COTTON.—Livotroot, APRIL 2. —There bu been •
steady demand throughout the week from the trade ex-
porters also buying freely : the advice, from India
showing a further advance in the prices of goods and yarns
stimulated business' in Manchester to • considerable extent.
Although there is no new development in American affairs
holders of cotton meet the demand pretty freely, without
expecting any material advance on previous rates. ittnerioan
is steady at last week's quotations. Brazil may be quoted dd.
to id. per lb. dearer, and Egyptian is id. to Id. higher for
the middling and fair qualities. The better kinds of Surat
have advanced fully del. per lb. ; the common grades re-
' main without material change. Speculators have taken
8.710 bales, via, 70 American, 220 Peniarn, 230 Maranhao,
290 Egyptian, 100 Smyrna, 7,350 Surat, and 450 Bengal
and there are reported for export 10,900 bales, vis., 540
American, 210 Peream, 290 Bahia, 1.170 Maranhao, 180
Peruvian, 240 Egyptian, 5,230 Surat, 60 Madras, and 3,000
Bengal. To-day there is • good inquiry; probable sales
7,000 bales, of which 3,000 hales are taken on speculation
and for export.

COTTON GOODS. —Ma/warren, Aram 2.—This is
net • regular market day, but still, to-morrow being a
holiday, there has been • desire to anticipate business as
much as possible, both on the part of buyers and sellers.
Sellers of both yarn and cloth are very firm in demanding
the advance of Tusday, but it checks business. In yarns
for India a fair amount of business is reported. There is
rather more confidence on the part of sellers, from feeling
that to a 4reat extent the speculative lots both of yarns and
cloths which have floated on the market from the end of
August have to a groat extent been absorbed for shipment,
owing to the recent heavy bond fide transactions on Indian
account. Hews. Du Fay and Cm in their monthly report
give a return of the cotton textile exports for the mouths
of January and February, as compared with the same
months in 1861 and 1862, which show that the falling
off has been remarkable. The exports of an
kinds of cotton cloths, to all countries was as follows :-
1661, 374,702,781 yards; 1862, 296,053,619 yards; 1863,
172,781.008 yards; the reduction in 1863 being 201,921,773
yards as compared with the same two months of 1861, and
123,272,611 yards as compared with 1882. In cotton yarns
the falling off in the rams time has been 13.798,36.31b5.
weight as compared with 1861, and 6,344,3611 be. as com-
pared with 1862. They observe :—" As the °assumption
of cotton amounts at present to only about ono-third of
what it was in former years, and the home trade is taking
its share of the production of goods, the exports will pro-
bably be restricted to the above proportions, stooks of old
goods being toe great degree absorbed. The felling off in
the experts to Francs in the two months is as follows :
In 1862, 8,532,372 yards ; in 1863, 1,787.470 yards. To
Hoeg Kong the falling of has been more striking still, being
1.861,510 yard. in the two months of the present year,
spinet I.oe million last year, and against 58,887,483 yards
In 1861. In value the exports have increased, being
17,343,7311. in the two months of the present year, sophist
16,750,1141. in 1862.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BAAnrohD, Ana 2.—To-
day's market in pieces has shows no particular feature desert-
isg of sots, and the squitegate of Waned@ does Mace our bet
report hes been exceedingly iosigntilaant. Our hems mat-
chable are not &Mire buyers, though the bade in the ware-
houses wears &lively aspect, sod goods move off tolerably
well. For Free& account the deemed is at present very
limited. The few American buyers who kayo bees here
datioe the week have sot bought mash, and the Gamma
houses, owing to the sear approach of Leirmic Fair, abstain
from operating swept for immediate requirements. Prises
are arm at previous rates. There is very little dimmed for
wool ; the doer descriptions of wool are .till most is de-
mand. Bright-haired sorts are seghiseed. Priem are very
