The Corn trade Is without any Improvement; on
the contrary further depression in the value Of most
articles whilst little business has been transacted
There is also further decline in the value OF Cotton,
and the sales limited. The general aspect OF
commercial affairs the continent continue dull and
unsatisfactory, but in some respects slight improve
mcnt is pcrccptiblc. There is further increase in
the supply of Money, and the rate of interest yet
tends downwards. The state Of trade in the manu-
featuring districts wears a discouragng aspect.
The general tone OF the Cotton trade during the
week now closed has been tame and subducd The
sales confined for the most part 10 the immc-
date wants of the trade, and holders felt rather
DESTROYS OF rcasing prices may be said 10 have re-
coded slightly from the rates last quoted The pre-
sent quotations Of the Committee of Brokers are for
fair Mobile d., and 1 d. for fair Orleans. w may
remark that the accounts brought by the steamship
Cambria, which arrived here on Tuesday last, do
not appear TO have had any effect worthy OF notice.
although il would appear that the period tor low
purchasing at the transatlantic ports had passed
away, at least for the present. The sales OF the past
week 2SS bales more than that of the preceding,
but the imports about 81 ,s26 bales lcss-not more
than II 1872 bales having arrived. According to the
returns, published last evening, the stock OF Cotton
in Liverpool is now estimated at 5ll,IIO bales, be-
ing 1880 bales more than it was at the same time
in 1871.
The extremely fine growing weather which con
tnucs to prevail, exercises very depressing effect
on the Grain trade in all parts OF the United King
dom; and should ii continue for few weeks longer,
until the Wheat plant has passed that critical period
Ol It's Lcnlll-'lnt blossom prices would no ultbl
decline still further. At Mark Lane, on Monday
last, holders of Wheat acccdcd 10 reduction OF to
p. per quarter The selling price Of the best Eng
lsh being quoted ~ 10 Dos, and American at 40 to
ass per quarter On the following day, in Liver
pool, holders OF W heat submitted 10 decline OF TO
Sd. per 20 lbs. Rarrcllcd Flour, although the sup.
ply at this port is very limit d. docs not bring
than Dis. ID TO 2~S., day paid.
Indian Corn has sustained important fall, white
not realsing more than 81 TO 32s and yellow 81 10
BIS. per quarter. \ few days ago sales were forced
at Is cd. per quarter under the above prices, which
induced increased demand but this slight reaction
in price has checked the business again. The value
of Indian Meal is now quoted at II to las. I'd. The
from foreign ports, amounts TO 1882 qrs. OF Wheat
$50 qrs. Barley, $3.50 qrS. Beans, 5622 qrs. Indian
Corn, and 397 barrels of Indian Meal.
The imports Of cured provisions during the week
Us tres, 10 br. beef; So brls. pork; GIG csks
SIS boxes bacon; 81 casks hams; 523 brls and 1881
kegs lard. The demand in London for American
bacon keeps steady but in the course of the present
week prices were little easier Cheese, being in
limited supply, has risen from to Is. per cwt IN
the same market. At our market, the sales OF beet
since the Sd inst, estimated at HOO tres, the
greater part of which taken by London buyer.
Holders Of this article have therefore manifested
greater irmncss. There is not 50 much inquiry for
Pork. At the usual weekly sales on Tuesday last,
fair quantity Of bacon found buyers, but prices re-
coded / t. =. per cwt. Lard being in good demand,
realized an advance Of Cd. to Is. per cwt,
