COTTON.—Id EIPOOL, Limit B.—The continued decline
in prices for the last tew weeks has tempted the trade and
exporters to come more freely forward, the melee this week
keing large, particularly the portion taken by exporters and
speculators, and at an advance generally of ad. per lb. in
American, whilst for Brazil and Egyptian rather lower
rates have been accepted. Surat has been in fair request,
at fully previous rates for the better kinds, and common
qualities may be quoted id. dearer. Yesterday there was
lees demand, partially in oonsequenes of the fear of a further
considerable export of gold to America, and prices close
with rather lees firmoess. Speculators have taken 15,760
American and 270 Surat ; and there are reported for export
15,900 American, 60 Peruvian, and 4,000 Surat. The market
opened to-day with a moderate inquiry at yesterday's rates,
the estimate of sales being 8,000 bales, d which 2,000 an
for export and on speculation.

COTTON GOODS.—MaNcuenren, MARCH B.—Sines
Tuesday the whet has relapsed into much the same state
of inactivity es we described last week. The improved feel-
ing on Tuesday was owing to some rather heavy orders for
716 to 811 b. balk 40-inch shillings given out on Monday,
but at very low prime, but the market loss since been as
tame and sluggish as previously. For 36.incla shirting. there
is very little demand, and prices are in favour of buyers.
dome riles of T cloths and heavy domestics were made early
in the week for Italy and the Levant, but the market is quiet
and prices easier. Printers are also easier, with con-
siderable irregularity in quotations. The low prices of yarns
have brought buyers hato the market rather more freely,
and the sales bare been sufficient to afford relief to tho
holders of stocks. The principal sales have been in 16's to
3tes water twist, and in 30's to 40's mule io cop and bundle.
The market closes quieter in yarns than it was earlier in the
week.
