iucnced by the uncertainty as TO whether peace will
continue TO be maintained on the Continent Of Eu-
rope and also by recent American adviccs of large
receipts and shipments OF Cotton, buyers operate
cautiously; and as holders of American qualities sup
ply the market very freely, lower prices have been
submitted to. The sales to-day 5000 bales,
with quiet market.

LIVERPOOL, March %, 1919.
Since our last of 9th inst, favorable accounts
have been received from the East India Markets;
but, on the other hand, the unsatisfactory posture
OF political affairs both in the North and South of
Europe, has had adverse tendency trade and
confidence; while later accounts of the continued
heavy reefs OF Cotton into the American ports, still
operate rather against that staple. To-day, there
arc reports which give reason 10 hope that the
renewal of hostilities between Denmark and Prussia
may be avercd. Cotton had further declined Id.
per lb; but since the recept Of the Indian accounts,
has rallied little, and is now considered TO be only
ID. lower than at the departure of the last steamer.

the Corn Markets, and Western Canal Flour is sell
ing at the reduced price of 23s. per brl. This fall
produced some speculation in the article for few
days and advance Of 3abd. per bril-; but 23s. is
