LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 28,

We have experienced a very limited demand for Cotton
during the whole of the past week ; the trade only buying in
small quantities to supply their immediate wants, which
owing to many of the spinners working short time, are only
to a very moderate extent.

Prices of all descriptions of cotton are rather more in
favour of the buyer than they were last week, but the decline
is so small (scarcely amounting to id. per lb.) that we do not
make any alterations in our quotations.
The total sales of the week are 12,230 bales, of which ex-
porters have purchased 850 bales . the remainder is to the
trade. Nothing has been done on speculation.
At the public sale of Sea Islands this day, there was a very
thin attendance of buyers, and the small portion sold was at
a decline of fully Id. from previous rates.

COTTON MARKET, MAY 28.
We have had a moderate business done in Cotton to-day, without
any alteration either, in prices, or in the tune of the market, which
remains without any improvement from the inanimate state which
we have noticed for some time past. The sales are 1500 bags all to
the trade, with the exception of about 50 bales American, bought
for exportation.

COTTON MARKET, MAY 31.
Extreme dullness still continues to he the distinguishing feature
of the Cotton market, and the transactions therein on a very
limited scale. The business to-day has been less than we recollect
on any preceding Monday; the total sales being only 12 to 1500
bales, consisting almost entirely of American descriptions. Prices
are without any material change.

COTTON MARKET WEEKLY REPORT,

The demand throughout the week has again been to a very
limited extent, and prices may be considered rather more in favour
of the buyer, but not sufficiently so to render necessary any general
alteration in the quotations. At the public sale of Sea Island to-
day, consisting of 1470 clean and 670 statined, and 40 of the former
and 90 of the latter found buyers, at a reduction of Id to 13d.
Exporters have taken 650 American, 100 Pernambuco and WO
Surat.
