Trinidad, at the quotations. Coffee.—The transactions in Planl a.

A very firm feeling pervades the market to-day ; 5000 bale
have been sold at very full prices. Weekly sales 32,601

COTTON MARKET

,-WEEKLY REPORT

The, trade have bought rather freely this Weelc,.and the daily
purchases by speculators, who have almost exclusively confined
their operations to the better qualities of the new crop of American,
have given holders more confidence, and the full prices of last
week have beep currently obtained. Brazil is still offered freely,
particularly Pernambuco, for which lower prices have been sub-
mitted to. Egyptian is without change, but East India barely
maintains last week's quotations. Speculators have taken 6500
American, and exporters 150 American.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DECEMBER 23.
The import duties for the ensuing week continue unvaried
from the rates previously chargeable on foreign Grain and
Flour.

A moderate quantity of Wheat, with a liberal supply of
Oats, Oatmeal, and Flour, have been received here from
Ireland within the last three days. We have also to report,
during that time, a few hundred quarters of Wheat and
Pease, with 5,455 barrels of Flour from Canada, forming the
whole arrivals from abroad; but, coastwise, we have scarcely
any fresh arrivals.

From the close of Tuesday's market, and up to this date,
a tolerably steady feeling prevailed on the part of holders,
with limited sales of the leading articles to consumers, on
terms varying little, if in any degree, from our previous cur-
rency, which appeared to constitute the only features in the
corn trade here claiming any remark during that period.
At our Corn Exchange this morning, foreign free Wheats
continued to be held with increasing firmness, and some
parties required rather higher prices ; but having very few
millers in attendance, and little inclination to purchase, any
decided advance, if obtained, was partial, and the transac-
tions altogether extremely unimportant in amount. Of
English Wheat the supply to-day was trivial, and Irish
moved off slowly, each description remaining unaltered in
value.

Home-made and Irish, as well as States and Canadian
Flour, met a limited demand at late prices.
A serious fire occurred here yesterday morning, in which,
amongst other produce, about 2000 quarters of bonded, and
5000 quarters of duty-paid Wheat were destroyed.
Barley and Malt, upon a slow gradual scale, maintained
our last quotations. Beans and Pease, with scarcely any
inquiry, were the turn cheaper.
Excepting a few retail sales, the Oat trade appeared to
excite no marked attention, and Tuesday's rates were barely
supported. The general price of Oatmeal to-day, was re-
duced to 21s. per 2401b5. for good marks of Irish, at which
from 1500 to 2000 sacks were disposed cf to country buyers

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARkET, DBCEMBEIt 26.
We have had n fair supply of Beasts and Sheep at this day's
market, and prices much about the same as last week. Prime
Beef Sid; middling lid; inferior 3d td 501 prime Wethers 6d to
64d; middling 5 d, sinkaig the GirniL Number of Beasts 1371 ;
Sheep 607.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 26.
The market closed steadily for Butter. last week. without, how-
ever, the transaction of heavy business. A brisk trade is antitici-
pated at the commencement of the new year. There is a specu-
lative inquiry for medium Butters; which, in proportion to the
better descriptions, have ruled latterly ;ery much below their
value. Fine holders of pickled Butter are at pretent disposed to
take under 73s for seconns.—to this price we believe most are
limited. Prime heavy Irish Beef commands full rates, as does also
Pork of favourite brands. We continue to quote the former at
92s 6d to gss per tierce; the latter at 52s per barrel. Bacon 45s to
425. The stock of Colonial Provisions increases, and the demand
is slack.
