COTTON.—Livrnroot, MARCH 22.—The npward ten-
dency noticed at the Irene of our lust circular lies made
further and marked progress during the week. Accounte
received from the States are considered unfavourable to
supply, whether the quantity apparently grown, or the
serious political position is taken into coesidemtion, and
there has been a general expectation that the Bunk of Eng-
land would reduce its terms for discount. These circum-
stances have induced increased confidence in cotton, and the
transactions have daily been large ; and, though there has
been a considerable supply offering, yet it has been
gnats to the demand, and prior have gradually advanced

done at full and 'ether extreme rates. For Egyptians there
has been rather more demand, hut any decided advance can
hardly be noted. In Brazils the transactions have been
moderate, in come cases a slight advance being obtained. A
good demand has prevailed for Mosta, and they are fully
id. higher in value. 25,550 American and MO Murat Sr.
reported on speculation, and 16,730 American, 80 Unitise,
100 Bahia, mod 9,370 Emit India fur export. The demand,
more moderate to-day, is fairly met ; the sakes may reach
10,000 hales, with law animation at the clime.

COTTON GOODfi—MANCIMATER, MARCH 22.—There

innsounonnieot that the Bank rate of discount has been
lowered, because a good deal of business had been done in
anticipltion of that measure. The tone of the yarn market
is, perhaps, a MO* less buoyant today than on Tuesday,
but then is still a fair amount of business passing. Spumes,
parlay are very firm, and the extreme quotations safer
