MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening.

The sales of Cotton to-day were confined to
84000 bales,• all to the trade, the market closing
steadily at clid advance on the middling qualities of
American,l to Id on Brazil, 1,1 to ti on Egyptian,
and id per lb. oa Surat, on the prices of this dri.
week.
Messrs. Wright, jun., and Co., in their Circular
issued for transmission per the Ariibia, make the
following remarks on the movement of the trade
throughout the week:—
The Canada conveyed our last circular advises, de ca
11th instant, at which time our Cotton Market was exc'.ced
with large daily sales. Although the business for the
week under review ie less extensive than it predecessors,
-vials have remained very firm, and holders have evinced
no dispoAtion to offer in excess of the demand, and then
ally at outside rates. American descriptions gradually
diminish in s'sock, and al:hough the trade are holding
liberal prese supplies, the prospect of any quantity of
new crop a eriving continues remote, and can scarcely
be received before the entire exhaustion of what is
now held, and which, we venture the %pinion, will
be found, to be less than the circular estimates,
whilst the latest Ameciean advises report a
mintition in the vappqsed quantity held in New York
csf 16,000 bales. 'Swats have been taketalsrgely, bAh by
ay-in.:tumors and tvezulators, but towards the close of the
'week a subdued tone prevailed, and the inquiry was less
active. The important advance in these is likely to in-
fluence some 40,000 to 50,000 biles to this market pre-
Tiouely destined for offier port s. The latest Indian adeices
are not rega-Aedin a -favourable light, and tend not only to
ze3trietoperations, but create a more or less gloomy feeling'
since their -receipt. Money continues in active request
at the Bank minimum rate, and though large
amounts are =known to be near at hard, there is an
increased export inquiry, and the lank returns are likely
to p-ove adverse. 'l'o. ay the market closes at an advance
during the work of Ad per lb on American; principally
confieed, however, to mid fling grades The total sal-e of
the week -remount to n,..!.80 bale', of which 46 99 Dare

Ant orican: -Bpetulators have taken 29,500, and Exporters
1,610 'caving 42,470 bales of all kinds to the trpide. The
inapart•for same time is 50,596 bales, of which 13,474 are
.Ameriesr. The quantity known to be at sea from Astori-
awn ,potto is about 8,030 bales.
