THE COTTON TRADE.

e have -
u received, per favour of James Irvine, Esq.,
?Pool, the circular of Messrs. Schroeder and Q
dated New Orleans, 27th November, 1852 :
%,°lll‘ report of the 20th instant left the cotton market
'unsettled state, and only about 6,200 bales were
to"ttat day at irregular prices. On Sunday the letters
11,1?,lada came to hand, and on Monday those per
iek-"0. The demand opened very animated, and the
for sale being abundant, factors, in the face of
,1:83' receipts, met the demand freely, and fully 17,000
ti were sold at irregular rates, though generally at
decline of about ic. Tuesday, the demand continued
operators showing much eagerness to purchase
tail, 12,000 bales were sold at unsettled rates, though
'lOl4 any further decline. Wednesday morning, the
tttia,nn's accounts of 9th instant were before the public,
'".'lig that the news from this country had a depres-
-I,:plect upon the Liverpool cotton market, and that
t'4B,were declining, with sales of only 15,000 bales
"t's three preceding days. The only effect this
$B3 had upon our market was the willingness of
64.1.8 to accept somewhat easier rates, and a
concession in prices on their part brought at
,nY buyers into the market, who took about
ki" Wes. Thursday opened again with a good de-
to,' in the course of the morning the America's
"gts became known, bringing dates of 13th instant
:Liverpool, reporting sales of 32,000 bales for the
rt`' of which 15,000 bales on speculation and for ex-
' and stating hat a decline of id. to id. on all de-
kpti
Z,°,lis had taken place--; - notwithstanding the unfa-
lule character of these accounts, and the very heavy
hued
fell throughout the morning, the demand
o,Zued unabated, and fully 11,000 bales were sold at
still more in favour of buyers, middling generally
‘l'suding Bic. to 9/c. Yesterday, the weather being
440 and cold, buyers came forward with renewed spirit;
4;11; tables were swept as fast as the samples could
i,mi out, and, notwithstanding a further advance in
c
egt, 19,000 bales were sold at previous prices, mak-
ka total for the week of 80,000 bales. To-day the
eist is but poorly supplied, the rainy weather of the
having prevented the sampling of the late receipts ;
t; at the same time, are firmer than yesterday, and
karket closes steady at our quotations. We hear of
.I,Thsf about 3,000 bales thus far.
Rl;'nroughoutthe week much eagerness was shown to
' slid neither unfavourable accounts, rising freights,
4;tshange, and unusually heavy supplies, were suffi-
t'° check the demand—factors were enabled thereby
Ointain their position much better than otherwise
IN, have been possible. The larger proportion of
`4ases was. again for Great Britain, though operators
ie„,`lanne, the Mediterranean, Spain, and the North,
Zed also to a fair extent. Our statement of freight
euients and vessels loading shows the distribution
.`btitellases for the different markets. In prices there
en much irregularity. We saw a good style of strong
ii
sold at 9ic., while at the same time Liverpool
%Zug was reported sold at 9c. For good staple and
,e bsubstantial cottons full prices continue to be paid;
of the supplies consists of the lower grades, and
tich falling off in quality.
,70„nnipts during the week are 70,082 bales against
h bales same period last year, and receipts at our
Siline Ist September, 546,490 bales, of which 473,000
rreported sold.
See weather has been quite changeable during the
Neri--Sunday we had rainy weather—Monday and
al 'ay were clear. Wednesday and Thursday rainy
01,, Warm—yesterday the weather cleared off, and is
ei very cold.
tZlle freight market, though closing rather dull last
has been much excited, and shipmasters found no
ky,7itY in obtaining a gradual advance, as cotton
itti;!l' showed much anxiety to secure room ; all vessels
15tlug were readily taken up. The engagements are
kdkiiverpool, 4 vessels, at 19.32, 22 at 1 ; 2 at 21.32,

#e lac. ; for Genoa, one at 11 ; for Hamburg, one at
ktt The market closes with an upward tendency; there
qtbut few vessels unengaged, but there remains plenty
f:°111 open, as many vessels were taken on speculation.
liell\alotwithstanding the large business in cotton, and
~tge amount of Exchange thrown upon the market,
'?demand has continued fair, and rates have been
1,47 well maintained. We quote sterling 7/ to Bi.
