LivEßrooL, Friday Evening. r,
The Liverpool Cotton Market has shown no change
to-clay, And only a moderate business has been done,
the sales reaching 6,000 bales. Messrs. Wright, jun.,
and Co.'s circular, published this afternoon, gives
the following report of the week's business :
Our last circular advices, dated 6th'instant, per Canada,
reported a dull feeling in our Cottou_market, with limited
sales at irregular prices. Later and more favourable ac-
counts from the Eastern markets led to a renewal 'of
orders for Manchester productions, to cover which the
trade purchased more freely of, the raw material, and
in the early part of the week an active demand was
experienced; the absenCe of any important political
adviees inducing speculators to participate in the
business, and sales were practicable at id to id per, lb.
adiance on Friday's quotations. As thee progressed the
inquiry became less. animated,' and we hive again relapsed`
into, quietness bordering on dulness. The import is•large,
and the nature of matured and maturing engagements
influences, very free offerings, and in some cases an anxiety to
realise, according to the views entertained of an uncertain
future financially and politically, Money is still in good
request, though the drain in our banking institutions has
partially subsided, 'and been satisfied by corresponding
arrivals.: Only short dated paper is, however, disoounted
at the minimum rate of .41 per cent. _ Consols and
public securities have advanced in value,, but, like
everything else at the moment, are very sensitive
in' tone To-day's market closes with a quiet
feeling, at prices in buyers' favour. The sales are estimated
at 6,000 bales, 500 to speculators and exporters, and offer-
ings largdly in excess of-the demand, within the quotations
below. The•total sales of the week, including what has
been forwarded from the ship's side, amount to 53,340 bales,
of Which' 42,490 are American. Speculators have taken
4,580, and exporters 2,910, leaving 45,850 bales of all kinds
to the trade. The import for same time is 244,459 bales, of
which 219,993 are American. The quantity known to be
at ,Sea fr, American ports is about 231,000 bales.

Messrs. Edmund Jardine and Co., in their circular
to-day, say :

.The glooin and irregularity which was the ruling feature
in our market at the close of last week, gave place .-at The
opening of the present to a more cheerful feeling, and .with
a better ,demand,on Saturday, more steadiness prevailed,
with less disposition to progress with: sales at the previona
low.rates. On Monday, the market was further strengthened
by a large attendance from the trade, and a good general de-
mand, which was not so fully met, many holders having with-
drawn their stocks ; prices consequently rapidly hardened, and
elOsed at an advance of ed. to id., with sales estimated at
12,000 bales., On lyeduesday and subsequently, however,
the-market hag' been quieter, and a portion of the advance
lost, so that we enhance our quotations of last week 4-(1.
per lb. in American. descriptions. Egyptian, Brazil, and
Surat, remain unchanged.

The Manchester Good§ Market continues flat,
although upon the whole a- more cheerful feeling.
prevails than last week, and fresh, contracts • have
been entered upon at rates above• those offering a
week ago. They arc not, however, of sufficient
magnitude to cause producers to add to the small
stocks they are generally supposed to hold-of Cotton,
and in the face of heavy supplies received and
approaching, promise to afford an increased selection
without advancing prices.

The London Stock Market has presented no feature
of striking, importance to-day. Consols opened
with an improvement of about a quarter per cent.,
