COTTON coons•

NAT 7.—Th• morket

basbeirith; quiet throughout the week owing to the
check which the ineremed dune for discounts has put upon
all trueectioes of a wasulanve character. The yarn market
has been leer affected than that for cloth, end exporters of
yarn in some cease have mot hesitated to extend their per.
cheese where spioniap could be obtained evadable for
immediate shipments, et very full prices. Home trade
yams are s little weaker for most descriptions ; sad buyers
are much lees disposed to operate. In cloths pikes are
geoerally well sustained at last week's r teamos, but buyers
are extremely cautious, and business tau almost bees "u-
-pended during the last few days. The cotton mr-ket at
Liverpool, if the returns may be relied upon, show exe-
tioncil hem/ purchases during the week, the total being
returned at 98,000 bales, of which 58,000 are said to have
been taken by the trade. The purchases by the trade have
been pretty nniform forborne weeks post at swirly double the
actual requirements of spinners, showing insonnwhat mom
lative spirit usoopt this clam of operator No doubt that
many mills which had keg been standing have resumed
work, either from an inereued deemed for goods or becalms
the owners have been led to believe their lours will be
lighter by working than by keeping their capital idle, or
bemuse they are getting mere unions than they have
been to keep Weer old workpeople from being drafted into
1 other mills. It is estimated that duties the last mix or eight
weeks 4,000 factory bands have been absorbed in other
trades sod 7,000 lieu Isft the district. The camber of
hauls now employed full time ia factories as compared
with March has lammed about 33,003, and is snarly
268,000. The total camber of people entirely out of work
(factory beads) is still 124,800, sad 94,300 are only workbag
short time. It will be evident from these returns that the
present consumption of cotton amain exceed 30,000 to
33,000 bales per week. &ill the production is buys at the

beiog well attended both by manufacturers and merchants.
