THE COTTON EXPORTATION PROM
LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, Tussuar.
Previous to the receipt of the late pacific news
from America large quantities of cotton were sent from
this port to the United States, and as the vessels chartered
for this trade were principally steamers, the freights were
seoseserily high, befog about 2d. per lb. sad 10 per cent.
printsge. However, after the receipt of this peaceful
news, the freights per steamers suffered a speedy sisellaa,
and dropped down to ld ; mid se this rate will eat aciin:
number of steamers, which had been pissed in
berths, were at once withdraws.
The steamship leftism, Captain °shoals, left this pert ce
Monday morning, having on board about 2,000 basset cotton,
and unless the -feelings of the United States towards Eng-
land assume • much more hostile form, in fakes the ex-
portation of cotton to the Federal ports of the United
States from this country will be principally by slam yes-
eels, the rate of freight by which averages shout id. par lb.,
or l3s. 6d. per bale. Owing, however, to the tendency
towards decline in America sad the rise in prices in this
country, there is every prospect that for the future the
ac its of cotton will be very limited.
We may here state, in reference to the cotton, said to be
about 4,000 bales, collected by the Federal troops at Port
Royal, and sent to New York in the Vanderbilt, that when
cleaned and prepared for 'phasing it will only amount to
about 700 balsa

MARKETS.

oarroN GOODS.

MANCHLSTER, JAN. 21—There is nothing doing in yarn;
and prices are easier wherever spinners asa sell, but there
is in fact no demand to test the market, and business is quits
at a dead lock. The tone of the market is decidedly weaker
since Friday. Prior are not quoted lower, but spire are
more anxious to sell, and practically their terms use less
firm than they were last week. The immediate cause of
depression in yarns appears to be the flatness in the Liver-
pool cotton market. The cloth market is also flatter and
more gloomy than it was on Friday, and where there is any
change in prioss, it is ia favour of the buyer. Sales are ex-
asediugly difficult to makes and the mama unfavourable
report must be made of all kinds of goods.
There are telegrams to band from Calcutta up to the
31st nit., sad from Bombay to the 2nd and 3rd inst., which
speak of a little more business, but at lower prima The
market there is, of course, iv/blamed by the news of the
recent difficulty with America, and we may expect still
worse accounts of business there for some weeks to maw
Under these circumstances *xylem* little business car

he dame bore an Indian SOKlllak Tlie transactions ln shirt-
impel Indiarnakes areomillned *safe* forced sales, and wires
seise are forced the price is Id. per piece lower than bit
Tuesday. The Indian tariff ea cotton goods, to which we
called attention in Friday's report, is to be made the subject
of public action here. A memorial was placed upon
our Exchange for signature this morning, calling upon the
mayor to convene a public meeting, at the
Town-hall, on au early day, for the purpose of
memorialising government and petitioning parliament for
the early removal of the protective duties of 10 per cent. as
all cotton goods, and of 5 per cent ou all cotton yarns (now
levied under the Indian tariff), when imported into British
India, "and which duties (say the memorialists) we regard as
diametrically opposed to the principle of free trade, and
operating most injuriously on the mercantile, manufac-
turing, operative, and other classes who are interested in
the cotton trade of this country." The returns from Captain
Palo of the state of employment in Manchester show a
further resort to short time. In the cotton mills alone there're
15,231 hands on abort time this week, against 13,433 ; and
2,121 people out of employ altogether against 1,738 last
week. The total number of people on short time in Man-
cheater, this week, in cotton mills, dyeworks, printworks,
&c.. is 14.805 against 12,506 last week, being an increase of
2,219. The total number out of employ his increased from
6,222 Lot week to 6,529 this week.

COTTON.—lavrafoot., JAL 21.—We hare had more in-
quiry to-day for cotton, with& steady market. The salsa are
4,000 bales, including 3.600 American, 91. to 14d. ; 300
Surat, 8.1. to 10id. ; 100 Eaptian, 15d. to 17d. ; of which
3,000 are for speculation and export. The week's import is
7,256 bales.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lams, JAN. 21.—We have to
report • very quiet market t,i-day in both halls ; only •• very
limited quantity of goods changed hands, chiefly Manaus ;
prices, however, continue firm. The bulk of the goods in
demand are now delivered direct at the merchants' ware-
houses, so that the halls are not at all times a fair criterion
of the actual state of the trade. Still there can be no
doubt that things are far from being buoyant. There is
already a great amount of " jobbing" going on, even in
seasonable fabric'. This causes naturally much uncertainty,
and renders it difficult to do a regular and remunerative
trade.

MANI? FACTU RE4 —HootamePlJU,, JAN. 21. —The im-
provement noticed last week has been sustained to-day. A
few more London buyers hare been and operated rather
more freely in the better classes of woollen and fancy goods.
Stocks on hand, however, are still heavy, but, from the
feeling evinced, strong hopes are entertained of a good
spring trade.

WOOLS.—HUDDIMMULD. JAI. 21.—The demand for
wools is becoming more dethy, sad a seediest* quantity is
moving off, more especially he colas/ids. Pries' continue
without chases.

today. Subjoined are the cloning rates :—Spot, 475. 9d. to

CORN.—Hocc, J. to-day's market a
moderate supply of English wheal, which sells readily at

not operate freely at this improvement. Barley supports

with only retail demand. The foreign Import. last week

LIWIRPOOL, J. 21.—This morniag's tnarket has been
Tory largely attended by town and country mitten saki
&shim and • healthy consumptive bwiiores has been d.r
in both wheat and flour at an advance of 2d. to ikl. yea

Lutz, JAL 21—We have an improvement in the weather,
and it is now frosty, with an eesterly wind. At our Corti
Exchange this day we were moderately supplied with
wheat from the growers ; the condition being better, so
improvameot of la. per qr. was readily realised. Barley,
both malting and grinding samples prime without change.

NERCASTIA JAN. 21.—The weather continues quite Of a
wintry character, there being a alight covering of snow ~,,
the ground. At our market this morning we had a mode.
rate show of wheat from the growers, and although the ar-
rivals since Saturday have been unimportant, very little
changed hands, the firmness of holders tending to check
business. Flour bad rather more tone, but sales did not
proceed freely. Malting barley, unless fine, neglected ;in
grinding little business done ; and the same remarks will
apply to other articles.
BALIBBORT, JAL 21.—At to.day's market there was rather
a limited supply of wheat, and although there was not a
large attendance it sold well; the market was firm, and the
very best samples made in some few instances ls. per fir.
more money. Flour unaltered. Choice samples of barley
were in request, and maintained very full terms, while
secondary samples were the turn cheaper. Malt was in
steady demand, and prices firm. In other descriptions of
grain we have no material change to notice. Wheat, 564
Ito 6bs. Barley, 28e. to 40s. Oats, 245. to 345. Beans, 4th.

CATTLE.--Swenuirr, JAW. 21.—Our market to-day
was shortly supplied with beasts and the quality was
rather indifferent ; the attendance was also short, which
mused the trade to rule dell, and prices were a SAW
eager, and many remained unsold at the close of the
market. A very limited number of sheep were penned, all
of which found ready buyers and which generally realised
former prices. There were • few pens of good wetbem
which sold at • small advance. In Ogres very little
businees wow transacted. The pig market was well supplied
with all descriptions of stock, and sold well at former
quotations. Best ox beef, Us. 6d. to us. per score; cow
and heifer ditto, 10s. 6d. to Ils. ; best Down mutton, Bd.
