LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Due. G.

The demand for Cotton to-day is very fair, and the market;
wears a very healthy aspect ; about 3,000 bales sold at full
prices.

COTTON MARKET, DECEMBER 8,

The report of our market cannot be couched in terms quite so
satisfactory as of late, and the real position is this. At this season
of the year, holders generaly are anxious to close their accounts,
and thus more Cotton is brought into the market than the demand
requires. Spinners aware of this, keep aloof, and only purchase
sparingly, thus they are enabled to supply themselves on rather
better terms than last week, for although the market appears quiet,
and the daily amount of business does not exceed 2500 to 4000
bales, yet there is a healthiness of tone about it that gives con-
fidence to all parties of a general return to a good and re-
munerative trade.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
DECEMBER 8, 1842.
In consequence of contrary winds, the arrival of Potatoes into
port, has only been limited since our report this day week, whieh
has in some instances enabled sellers of the best descriptions of
Cups to realize an advance of is per 901 b above our last quotations,
although this is not acceded to by our large town retail buyers,
they being enabled to lay in their stOcks on lower terms from our
local markets for farm produce, and from the neighbouring county
of Cheshire, which materially checks the retail sale at this quay.
There is not one single cargo sold during the past week for re-
shipment into the interior.
The best run of Cups are selling, in retail, at from 14d to 15d
middling descriptions, lad to 14d; and inferior, lid to 123 d per goib.
There has nothing worthy of notic occurred in our local markets
for the past seven days.

LIVERPOOL CORN EX RANGE DECEMBER G.
The arrivals here since this day week, consist chiefly of a
limited supply of Wheat, Oats, and Flour, and a further large
increase of Oatmeal from Ireland, those coastwise being still
very small. During 'the same period, the imports from
abroad comprise merely, 2,300 qrs. of Wheat, and 1,780 qrs.
of Beans from Egypt, 35 qrs. of Wheat, and 100 bags of
Flour from Valparaiso; with 100 qrs. of the former, and
2772 barrels of the latter from Canada.

Although we have to report a slender attendance of coun-
try millers at this day's market, a moderate quantity of
foreign free Wheat was disposed of to our local buyers at the
rates of last week ; and prime samples of Irish, in the face
of short supplies at hand, partially realised a slight tempo-
rary advance; good fair runs, however, being offered at late
prices, we are hardly justified in raising our quotations for
these descriptions, especially as farmers' Wheat, of which
the show was more abundant than usual, met a dull sale at
a decline of 2d. to 3d. per 70 lbs.
English and Irish Flour, upon a limited demand, was ra-
ther cheaper, and foreign, moving very sparingly, hardly
maintained former prices.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule in much
the same languid state as described in our last report, and to
effect sales beyond a retail amount, rather lower terms must
have been conceded.
The Oat trade being less buoyant than on Friday, superior
qualities alone supported our last currency, all other sorts
giving way a little in value.
In Oatmeal, likewise, the operations to-day were by no
means extensive, but holders remaining firm, the rates of
this day se'nnight were unvaried.
