LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, FEB. 12

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 12.

The demand this week has been very limited, the business being
confined to the immediate wants of the Trade, and the markat
was heavy throughout. In prices, however, little change has oc-
curred; middle qualities of American remain without alteration
from last week's quotations, whilst the ordinary and better descrip-
tions have declined id per lb; Surat is also id lower, and Brazil
barely supports previous rates. There were offered by auction
to-day 2210 baies of Sugat, 930 of which found buyers at full
previous rates for the good descriptions, but for the lower desrip-
tions a further decline of id per lb was submitted to.

COTTON MARKET

.-SATURDAY,

The arrival of three Packet Ships, bringing advices to 31st ult.,
confirming the accounts of short crop, caused a better demand
and the little excitement enabled holders to sell lots which hac
been refused all week; the total sales were 5000 bales-1200 01
them to speculators.

MONDAY EVENING

Early this morning the Boston and Halifax mail-steamer arrived,
bringing advices to the 3rd instant. The short crop accounts are
more than confirmed ; the receipt of our higher prices in America
caused a further advance, and though previous to the departure of
the steamer, it had somewhat abated, yet their market is fully id
14, ib higher than ours. These statements caused some excitement
here, and a very good demand to the extent of 12,000 bales. We
may remark that more than 10,000 have been bought by the trade,
and this is more satisfactory, and fully one id advance on Friday's
prices has been readily paid to-day.
