WORCESTER HOP MARKET, JAN. 7.
Par market remains very dull, Dot one pocket of 1-10pS having
passed the scales since our last.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 10.
At this day's market we have had a fair supply of Beast and
Sheep, which were sold about our last quotations. Prime Beef 6d
to 6id ; middling sid to 6id ; prime Wethers 7d to 7id ; Ewes did
per lb. sinking the offal. Number of Beasts 1226; Sheep 3953.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 10.
The present hard weather, it would appear, is a sufficient in.
centive for holders of Butter to demand advanced prices. The
market is very firm to-day, and the currency may be rated fully 25
to 3s per cwt. dearer. Fine Butters are very scarce.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JAN. 7.
We had a large supply of Wheat and Barley to-day, but moderate
of other grain. The demand for Wheat continues exceedingly
languid, and even at a reduction of full Is per quarter, our millers
bought very sparingly, selecting only the best samples of old and
new. Fine malting Barley supported late prices, but inferior
samples were Is per quarter cheaper. Oats, Beans, and Peas sold
in small quantities at rather lower prices, but to have effected ex-
tensive sales a considerable reduction must have been submitted
to. Shellings I s per load lower.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 7.
Our market to-day was moderately well, hut not to say heavily,
supplied with Beasts, the general quality of which was very prime.
The weather being favourable to slaughtering, and the attendance
of buyers numerous, the Beef trade was firm, and Monday's ad-
vanced rates were well supported. From Scotland we received 100
Scots and 200 Sheep. There was a fair average number of Sheep
in the market, which was cleared off at an early hour on full as
good terms as of late. The veal trade was animated at an advance
of fully 2d per sib. Neat small Porkers sold readily, but in other
kinds next to nothing was passing. Mulch Cows sold at from £l6
to £2l each. By the quantities of Sibs sinking the offal.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 7.
The Wheat trade continues exceedingly flat, and several parcels
of English are left unsold, for which Monday's prices were asked.
Foreign is completely neglected and scarcely a transaction has
taken place ; there is some inquiry for bonded, but the holders will
not give way in prices, consequently nothing has been sold.
Barley is unaltered in value, Peas and Beans go off slowly. The
great decline in Oats has produced a better demand, and the trade
has recovered the heaviness of Wednesday, and in some instances

a trifling advance has been realized.
ARRIVALS THIS WEER.—English Wheat, 3,060 qrs; Barley
8,310 qrs ; Oats, 1,790 qrs; Flour, 6,140 sacks. Irish Wheat,
qrs ; Barley. qrs ; Oats, 4,330 qrs. Foreign, Wheat, 1,000 qrs
Barley, qrs; Oats, 1,3000 qrs; American,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 7.
The duty has advanced this week to 16s. 10d. per quarter
on Barley, to 15s. 3d. on Oats, and 12s. 6d. per quarter on
Beans and Pease respectively, continuing unchanged upon
other Grain of Foreign importation, as well as upon all
British Colonial produce.
We have a scanty supply of most articles into this port
during the last three days, with the exception of Malt, of
which there is a fair quantity coastwise ; the only foreign
arrivals consisting of 2600 qrs Wheat, chiefly Mediterra-
nean, and 1200 qrs Beans from Alexandria.
Beyond a very limited retail demand, restricted princi-
pally to purchases of Wheat and Flour by our local dealers,
we have scarcely any business to report in free produce be-
tween Tuesday last and to-day ; and speculation in bonded
Wheats appears to be nearly suspended for the present,
there being no longer any eager disposition to invest at the
rates previously quoted.
Our market this morning was but indifferently attended
by either town or country buyers, and with no lively
symptoms in any department of the trade, •all descriptions
of English, Irish, and duty paid Foreign Wheats, con-
tinued to meet a very limited sale to our home millers ;
and very few further parcels having been taken for Ireland,
our previous currency was barely sustained : one cargo of
wheat, however, on the passage from Ancona, was reported
as disposed of, to be delivered here in bond at 7s. 6d. per
701bs.
Flour also, was generally in slow request, and scarcely
maintained late prices.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, still commanding ver
little notice, hardly retained the reduced rates of Tuesday.
Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of country demand,Y
continued to meet an exceedingly dull sale, and exhibited a
slight tendency to decline in value.

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. Thc 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 500 American► and 250 Surat, and Exporters 200
American and 100 Surat.
