THE COTWAT TRADE.

The sales of cotton, since the Ist January, as made up on
Thursday evening, amount to 168,61.0 bales, of which specu-
lators ha ve taken 89,960, export tis 20,070, and apinners
58,580 bales. In the early part of the week the indecisive
information from America caused a , legree of dulness, with
a slight giving way in value ; but tht:g was instantaneously
succeeded by an active demand, with itc,lvaneing prices on
the intelligence by the City of Was,hington becom-
ing known, on Wednesday afternoon, 0, e the amicable
adjustment of our differences with the I:nited States,
and on Thursday the sales reached 25,000 bales, with an
excited market—prices of American on that :titar loon show-
ing as advance of id to Id per lb. In Surats the improve-
ment is Id to id, with transactions on a large scale, arising
from their relative cheapness ; Brazil and Egyptian. arealse
dearer, the former Id to Id, and the latter -Ad per lb. In
fovoer periods the probability of a war with America would
have ,;dvanced prices in the cotton market, and the assur-
ance of
peace depressed them; but now the reverse is the
case, from
.41m existence of the peculiar conflict between the
Northern ana Southern divisions of that country, and, but-
small hope being entertained of any supplies from the pro-
lific cotton fields of the South for the present, prices are
tending to high and dangerous figures; yet, so long as the
blockade of the Souetern I,orts is maintained, the natural
result is advancing prices-, an' 1, the point to which they may
eventually reach being as yet entirely undefined, specula-
tors, as will be seen by their extensive operations since the
Ist of January, are sanguine Oat we are still considerably
within it, while the cheaper ra to ,of money increases their
confidence. The position of Liv,lrpool, both in respect to,
stocks and prices of cotton, shows POW little the producers,
of the raw material are indebted to sp,ttelers for the first and
most important action in regard to it,- -that of bringing it
to the English market, and holding it whin received ; nays
more, their very chariness of purchasing, BOw that it is
here, further illustrates an absence of encourat;en,tent either
to its growth or importation which materially vett:rens the
force of their demands for Government to provie'e for the
extension of cultivation in India, as Surats form very
nearly one half the stock now in Liverpool, as mea prod-
by bales. If the cotton ports of America are not opened
before Midsummer—which seems to be the periodassign
in the Northern States for the subjugation of the seaboard'
cf the South, and by these means securing an outlet for cot-
ton—spinners, not only in this country, but in Europe and
America also, must naturally become hard pressed for raw
material, and a demand may be naturally expected on this
market, in which the stock is now held, with a weight at
present altogether without indication; for, measured by the
number of bales:, we have more cotton in Liverpool at this
moment than at the same period last year, and have shown
an excess week after week for some time past. Nor does it
follow that, because the ports of the South are opened by the
successes of the Northern fleet and armies, cotton will flow"
freely through them, for so long as the interior is held by
the Secessionists cotton will be retained there, or in thelast
resort may be destroyed. We are thus by no means sweat
any weight of cotton from America, even by Midsummer;
for, assuming all cosec successes, the Northern troops can.
scarcely be expected during the summer months to move in
that country of fierce heat and deadly fever. On the other ,
side, however, it can hardly be doubted that, should the
North be successful in Virginia, and drive back the forces
of ,the South, as well as occupy and threaten a forward
movement from the sea coast, th e South will be prepared to
make overtures of peace; for, however determined they may
be at present, if vanquished on all sides, it can scarcely be
expected that their resolution of fighting to the last will
then hold. As yet, however, there is no. ppearance of the
South being in any such strait, as they hold their position
in force on the Potomac, from which they most first be
driven before they can be crushed.—Liverpool Albion of
Monday.

LIVERPOOL—JAN. 17.
A fair attendance to-day. Wheat met a good consump-
tive demand, and last Friday 's quotations may be repeated.
Flour a better inquiry, and Ei. L per barrel below previous
rates. Oats and oatmeal were steady. Indian corn waa
in good sale, and held for late rate's. Beans, peas, and bar-
ley 6d per qr cheaper.
