OOTTON.—Liviutrool, Ocr. 18.—There has been a
very active demand throughout the week, and prices have
advanced each succeeding day, but more particularly dur-
log the last two days, the market closing at an
advance of ail. to .d. per lb. for the useful American
qualities. There has also been a great inquiry for Brazil,
' principally oa speculation, and prices may be quoted gd. to
id. dearer. Egyptian has excited muck attention, owing to
the accounts of serious injury having been done to the
crop from the overflow of the Nile, and prices have ad.
veined fully Id. per lb., with very little offering. The
business in Surat has been extensive, at an improvement of
d. to ad. per lb., almost entirely in the better descriptions.
Speculators have taken 55,980 bales, viz., 23,730 American,
230 Pernam, 2,330 Bahia, 620 Maranham, 1,810 Egyptian,
27,2160 Surat ; and there are reported for export, 11,190
tales, viz., 2,330 American, 290 F4yptian, and 8,570 Surat.
The demand to-day is very good, at extreme prime ; Pro-
bable sales. 25,000 bales, including 12,000 on speculation
and for export.

COTTON GOODB.—MANcaesTra, Ocr. 18.—The cloth
market continues quiet. Mince Tuesday prices have con-
tinued to advance, but very little business has been done.
Buyers are not anxious for business, and an the other hand
manufacturers seem to withdraw their goods from the
market. The amount of business in all departments is but
trifling. This is the necessary consequence of the con-
stantly advancing prices in Liverpool. In yarns there has
been an extremely large business doing all the week, and
prices have been advancing daily. Buying has been eaten.
save for India, China, and the home trade. The Germans
hare been purchasing where they could obtain yarns at last
week's prices, but are cautious in following the coo-
@tautly advancing rates resulting from the specu-
lation in cotton. To-day many spinners have with-
drawn their yarns entirely from the market.
Others are asking ld. per lb. advance on the price they ob.
tamped on Tuesday. In the business done the advance is id.
per lb. generally on yarns of all kinds. This is entirely
owing to the speculation at Liverpool, and business closes
with the strongest market we have yet known in yarns.
A moopt the on des of the market, we bear of one firm of
spinners and maaufecturers who hold cotton, upon which, if
they sold today, they could realise 20,0001. ; and anothtr
firm, one of the largest in the district, are reported to have
made half.a.million profit in the same way. Some of these
reports are rather wild, but there is nodoubt that the tempta-
tions to speculate in cotton are much greater just now than
anything offered by a legitimate tide iu spinning and
manufacturing.

moderate supply of wheat to-day, and a very brisk

LIVERPOOL, Ocr. 18.—There was only a moderate attend.
since at our market today, but wheat meta fair mle at an
