LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 5

Flat and tame as our market has been throughout the
week, to-day it is, if possible, much more so ; very few buy -
down, and the business does not exceed 1500 to 2000 bales.
The weekly sales are 18,590 bales, of which 200 bales are
on speculation, and 1000 to export.

COTTON MARKET, NOVEMBER a

We continue so dull and spiritless in our market that it is really
difficult tc, give any other description of it. The demand is so
moderate that the quantity sold on Saturday was only 2800, and
to-day 2500 to 3000 bales, at gradually easier prices. The trade
merely supply their immediate wants. so that we cannot at present
calculate upon any improvement in our market.
