LIVERPOOL, 18th Sept, 1871.
BdcOn-1hc demand continues to be very limited
for all ordinary and qualities, but fine Is taken
freely, at Cos. for extreme price. Becf-Thc
greater portion of stock held consists of inferior quail
tiles, which move oil slowly. For fine, the market
rules firm. BuHG-No arrivals of States; small
parcel of low Canadian sold at 5Gs Cd Grease But
ter has again further advanced in value the season
draws to close, with limited supplies at 5Oa5iS.
Cheese of extra quality continues to be much wanted,
in proof of which, dairy of recent import
brought 5Ss per cwt., but the weight of the arrivals
continues to be most inferior, and salcablc only at
losing prices. Corn, S'c.-Thc absence of supplies
from our farmers, induced by the low prices ruling
during the first week of this month, led to ad-
vance, which has progressed gradually until Sos. has
been paid for Western Canal FlOdr and IS. Sd. to
SIS. Sd. for small parcels of Wheat of extra quality
in fine condition. but Yesterdays market the at
tendance of buyers from the interior limited and
prices manifested degree of weakness obliging us
to say, that our extreme quotations must be under
stood as representing retail sales only and our low
range Of prices those at which business was trans
acted for quantity and it is highly probable that cN
istng rates. with the prospect of turn downward,
will lead 10 home markets being now fully sup
piled. The arrivals continue TO be on an extensive
scale, and during the past week note the imports
of Wheat into Liverpool include IL APO quarters from
foreign European ports alone, while into London the
supplies OF Russian Gram are unusually heavy, so
that, even should shipments from tnc prove
light predicted, still likely to be supplied
extent that will prevent any decided advance
in our markets Indian Corn has sold high 3 Is.
Cd for fine parcels of white with los for fine quail
ties of Eastern white Meal, but at these rates the
demand is very limited while for lower qualities at
proportionatc prices there is a good enquiry. For
Oats, IS. Sd. extreme price Tor the best qualities

27s for Old: Barley in large supply; Peas and Beans

immediate wants OF manufactures, and but slow pro-
grcsS can be made in sales even at our lower range

HdmS-Smokcd unSalcablc: and, for parcels i'll dry
salt, the demand is very limited. Quotations are
quite nominal. Hemp in steady demand. Lara has
continued TO advance: and at our present high figures,
55a5Ss in brls. and kegs, the market has been clear
ed of all recent arrivals Li1tseed Cdke-A small
parcel of fine quality round cakes sold at Is los TO
f9 per ton, and lao brls. Of Lnsced Meal at IS 10
per ton. None now on the market. POrk-But
very few sales have been effected since last, and
these almost exclusively in Mess; other qualities
quite neglected. Rice barely maintains previous
quotations. SeedS-No sales TO report. Tobacco
The advices of brisk business at Virginia. with adj
vancing rates has had no peTccptble effect on our
market. Itvpentine-2000 brs. of good Rough have
sold the improved price of IS. Sd. per cwt., and
for Spirits AS. to los have been paid for small lots,
the demand however not being free at these prices.
Business Generally can only be reported as still
worse, every branch of trade being fcartully de-
pressed, and the failures in London and elsewhere
continuing TO be of serious magnitude, destroying all
confidence, by the exhibition of after another of
the old established and reputcd wealthy houses tum-
bling to RUM with but little reason 10 expect that
the worst has passed. Liverpool continues TO hold its
high commercial position, without failure since our
last; and Notwithstanding its heavy engagements as
the largest shipping port in the world the few fail
urcs which have taken place here within the past
| twelve months would, in the aggregate, amount TO
but a small per centage those of London for the
past month"; STITT, DAY & CO.

Cotton-The continued discouraging character of
the intelligence from England, where the commercial
/ and financial arrangements making further pro-
grcss added the unsatisfactory state of trade in
our manufacturing departments, act a check upon

decline that has for some time past taken place in
! Wheat and Flour, which it may be presumed have
now nearly reached their lowest point the consump
ton of Cotton has been far from rcalsing the antci
pations that had been formed, and that seemed fully
! warranted under the circumstances This morning
