LIVERPOOL. Aug. 23.-For about a week az
Ter the departure oftbc liverpool steamer. ist inst.
q large business was done in our Cotton market, pro
was followed by six or eight dull days, in which tie
rates declined about 1d-but in the present week
we have again bad a good and extensive demand. at
prices about III higher. so that our pr seut rates may
be considered ID per ID. above those of The lsr INST.
Far qualities may be quoted 7dd7ad per ID.
For this last improvement we are mainly indebted
TO the export demand. as The operations of the con-
sutners alone would be scarcely sufficient 10 keep
the market steady, since they continue for the most
pari TO buy little beyond the supply OF present
wants, which ltbough they are gradually increasing
their working tine) is still much below The average
consumption Of last year.
The pressure IN the money marker has not dimln-
ished in the least. The Bank Of England. on the
fst instant, advanced its rate Of interest To 6 per
cent, and has since continued TO cuffiil its dis
counts. and there seems lule reason 10 expect ef-
fectual relief from This pressure so long rs any fears
are entertained Of further foreign supplies of Grain
being required, which must depend upon the wealth

The sales OF cotton for The week ending 9th in
slant, amounted TO 81 ,00S bales-for that ending 10th

The weather FOR three weeks has been variable.
but on the whole much more favorable Cor the crops
and the harvest than the latter part of fast month and
there ~ Ear less excitement and uncasiness on tha,
score HAN WAS then felt. The most general impression
is that moderately good weather for u month TO
como would insure full average crops but much de-
ponds on this.
The duty on Flour is now reduced 10 6s. 81 per

uncomfortable, but they are very dull and business
is nearly suspended nj present.
Flour, duty paid, may be quoted al 3Ss per brl,
selling only in Il retail way. The weather is now
particularly fine,
In Tobacco there is little business going for

hands al tnll prices. The home ttade do no, bux
freely, being disposed to wait till the bnlk of the new
crop from Virginia and Kentucky arrives from The
former place the quality turns out very ipd lfcren,,
and will likely sell AT low prices but nom the latter
the assortment is pretty good. .
