LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

Malin. T. and H. Littledale, of Liverpool, report in their
Uvular of the 7th :—Tlie transactions in the cotton market
during the last month have been still more extensive than in
April—the sales have ged 25,000 bales per day, and
prices of all American descriptions have advanced fully ltd.
oer lb.—. he rise be. been MOTO rapid than was expected.
The smell stocks here and in America, the continued light
receipts iv the American ports, and the small shipments to
England, have greatly encouraged speculation ; and thiamin
seeing stocks decreasing and prices rising, ha•• operated
very largely—they have taken 47 000 bales per week against
38,090 hales average in 1864. and hold, probably, five weeks'
stock; should the Manchester market not follow, they may,
probably, Day more sparingly, anti keep this market quieter
for a short time. Holders are naturally more disposed to
reedits at the advanced prices; however, the quantity on
cal* is moderate, and the consumption continues as Isviit• as
ever. The thick of American is now 881,420 against 639,070
bales list year, the quantity siliat is only 80,000 Oa.e•
against 120 000, and the stocks is the American ports 370,000
against 804 01,0 last year. L .okii gat these figures, Iv .Iders
think the position of cotton very safe. There is little doubt
bet that the supply of cotton will soon fall abort of the de-
mand, and probably nothing but "short time" era diminution
in the consumption will check the upward tendency olprices.
According to the lat at accounts from America, the riven
continued low, and there was little or no pros: act of
a rise to bring down the cotton detained in the interior;
prices had kept about io. in advance of the prices here, and
the quantity shipping was extremely small, so that the
increase in the shipments to Great Britain, which was
124,000 bales in February last, and now 28,000 bales, would
not only disappear, but that there would be a decrease of
shipments compared wi h last year. East India cotton has
been in very good demand, and prices of Borate here ad-
vanced searly Id. per lb sines the beginning of last month;
the high prices of low American, light imports, and mode
rata shipments have stimulated epeculation, and the sales
daring the month amount to 89,700 bales-60,400 bales on
(speculation, 8,800 for export, leaving 30,700 bales to the
trade. The stuck it this port is 115,200, against 207.8001
ales last year. Quotations: Middling, 41d.; fair, 41.1.;
nod and fine, 6d. to 6id.

COTTON.—Livitaroor., Jona B.—The accounts brought
by the Asia, wbicn arrived here on Saturday, of the state
and prospects of the cotton market in the United States
' prodoned a most powerful effect upon this market on Mon-
day. Not only were the wade in considerable attendance
on that day, but speculat,.n seemed to know no bounds.
The lamenn business that had been done in the previous
fortnight. 300,000 bales, at an advance in American desc►ip
tioas of Id. per Ib , so far from satisfying the most active
movers, seemed to lay 'mind for further proceedings; and
accordingly the emote; of business t►ansacted on that day
was probably greater th..n on any day during the late move
meat. The sales were estimated at 35,000 bales, at an ad
vanes on the quotation of Friday of Id. to 111. per 10. Since
that time, without any change in th, circumstances govern
ing the value of cotton, the buying has ceased, or lather
moderated, to 5,000 to 7,000 bb. a day, and nearly half of
the advice. ob. aired on Monday teat has been lost. We
now quote middling " Uplands, 8 9.16 d.; Mobile, 611.;
and Orleans, 614. Toe committee of brokers place " lair "
Uplands at 7d.; Mobile, 7d.; and Orleans, 7td. Perhaps'
we might remark that the most favourable weather which
we are now enjoying, and the good promise it holds out for
tee harvest, has a direct bearing upon our well doing, both
orseent and prospective. 43,630 American, 60 Madras,
17,200 Surat, 1,200 Egyptian, 280 Penmen, 260 Maranhao),
end 400 Bahia, are reported to have been taken on specula-1
tion ; 1,060 American, and 1,470 Surat, for export; so that

41,900 hales. Sales of the week 107,320 bales. Salsa to-
day 10,000 baled.
