LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening, Aug. "a, 1919.
Money .HdTbet.-Closing prices in London to-
day are-Consols 92s to 92s for money, 922 to 92B
for time. Exchequer Bills AZ to 45s. Premium.
Bacon-The business has been limited to about
$50 boxes at slight reduction ordinary qualities,
but fine are becoming scarce, and holders are firm.
Hams also have been dull of sale, at lower rates.
Shoulders in very little request, and parcels
have been re-shipped to New York
Beef.-The week has passed without any thing of
Importance; sales progressing slowly at the quota
tions and stocks gradually decreasing.
Blttter-At further decline, more business has
been done.
Cheese.-We are still without any fine; ordinary
and inferior descriptions continue dull of sale.
Corn, Sc.-The business of the week has been
marked by great dullness, sales being merely of a
retail character and but for the light stocks OF real
ly good stns, more decided decline in prices would
have resulted, Much of the recently arrived West
Canal Flour is of miserable quality-scarcely
available even for sizing purposes, and quite drug
Good Wheat is scarce. From Ireland the demand
for Corn is very limited, their direct imports being
liberal, and Potatoes cheap. There still some
reports of disease in the latter root, but not of
alarming character. Prime White Corn commands
extreme price from its scarcity. Our market to-day
closed languidly, the weather having been fine for
harvest.
Cotton.-The import this week is STOP bales;
Sales. $685. and present stock 622,9 800, against
0iobUU at same period last year o-laN, the mar
ket is steady and sales 1000 bales. Spectators
have this week taken 81, 900 bales and Export 6,4S0
bales 1t will be seen that the sales of the week
are large and in the early part of it advance of
ID. was obtained, partly owing to the advces
ceived on Monday per @ Europa;' but the demand
having fallen off the last day two, this advance
was lost
Lard-An active enquiry has led to an advance
of Is. to Is Cd. u cwt, and about 1900 tons have
been sold during the week Holders show no symp-
toms of giving way, and offer sparingy.
misunderstanding the low prices accepted
for Western, the demand has been very trivial and
heavy stocks still remaining on hand buyers operate
only in anticipation of a further decline.
Rice-At full prices, there is a moderate request

LIVERPOOL, Aug "a, 1919.
Cotton.-The quotations for Cotton to-day, are
SD for fair Upland and fair Mobile, sgd. for fair
Orleans and s. a SID for mddling qualities, which
are ID. above our last quotations, with the excep
ton of fair Mobile; but the market closes with less
animation than in the early part OF the week. The
sales amount to 66, $50 bales, of which $4,000 to
SPECTATORS and $500 for export, showing that the
consumers have bought on a comparatively mode
rate scale. Trade at Manchester is not active
it has been, the advanced prices having checked
the export demand for Goods and Yarns. The
American descriptions sold consist OF $500 Upland
at Al a Cd 5000 Alabama and Mobile at Ana sgd.
1850 Orleans at A. a Cad; and 100 Sea Island at
SG 1Sd " ID. The import for the same time is
only 800 bales; and the stock in this port is now
estimated at 200 bales of which about 472, 900
is American.
Corn, Sc.-The harvest is now progressing under
favorable circumstances, and much of the Grain is
already secured in the early districts, that
paratively little doubt remains of an abundant pro-
duct. Flour is again rather lower, and parcels OF
good sound Western Canal selling at OBS. Cd. a 24s.
Prime Baltimore and Ohio, 2is. Cd a 25s. and I'M
inspected and heated, 1Ss, Cd a Dos ~ brl. The
market dull and heavy for all descriptions The
spread of disease hitherto in the Potato Crop ap-
pears to be partial, and not to serious extent; but
there is moderate demand for Indian Corn at
ass Cd. a 26s. 3D. - Or, except for unmxed pure
White which is scarce and selling at 2ss a 2Ss cd.
