LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 28.

Although the trade continue to purchase more than their weekly
consumption, and exporters and speculators, encouraged by the
present low rates, operate daily to a fair extent, yet such are the
discouraging accounts from the manufacturing districts, that it is
difficult to support the prices of the raw material, and, in several
instances, business has been done at id per lb. decline; this re-
mark, however, applies more particularly to American descriptions,
as Brazil, Egyptian and East India have been sold currently at the
extreme quotations of last week. Sea Island is in better request,
and may be considered id to Id per lb. higher than the public sale
of Friday last. Exporters have taken 1360 American, 200 Surat,
and 350 Bengal, and speculators 1350 American and 100 Surat.
There have been forwarded into the country unsold during the
month 2040 American, 40 Pernambuco, ICO Bahia, 20 Marannam,
160 Egyptian and 320 Carthagena. 310 bags Sea Island are declared
for public auction on Friday next.

ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON,
From the 22nd instant to this day, inclusive.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MARCH 2.
The continuance of frosty weather, added to an extremely limited
supply of Butter, materially strengthens the extravagant anticipa-
tions of speculators. We do not alter our last quotations, but may
remark that lot Belfast is held at 110 s to lias, and much indifference
evinced by holders to diminish stock even at these rates. For
pickled Butter pas to 100 s is looked for, but we scarcely at any
former period recollect this trade so uninteresting as it has been
for some time back,—indeed without any transaction, of notice, it
may be said merely to follow the shadow of dry Butter. Prime
heavy Beef is worth 115 s to 11;s Gd per tierce, and India 12os to
1.265 per tierce; this article is in brisk request. Belfast Pork 725 6d
to 785 per barrel; prime Mess SOs to 84s per barrel, and in fair re-
quest. Bacon fully supports our last quotation of 485 to 50s per
cwt.
