MARKETS•

COTTON.—LrrznvooL, Fin. 28.—Tha market closed
heavily, with little change on Friday's rates. The sales
amounted to 5,000 hales, chiefly American, all being taken
by the trade. 200 Egyptian, 6d. to Bd.; and 10 Sea Islands,
21d. to 2a. 6d.

LivaurooL, March I.—Wool : Since our last monthly
circular, the Wool market has lost none of the buoyancy
which has characterised it for some time, but owing to the
small arrivals, from prevailing easterly winds, less business
has been done' though in most instances at price. in favour
of the seller. Public sales have been progreming in the
metropolis since the 12th ultimo, the attendance has been
good, and an advance established in both fine and low clams
the principal portion of the buyers having been attracted
there, may have caused a diminution of business elsewhere.
Speculative theory is exceedingly injurious to trade, whe-
ther it contributes to a rise or hill fnvalue,therefore we wish
to cheek the undue reports circulating, that the next clips
of English Wool will be found wanting in staple, from
disease contracted In the late rainy seas= ; and warn those
who may place any reliance on a supposition which is as
groundless as worthless. Facts are what ought to be dealt
I with, and such are the only legitimate tests for maintaining
proper value. In the manufacturing districts consumption
still goes onward unabated, though the old complaints are
made, and the only wonder existing among the uninitiated
is, that manufacturers will persist in playing a liming game.
Before we briefly allude to the traesections of the month,
we would say • word to the farmers generally, for
monis time it has been their polity to hold when Wool is
high, and by such obstinacy they reaped a loss; prices
are now high, and will be at clip time, and our advice to all
is, sell at that period ; this proposition is made now, that
they may mender it timely, as we shall make no further
allusion on the subject. All the business for the month
has been by private treaty, no public sales having been
held here. What is recorded is in Turkey fleece, long
Bosnia (to arrive), Russian (to arrive), Egyptian, Cor-
dova, East India, Buenos Ayres; a small lot of Oporto
Sew, Be., fie., and the market very meagrely supplied, the
bulk being held for auction sales on the 4th inst., which
will go off no doubt at the recent rates by private treaty. Low
combing wools continue to be much sought after, and also
clean short white parcels; Buenos Ayres, of the
blanket species, sells freely. Scotch : The transactions from
want of stock, have been limited, but what have transpired,
are at advanced quotations ; trifling sales in laid and white
cheviot ; nothing here in white Highland or Galloway to
offer ; the same may be maid as to cross ; laid Highland is
is goo& demand, and has been sold at 131. to 13s. ed.
English and Irish: A few English fleeces have changed
beads at • further rise, and a parcel of Irish we-
there are slim reported at late rates. Skin is in active
demand, both short and long, end sells as fast as pulled.
Oil : There being a very light stock here and elsewhere, a
good market is evident, from half the stock having found
buyyaerm,, and the rates are higher ; with every prospect of a
deSsiney, it must go up still. A few enterprising MIMI-
-60011111711 are trying new milk, to mix with olive oil, but
hem an analysis we have of both oil and milk, we fancy
there will be some trouble in working the two together.—
Dymond. : A good demand exists for nearly all kinds, and
a mttsamty baldness is going forward without much change.—

a large show of store Cattle' the weather was dreadful in
the extreme, and the trade eially bad : at the close a

Naw Yost, Fan. 15.
Corrine. Prices have declined since the steamer
Africa sailed, with sales ad interim of 5,150 bales The
coarse of prices on this side will for the next 30 to 60 days
be inittented more by the receipts at the ports than by
foreign whims. If, as many anticipate, ourselves included,
that there will be a marked reduction in the excess between
this date and the 16th of April, its commencement will
give firmness, and Its continuance enhance value, even if
met b declines from Liverpool in answer to the unexpected
tarn In receipts advised hence at the close of last month..
Unites the present excess of 516,000 bales is an Index of
crop, which we scarcely think any one in the trade Is dis-
posed to user; it must result from some cause is mama
favouring early arrivals. These MINN we believe lobe, way
rise in southern rivers, continued high waters and prises
ruling satisfactory to planters; and therefore, although the
receipts have continued heavy for a longer time than we an-
ticipated, we are not yet disposed to consider them an index
of the crop which must have been curtailed in its extent by
the same cause which produced early high rivers, namely,
a wet fell, and continuous rains during the picking season.
It is west/ of time, however, at this moment to indulge in
estimates ; the facts on which they should be based are boat
sight of, or disregarded, while the receipts continue heavily
in excess, and prices droop in the absence of a regular de.
mend, as the majority of operators here prefer to wait the
turn in receipts before acting further. An immense con-
sumption, as we before advised, is going on in this country,
and with advancing prices the stocks are everywhere light.
The same we are advised is the case in Great Britain and
on the continent, and a very large crop will therefore be
needed—much larger than the early calculations of the
season—to supply the wants of the world. This is not an
open question, although the extent of the crop is, and must
so continue for the next 30 to 60 days.
