LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET-MARCH 13

-- ---
The dulness which has characterised the cotton market
during the past few weeks has continued unabated
throughout the present. The accounts from Amt-rica
were construed favourable for holders, and the report of
the Manchester trade more cheerful, still neither suffi-
ciently so, as to induce speculation, leaving the market
almost entirely to the trade, who (as usual in such cases)
have limited their purchases to small quantities, and
prices of American are a shade easier than on last Friday.
Brazil and Egyptian quiet at late rates.
Surat in small supply at prices rather against the seller.
The weekly sales are 48,650 bales, of which 2,480 are
on speculation, and 5,440 for export.
