left Liverpool 18th inst. The accounts by her
reached this city Wednesday night, and were
published next morning. The growing crops
throughout England and Ireland gave great promise
Of abundance, and early harvest. The Potato
disease, if any existed, excited alarm. The
weather all that could be desired but the heat
had been excessive. Cotton, with the weeks sales
of $4,000 bales, had further advanced ID, but at
close the demand was not active. The market
for Breadstus was generally dull, and prices barely
supported Indian Corn had declined Cd. to Is.

price has been obtained for about 500 brls. of June
inspection, while fresh ground from old wheat has
readily commanded 5aS5.121. The weeks sales
summing up probably $500 brls. The price for City
Mills has also advanced, owing to the continued
frmness with which Wheat is held, and the low
stage of the streams which prevent millers from
completing their engagements. Sales early in the
week made at 5.124, part from Wheat,
and subsequently contracts have been entered into
with shippers at S5.25 The weeks operations have
been only moderate, but to what extent we are not
prepared to say. A lot of 500 brls Harper's Ferry,
from wheat has been sold to be delivered next
week at s5.25. We have no transactions in Rye
Flour to report. The supply of Corn Meal is very
lipht. and only about 2() brls Country could be
found on sale which taken at 2.S14 a s2S74,
