S2.:ITE OF TRADE.

J.', .
MANCHESTER, March .7.—We have to report a
~,Tlatill and rather gloOiny marker. The recent Federal
. Auccesses in Atneriea have led to a decline in cotton
at Liverpool, which practically, if not nominally,
buyers for manufacturing purposes :report to be
ad. per lb. upon recent t'ith rates, and this
'llllB caused buyers •here, botl fortome trade and
e_Xport purposes, to wit`ddraw their— recent offers

Vhen the deman.ift was overtaking the supply of
foods, and vvl*n_a there seemed to be a reasonable

that the Cotton market should be exceedingly i mil-
live at. any advices Which indicate a possibility of

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The money-market, as usual at the close of the
week, presents an exceedingly quiet appearance,
and the rates have remained without the slightest
variation.
