lion this week, on account of the anticipated consequence of the
large failure, that large parcels of Cotton would be forced nn
the market at whatever prices could be obtained : as this Las
not been the case, the inquiries yesterday and this forenoon ate
again reviving, and several parcels of Pernams have been eold
at 12id.
Extract of a letter received this morning:—'" LIVERPOOL.
