LIVERPOOL, July 10.
! Corn, 8'c.-The transactions going forward in this
market since previous report are limited, and
there is not any buOyancy in the trade. The market
held Oh the 18th well attended, and there was a
fair demand for Wheat at the advanced rates OF the
9Th. The sale of Oats quite in retail. In Bar
ley, Beans and Peas, there no material change,
and but little doing In Indian Corn Meal there
very little doing. Oatmeal IS per load lower. On
the opening of the market the advanced prices Of the
9th generally demanded for Flour; but the sale
was slow, and before the close rather less money
was taken. 3Gs. Cd. was established for Western
Canal, being Is per brl. above the currency of that
day week. On the 10th, there good attend
ancc of country milcrs, directing their enquiries
partly to good qualities OF English and Foreign

cline of 3d. per 10 lbs. from the rate OF the l4th.
tolcralc amount OF business transacted at that
abatement. Flour, on the contrary, was in more
limited demand than usual, although willingly ocr

days rates. Western brands scarcely exceeding

Since the 10TH little business has been transacted,
and the top price Of the best WcstcTn Canal Flour Is

the sale is very dali even at these reduced rates.
COttOn.-RcpOn for the Week ending JiRy 10
The packet of the LIST inst. from Boston, arrived
here on Tuesday last. The accounts brought by her
partakc much of the same character as former adj
vices. The deficiency in the receipts still continues
the difference now being 277, 200 bales less than the
corresponding period OF last year The crop qucs-
ton is now an asccrtaincd point; all parties agree
that 100000 bales will be the full quantity. In
the carly part Of the week the demand continued
moderate, and the market was somewhat dull; but
since Tuesday an extensive business has been done
for export especially in Pcrnambuco and the better
qualities Of American; the latter has recovered the
decline Of ID. per lb. noticed last week. Brazil and
Egyptian have advanced ID. per lb. while Snrat is
without change. Spectators have taken 500 Amer
lean, 200 Pcrnambuco 600 Egyptian and 1900 Sarat;
and exporters $500 American, 200 PcrnambUcO,
and 700 Surat. Sales for the week amount TO 40 100

healthy demand, and all parties engaged i'll the trade

produced stocks therefore are not increasing Scotch

tween the masters and their mem many furnaces arc

PrOrisjOHs-A HGic0n-Bacon has been in large
supply, especially short Middlcs, rib in, via New
Orleans, many parcels Of which have come to hand
heated and discolorcd, TO the great prejudice Of
lue. We reduce our quotations Is to Is. per cwt.,
and at these rates sales progress slowly in inferior
parcels, while fine eastern cure is wanted and would
still command extreme prices The import Of Amer
Bacon into Liverpool, for the half year ending
Both ultimo, has been - ,629 cwt With imports Of
Beef much below those of last year, holders firm
at our existing quotations, but which are rendered
almost nominal by the operations Of dealers being Of
limited character, owing to the large proportion Of
vessels which have supplied themselves with stores
at the American side. We have no arrivals of
States Butter, and the Canadian parcels as yet
light. Irish continues to be in large supply and the
extreme quotation for such has receded TO 92s., pre-
sent prices ruling from SOS. to 92s. The arrivals Of
Grease Butter continue TO be limited and lO3 casks
Of extra quality, brought 4gs. to 4gs. Cd per cwt.
Hams, smoked or dried, continue to be neglected.
OF Hams in salt or pickle, the arrivals have been
large, and the demand limited Lard has declined
in value since last, the demand during the warm
weather being limited. Pork continues to be in lib
cral supply, and from ship store dealers the demand
is still of limited character Mess strips only have
met with enquiry, principally for Ireland, and fine
parcels Of new have realized as much as is. per
barrel.

land, expectation and home use; the larger proper
| ton taken for the Latter.
! Uool.-Thcrc has been done in foreign this
month than for some time previously. There is no
change in prices, but the trade purchase with more
confidence, at the time there is no disposition
to ovcrtock themselves, expecting that any advance
in prices will be gradual for time to come. In
domestic not much has yet been DONE but far pri-
have gone higher than expected, but it seems
doubtful if this will be maintained when the opera
tons are on a larger scale.
