COTTON GOODS.—Manctinrarse, JAN. 2.—The tele.
grams from Liverpool announce a heavier business, and
this has led to sellers of cloth asking higher prices. There
has been a good deal of inquiry, but the advanced quota.
Mons check business, and there have been but few tisane.
Lions. The yarn market has been affected much in the
same way, and it is very 'strong, but there have been very
few manufacturers on the Exchange to-day, and cense.
quently but few buyers. In our report of List Friday it
was stated that • second telegram had been received,
stating that 10,000 bales more of cotton had come to light,
making the total excess of actual over estimated stock
100,000 bales. It turns out that this second telegram am
not from an authentic source. The exact figures are—
" Actual stock in Liverpool of all descriptions of cotton,
516,770 bales, being en expose of 90,310 bales more than had
been returned aa the estimated stock." The Cotton Spill.
ners'Association are going to make another effort to prevent
the mischief ariaiudrom them false returns. They propose to
obtain returns from the port of Liverpool of all cotter;
imported and exported, end from the railw and canal
oompanies of all cotton forwarded to the trade for coe.
eumption. If this should be found practicable, these wit
furnish data by which the present daily lista of sales may
be corrected to a great extent. No doubt a comparatively
large quantity of what is at present returned as 'sold finds
its way back into the Liverpool market for resale. The
railway and canal returns must include the quantities
taken back to Liverpool, as well as that forwarded, to
make them reliable. Buyers frequently send large quanti.
ties of cotton to the carriers, and then order it back from
the carriers' warehouses into stock again. In addition to
this, • good deal of cotton actually sent forward to spin-
ners for consumption is sent back to Liverpool for resale,
so that any returns which do not include these bite will
be inadequate. Messrs. Du Fay and Co., in their monthly
circular, dated yesterday, give a list of the exports for the
eleven months (January to November inclusive), by which
it appears there was • total increases to all coon -*Ws over
the corresponding months of the previous year of
31,996,6331b*. of yarn, and of 490,932,715 yards
of cloth. The figures are—Export of yarns to No.
vember 30,1865, 94,183,8161ba. ; ditto to November 30,
1866, 126,180,4491 be. Exports of cotton cloths in 1866,
1,850,814,998 yards ; in 1866, 2,341,747,713 yards. la
speaking above of the great firmness of cloth, with higher
pricer, it is desirable to mention that there are some ex.
ceptiona to the rule. Some manufacturers who have a
credit for shrewdness are of opinion that the market is
taldng exactly the same course as it did this time bet year,
and that it will lead to similar loss and disaster, and they
are consequently meeting buyers very freely at rather
easier rates, determined, if possible, not to allow of any
accumulation of stooks, or to keep a single piece of goods
on heed that they can And a purchaser for.
