The Cambria reached Boston at 4 O.
clock on Saturday afternoon. She brings
dates from Liverpool to the 4th Februa-
".
The intelligence is of great commercial
importance. The quotations show a hea-
w decline on all the staple articles, since
the departure Of the Sarah Sands or the
10Th Of January.
The market report is not as clear as
we could wish it. The quotations are
no, given; and it is not stated whether
the decline given is the entire decline
from the sailing of the Sarah Sands, or
only from the 29th-nine days after she
sailed.
1t is to be presumed there was a decline
between the goth and 29th; but our re-
port does not so state. 1t is possible that
the decline given covers the whole period
between the goth of January and the Sd
or 4th Of February. The reader must
Judge.
The range Of Prices for Wheat, Corn
and Flour is about as on the 9Th Of Janu-
ary, at the sailing of the Hibernia.
ENGLIsH MARKErs.-I cannot make
the decline in Flour over 3 shillings ster-
ling, and Corn over 2 shillings per quar-
ter.
Wilmer & Smiths Times, quote Flour
in bond, 80 a 39s., and Corn 6S a 72s.,
the market closed firm.
HAvRE MARKET.-Flour is quoted at
IIavre at 46 a 4G4 francs, in bond.
GRAIN MARKET.
Our report published on the departure
of the Sarah Sands on the Goth ult., left
the two chief markets in England, Liver
pool and London, with a downward ten
dency in prices, and the operations, by
c~onsignees and spectators, have been
much more limited since that day.
The imports have been very extensive,
and although sales have been made, the
stock OF Flour in Liverpool alone is esti-
mated at 100000 barrels, with a CORES
ponding stock of grain.
There Is a prevailing opinion that the
British Corn growers have large stocks.
which, with the temporary suspension of
the navigation laws and the repeal of the
import duty, tend to check the specula-
ton, and will, 1t is assumed, produce a
reaction both in prices and also in the ex-
lent of other operations.
This action was felt in London on the
1st inst, when wheat declined from As.
TO IS. per quarter. At Liverpool, on the
following day, prices fell Is. per quarter
on Indian corn; As. on -four; 2s. per load
on wheat, since the publication Of the
weekly circular on the 29th.
The Cotton market has been in a very
quiet position. Sales are limited in ex-
tent. and prices are rather on the decline.
On the both ult. 5000 bales, including
1000 On speculation, were sold. On the
Isl, 5000 bales changed hands, of which
spectators took 1909.
The business OF the ID was estimated
at 1000 bales. 500 of which was taken
on speculation.
Yesterday We had a dull, heavy mar
ket, with prices for American generally
Cd per ID. lower. Other descriptions re.
main unchanged. Sales amount to abou
$500, 500 bales of which Spectator.
took, $500 American.
The business consisted of 1000 Amer
lean at Gid TO I'D; 200 Egyptian at n
10 I'D: and 900 Surat at AID to Aid.
The market for provisions is steady.
The iron market is not so brisk as las
reported. Further reduced rates hav
been submitted to. Different description
OF pig having fallen, has induced buyer
TO purchase with more freedom. Price
Of manufactured iron continues fully a
high.
