CITY, Two o'CLoca.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed quietly with a heavy feeling, and prices
Were without much alteration. The sales were es-
timated at 3,000 bales (500 of which were taken on
speculation, and 500 for export), comprising 50
Pernam and Maranham at 7d. to 71d., 100 Egyp-
tian at 6id. to 71d., 400 Surat at aid. to 51d.,
and 40 Sea Islands at ls. 2d. to ls. sd. per lb.
The Railway Share Market was dull, but at the
close was rather firmer.

ket, Messrs. M‘Nair, Greenhow, and Irving write

tinue to be exceedingly irregular. Up to the tine we
write Positive offers constitute the only means of arriv-
-I'clg at a real and practical knowledge. Where stocks
are held producers are generally found to be willing
sellers; but, on the other hand, if fresh orders have to
ee placed, higher terms are demanded.
"In regard to stocks they may be considered low,

Rirb at any rate has been the theme during the last
Wet °aye. It were very desirable that some fixed point

tuf ent year at least. The position of spinners and ma-

terally less profitable, saying nothing of actual loss, than
behaa been for some time past. So far no short time has
