LIVERPOOL CoTToS MARKEr, Oct. "a.
We have passed dull week in cur Cot.
ton Market. Occasionally a little invest.
ment on speculation has taken place. and
gwen momentaTy interest to our pro.
ceedings; but the demand for the most
part has been confined TO small parcels for
immediate consumption. Ii was geBer-
ally understood that the Manchester mar.
ket also, On Tuesday last, especially for
manufactured goods was dull aud heavy.
Yarns and the Spinning trade were much
as before. TIE effect OF this continued
duIuess upon our prices has been to re-
duce long stspled descriptions such as
Brazil and Egyptian, Id per pound, and
the market for American must likewise
be considered a point lower; still, when
we compare the actual business now do
ing, with that which was done fortnight
ago. we find difficulty in reducing the
scale ofthese kinds. Possibly an increas-
ed demand might induce the holders to
throw their stocks upon the market for
sale. which at present they seem reluctant
to do. $500 American have beer taken
on speculation. The total amount of sales
for the week was IL $40 bales.
LONDON Conn MARKET, Nov. 3.--The
supply Of wheat this morning from Essex
Kent and Suffolk, was pretty good; little

sequence OF the uncertainty ss TO what
steps government will take respecting the
Corn laws. The sales effected were at
decline Of %. per quarter; bonded was
held at previous rates, but did not meet a
brisk inquiry.
LIVERPOOL Corn MARKET, Oct. 81
The duty on Foreign Wheat is reduced
this week TO los. that on Oats to SIS. on
Pease to Is Sd per quarter, and on Foreign
Flour to 9s It'd per barrel. Since our
report Of Tuesday last we have received
fair supply Of Wheat from Ireland, but
of other products thence the arrivals are
very unimportant, those coastwise being
extremely highland the imports from
abroad, fresh in for to day, are chiefly con.
fined to about 1000 quarters. Wheat
from the Baltic and Mediterranean, with
I2,253 barrels Of Flour from the United
States and Canada. Under the expecta.
ton Of Ministerial interference by means
OF an carly abolition or abatement OF duties,
the Corn trade generally within this day
or two has been IN a state Of uncertainty,
the holders OF free Wheat desiring, though
not maniesting undue anxiety, to sell;
while those of bonded have been fully
alive to the probability of further i'm.
provement IN the value of their stocks.
Beyond floating cargo or two, little has,
however, been done since Tuesday,
whether in free or bonded produce gener.
ally no alteration IN prices was obseyva.
Bile. Being still in suspense as to the ex.
act measures which Government may de-
eide upon relative to the future rate Of
duties, our market this morning was ex.
tremely inanimate, entirely precluding
any extensive operations, and depressing
in some degree the value ofnearly oil free
articles Of the trade. 10 the lew limited
sales of wheat which took place, decline
OF I'd per 70b. was conceded; and sack
-four receded Is per 2s0lb. whilst Cana
dian, though equally dull, continued to be
held at late prices. Indian corn being
nearly withou: inquiry, was nominally
cheaper. Oats and Oatmeal, participating
in the general langour of the trade, the
former was offered at I'd per 45lb. ant
the latter % M o1(lh below the curreat
rates OF Tuesday. Notwithstanding the
depression in the free market, bonded
Wheat and Flour were held with frmness
at somewhat higher prices, at which
however, no sales OF moment transpIred
