COTTON.—ltyr_itroor., Maim 18.—The market has
presented an active appearance. the demand from both the
trade and exporters having been daily to a considerable
extent, and stimulating the operations at Manchester, baa
given much more confidence generally. American can hardly
be quoted any dearer, but Brazil are advanced about id. pr
Ib., while Egyptian bas commanded great attention at a
rise of fully liL to I id. per lb. The low qualities of Surat,
which were previously so much depressed, have risen I Id.
per lb. ; the medium classes are Id. per lb. advanced,
while the better qualities are without material change. The
arrivals of China are considerable, and consequently that
description is of difficult sale, except at a reduction of id.
to id. per lb. Speculators bay, taken 15,280 balsa ; ex-
porters, 11,250 bales; and the bode, 49,420 bales of all
kinds. To-day the business continues animated, the sales
being 10.0)0 bales, of which 4,000 are for export and specu-
lation. The following are the official quotations : mid-
dling Orleans, 2i ; middling Uplands, 1:64d. ; middling

COTTON GOODS—MANCHESTER, MAICH 111.—The
animation displayed fur some days past in the Liverpool
cotton market has reacted upon business here. Cotton is be-
ginning to come in more freely at Liverpool. and the arrivals
for some weeks past have included 6,000 to 8,000 bales of
American. The total receipts this week have reached
53,114 bales against sales to the extent of 19,000, of which,
however, only 31,000 have been purchased by home con.
sumen, but still very full prices are maintained. The
action of the Liverpool market upon yenta in Man-
chester continued from Monday afternoon to yesterday
evening ; and for shipping qualities there was a good bust.
noes dose daily ; but to-day, in consispieues of discouraging
anoints from Bombay and Calcutta, our market has as-
sumed a much quieter tone. Spinners, however, having
sold rather largely, are not disposed to yield in price, and
appear to think they will be able to bold up present values
till present sontescts (now somewhat extensive) have been
worked out. In borne trade yarns we have also had a eau
market, with fine ed. to Id• per lb. higher than Lin week.
To-day, however, there has been a check in these aa an other
yarns. The cloth market continued to exhibit the more
cheerful feeling reported on Tuesday up is this morning,
and though there was not much demand for soy descrip-
tions of fabrics at the rates asked by sellen, buyers seemed
at least more disposed to execute the orders they have
on baud, and would willingly have given the terms of last
week. Today the advice* from India have considerably
modified thi. disposition, and we have had a quiet market,
with very little busloads. We cannot quote any actual
improvement its prices as compared with the rates current
on Tuesday. Manufacturers hold firmly to their quotations,
being still hopeful of ultimately realising the value of their
goods, but buyers, as a rule, appear quite averse to engag-
ing in any operations of magnitude in the present aspect
of affairs, sad with the sluggish demand at present ex-
' for nearly all markets. The telegrams from
edit above adverted to are dated Bombay 29th February,
Calcutta. 27th. At Bombay yarns were ld. to 2d. per lb.
lower. Cotton had fallen Pd. per lb. • and shinings had
declined Is. per piece. At Calcutta cloth was doll, and
prices weaker • and yarns had declined 3d. par lb. Ex-
change was higher at both places.
