THE COTTON TRADE.

tirWe have received, per favour of James Irvine, Esq.,
erllool, the circular of Messrs. Schroeder and Quen-
", dated New Orleans, 27th November, 1852 :-
414°111' report of the 20th instant left the cotton market
unsettled state, and only about
On Sunda 6,200 bales were
kr hat day at irregular prices. y the letters
a!lada came to hand, and on Monday those per
"retie. The demand opened very animated, and the
6.74 for sale being abundant, factors, in the face of
in receipts, met the demand freely, and fully 17,000
ihTaA Were sold at irregular rates, though generally at
tiirQftline of about c. Tuesday, the demand continued
! and operators showing much eagerness to purchase
12,000 bales were sold at unsettled rates, though
4e'ollt any further decline. Wednesday morning, the
ichrillann's accounts of 9th instant were before the public,
qsting that the news from this country had a depres-
pri Teet upon the Liverpool cotton market, and that
foec the es were declining, with sales of only 15,000 bales
three preceding days. The only effect this
4eZ had upon our market was the willingness of
rs to accept somewhat easier rates, and a
ort concession in prices on their part brought at
15e(jAillany buyers into the market, who took about
0 bales. Thursday opened again with a good de-
illau
ice d; in the course of the morning the America's
°ants became known, bringing dates of 13th instant
t,141,. Liverpool, reporting sales of 32,000 bales for the
pc„"`", Of which 15,000 bales on speculation and for ex-
and stating that a decline of -I,d. told. on all de-
ptions had taken place ; notwithstanding the unfa-
rable character of these accounts, and the very heavy
Which fell throughout the morning, the demand
pelalled unabated, and fully 11,000 bales were sold at
ke,3 still more in favour of buyers, middling generally
37anding9/0. Yesterday, the weather being
fetto. and cold, buyers came forward with renewed spirit ;
ra' tables were swept as fast as the samples could
out, and, notwithstanding a further advance in
lit, 19,000 bales were sold at previous prices, mak-
ea total for the week of 80,000 bales. To-day the
Oke,t is but poorly supplied, the rainy weather of the
4,;:` 'laving prevented the sampling of the late receipts ;
kr; at the same time, are firmer than yesterday, and
keBlnarket closes steady at our quotations. We hear of
about 3,000 bales thus far.
Ihroughout the week much eagerness was shown to

e/chauge, and unusually heavy supplies, were suffi-
tittt to check the demand—factors were enabled thereby
li„,,blaintain their position much better than otherwise
'L
pel°l have been possible. The larger proportion of
l ases was again for Great Britain, though operators
b.urance, the Mediterranean, Spain, and the North,
erated also to a fair extent. Our statement of freight
eraents and vessels loading shows the distribution
4ctillirchases for the different markets. In prices there
kid,een much irregularity. We saw a good style of strong
l g sold at 9ic., while at the same time Liverpool
oa Zing was reported sold at 9c. For good staple and
lie '1 substantial cottons full prices continue to be paid;

during the week are 70,082 bales against
k bales same period last year, and receipts at our
.I*t Fines Ist September, 546,490 bales, of which 473,000
reported sold.
,‘1,4-40 weather has been quite changeable during the
I',"--Sunday we had rainy weather—Monday and
aid `,sr were clear. Wednesday and Thursday rainy
oc Warm—yesterday the weather cleared off, and is
Lvery cold.
At,1.4-ne freight market, though closing rather dull last
flik;', has been much excited, and shipmasters found no
enity in obtaining a gradual advance, as cotton
tri:ie!'s showed much anxiety to secure room ; all vessels
for lug were readily taken up. The engagements are
and Liverpool, 4 vessels, at 19.32, 22 at a ; 2 at 21.32,
