continental opponent in a tropical climate. But in the mean time,
the daw struts with borrowed plinnes, very much to the discom-
posure, and pecuniary loss, of the proprietors of the origianal
" double rose." This is not fair trade. There is positively nothing
doing in Irish Beef and Pork. Fine Bacon selling slolvly at 52,s to
04s. Large lots of States Lard have been sent over to Ireland in
the last few days ;—and they will doubtless make their appearance
again shortly, in regular " Belfast fashion!"

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 7

We have no new feature to notice in our Cotton. market. It
remains very quiet, and inanimate buyers purchase their supplies
from hand to mouth, and in this way 3,500 to 4,000 bales were
.sold
on Saturday. and to-day about 5,030 bales, 109 of which are in good
13oweds for export. This class of Cotton is soon picked up for the
Russian market, and relatively with the lower descriptions, full
prices are realized upon it.
