The L.iYerpooI Markets.

! We copy from Robert Loekhart s. Dempster's
circular the following report of the Liverpool
markets on the 10th of November:
! CoTroS.-rhe cotton market during the past
week has been exceedingly dull. The growing
| depression in Manchester, which has at length
| necessitated the general adoption by producers
| of the short time movement, has materially de-
creased the demand for cotton and caused holders
| to supply the market more freely than Of late.
The absence of any advicss Of killing frost in
America, with the increasing stocks in the ports,
and the decline Of prices at New York from 401%
cents TO S5Ia cents have also contributed to the
general dizziness and caused good deal of cot
ton held on American account to be put on the
market. There has been moderate demand for
American cotton, and prices must be quoted I'd
to 20 per N lower than on this day week, the
medium and higher grades having experienced
the greatest decline. Sea Islands have not been
much inquired for, but the prices of this day
week have been generally maintained. Egyptians
have declined Id TO I'D e H., and other long sta
pies must be quoted fully I'D per ID lower. East
India and other short st6pled descriptions have
been extremely dull, and with very small de-
mand prices have declined about Id per ID. The
sales for the week amount TO 1920 bales. incud-
ing 1880 bales of American, Of which $3.50
bales are to the trade, $40 on speculation, and
lD990 for export. Actual export II $40 bales.

MANCHEsrKR MARKET.-The depression which
has been the chief characteristic of this market
for some time past, has increased to such eX-
tent that producers in most of the manufacturing
districts have been, at length, compelled to cur
tail their production by restriction of the hours
of labor, amounting generally to two days per
week. So far, this has caused no improvement
in prices. which continue steadily to decline. To-
DAY the market is extremely dull and irregular.
MONEY MARKET.-COntinual stagnation in
trade and steady increase of the stock Of bull
lion in the Bank of England. cause an easy mo-
ney market and the rates of discount for first
class paper stll keep below the bank minimum
Of per cent.
GRAIN MAREET.-The country markets during
the past week have been generally very firm at
some advance in prices. Here the amount of
business passing have not been large. but the !
tone Of the market has been strong. and prices |
have continued steadily to advance. In wheat |
fair business has been done, and prices must be |
quoted ID TO Sd per GENITAL dearer for some des- |
'riptions. Flour has been only in poor demand, |
lut holders have obtained Cd TO is per sack and 1
jarrel advaBce upon last weeks prices. Indian 4
'orn has been much inquired for, and prices have
advanced 80 to IS Sd per $50 Tbs on the week. /
The weather for some days past has been exceed
Ogly wet and bOisterOus.
