LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 23.
The demand from the Trade has been good, and the inquiry for
exportation unusually great throughout the week ; the continued
disposition, however, to effect sales has caused no material altera-
tion in prices. The good qualities of Orleans, which have been
much sought after for export, are id per lb higher, and all other de-
scriptions of American remain very firm. Brazil and Egyption, ex-
cepting Maranham, have advanced id to id; in Surat and all other
kinds there is no change. 8300 American, 400 Pernambuco, 100
Maranham and 300 Surat are taken for exportation, and 2500 Ameri-
can, 600 Pernambuco, 500 Egyptian and 600 Surat on exportation.
