LIVERPOOL COTTON MARK .a.-VEit. 20.

The speculative feeling noticed in our last, as existing
in the Cotton nairket, was stimulated at the commence-
ment of the present week by advices from the States, of
a falling; off in receipts; attd c*ceeditigly large trdnAactions
were entered into by ail parties, speculators not confining
themselves to our present moderate stock, but operating
extensively in cotton to arrive, the sales on Saturday
and Mondry being estimated at 45,000 bales on the spot,
with 50,000 bales to arrive, at an advance of id per
lb ; since when greater quietness has prevailed, and part
of the above advance lost, quotations of American being
raised id per lb on the week; Bra±ll in good request, and
8d per lb dearer. Egyptian quiet but without change.
Surat ti:tore freely offered, and easier to buy. The weekly
sales are 62 300 bales, of which 16,9 A are on speculation,
and 4,770 for export.
