LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening. The sales of Cotton to-day, were about 7,000 bales, including 1,500 on speculation .and for export, the market closing with a quiet tone ; the advance of Id. per lb. on the better class of Bowed, and 1-16 d. on New Orleans realised in the earlier part of the week being barely, maintained. In Brazil and Egyptian no change, and Surats only just support the currency of this day week. Messrs. Edmund Jardine and Co., in their circular of this afternoon, state Our market opened on Monday with a better inquiry than we have experienced for some weeks, and the advices Der Africa beine construed in favour of holders, they were induced to 'be less urgent in offering stoks, thus imparting more tone to the -market, and buyers could not purchase under a slight advance. The continued , good demand of Tue,sday and Wednesday produced greater tightness, establishing an advance of 1-16 d per lb in New Orleans and Mobile, and gd to 3-16 d per lb in Boweds on the low sales of the week previous. Since then a somewhat quieter feeling has prevailed, but pric Surats are slow Of sale and unchanged. The - demand for Sea Islands, Brazil, and Egyptian has been very moderate, and quotations are unaltered. _ _ Messrs. Wright, jtm., and Co., in their circular of this evening, thus notice , the movements of the trade during the week : _ _ . _ . The closing remarks in our circular ad ultimo, reported irregularity as the ruling feature in our Cotton Market. We have since to hand intellimem from America up to the 21st ultimo, and although the receipts at the shipping ports continued on a liberal seal( prices were firmly maintained, and exports were li On th strength of which, and in view of the losses required to be submitted to, in order to make sales here, many holders withdrew their samples from offer, and our market in the early part of the week assumed a steadier aspect. The trade at the same time evinced more disposition to enlarge their purchases, and the resumption of speculative operations to a moderate extent, iously most depressed resulted in a partial advance 01 descriptions. Towards the middle of the week, howeN the animation subsided, offerings increased, and we have relapsed into a state very similar to the feeling existing at the time of .the America's departure. The undefined position of political affairs, the introduction of further foreign loans, , the expectation of large requirements by lb in Am - ericat u • . ,our home government for the' defences of the country, and the warlike ; preparations in progress throughout Continental Europe, are calculated to have an ituortant influence on financial matters, and directly and indirectly sensibly affect the course of trade, which induces a at the opening of Parliament is mill ntiv receivE having no reference to the more immediate cease for distrust, and opinions on the subject of peace or war alternate daily. The total sales of the week, including what has.been forwarded from the ship's side, amount to 70,220.ha1e5, of which 61,1 2 0 are American.
