Extract of letter from Liverpool, dated
LIVERPOOL, July IS, 1910.
Allow US to refer you to our price cur
rent Of 21st ulrimo, and again to renew the
same, with few remarks applicable TO the
present state of this market.
/" For ashes it has been very heavy and
dropping one; the arrivals OF old crusted
ashes have been great, and having been
pushed off Immediately at any prices they
would command, have engaged almost ex-
clusive)y the attention of the consumers !;
besides, we are without any export vent,
as heretofore, and prices in consequence are
not likely to improve at present.
In Cottons, as remarked IN our preced-
ing advice, here was a very brisk market,
ana which continued until about twelve to
fourteen DAYS ago, when sudden depres-
sion took place, owing to the failure OF some
considerable London houses largely con-
necled in pecuniary matters with the cotton
manufacturing districts; the embarrass-
ments occas:oned however have not been to
the extent first apprehended, and confidence
is again reviving; we therefore look tor
returning briskness in the marke: with the
improved prices.
"Grain and Flour have continued in stea-
DIV demand at nearly our preceding quota
tons, and we don't look for prices going
lower than at present. Rice also sells rea.
Oily and fully supports its former currency.
Clover seed is easily bought up by the sPe-
culators, add we look for no decline in
price. Flax seed has also been demanded
Of late, but nothing above 63s. per hid. has
been Obtained. Bark still continues uncsr-
tain.
"The demand for naval stores has been
somewhat brisker of late. Far has fully
supported its former currency; and turpen-
tine has advanced IS. TO Is. per cwt. with
continued demand. Pitch andsrosin have
continued stationary and rather dull. Of
tobacco we have large and accumulating
stock, without any prospect of an adequate
vent; OF course a more depressed, rather
than an improved, sale may be looked for.
"The supplies Of timber hitherto have
been much beyond expectation, and very
considerable additional ones from Sweden.
Norway, and the Baltic, over and above
the regular imports, are expected; the coa.
sequence has been decline in price beyond
what was calculated, and we dom. now
LOOK for any speedy Improvement, but con-
hdent!y eapecsno further depreciatons will
occur. The market is overloaded with
slaves, which are unsaleable, excepting at
a currency little exceeding first cost and
duties.
