COTTON.—LuzarooL, Fin. 7.—The cotton market
was quiet in the early part of the week, and prices of some
descriptions were barely supported ; but yesterday and
again to-day the demand has been very active. particularly
from the trade, with a comparatively limited supply, and
' the week Gloms with great limner, and generally an up,
ward tendency. For Sea Island there has been an active
inquiry, and holders of the medium and lower grades hare
supplied the market sparingly ; prices, consequently, of
these qualities are id. per lb. dearer. American continues
in extensive demand, and after some weakness in
in the beginning of the week, is again very firm, and fully
supports the quotations of last week. For future delivery
pnom, after receding id. per lb., have also fully recovered,
New York advice, to the 7th instant quote middling at 19:
cents. mating to sell in Liverpool Nil. per sailing vessel,
Sid. per steamer. There continues to be an active
inquiry for Brazil, which, in some cases, is id. per It.
dearer. There has been a brisk demand for Baptism. and
an extensive business done at fully id. per lb. advance.
The demand for Beat India has been large throughout the
week, and as the stock diminishes rapidly buyers hare
difficulty in supplying themselves at the quotations, which
show an average advance of dd. to id. on Surat and
Madras, and lul. to id. on &dude and Bengal, the latter
being especially scarce. For cotton to arrive the latest
quotations are—American, basis of middling, ship named,
from Charleston, 71d. ; Savannah, and 7ld. (good
ordinary,
ordinary, rid. and 74d.) ; low middling, 71d.Mobile 70.,

and the trade 77,860 bales. We have had a good demand

. advance on the official quotations. The sales are 20,0uu
bales, of which 6,000 are for export and speculation.

corros GOODS.—Mawcsitenwn, FIB. T.—The strong
and active market at Liverpool, which impels the manatee.
turer to advance his quotations for cloth, is seriously
checking operations, but the yarn market is tolerably
active, and spinners are more successful than manufactu-
rers in obtaining higher prices. For shipping yarns a good
deal of business has been done at extreme rates. The
demand is almost general for export markets. There it
also a fair home demand, though from the fact that buyen
and sellers have done a good deal of business during sonic
weeks past there has not been a large trade to-day. The
price of these yarns has again advanced, and buyers report
that in some eases they have found the market id. to
per lb. dearer than last week. The leading sellers of cloth
say they cannot find that buyers are willing to respond to
this upward movement. Manufacturers have to pay the
increased cost of yarn and put up their own rates to cover
it, but they have not been able to get India and China suer.
chants willing to give prices which will make them to book
new contracts under the altered conditions of Cr: yam and
cotton market. To-day sellers have generally advanced
the rates for shirting' and other fabrics suited to India, ,r,ml
the market closes steady, manufacturers being well utol,r
engagement, but with a very restricted business. Demo..
tics, T cloths, and other goods for the home trade, which
have not advanced in price to the extent of shietings. but
Are still somewhat dearer, have been in rather better re.
quest. Printing cloths are still in demand, and sake Laic
been effected to-day at a moderate advance in price.
