LIVERPOOL COTTON, MARKET, JAN. 23

In the early part of the week the market was dull, the trade
purchastn g. only to a moderate extent; but since Tuesday there
has been a moderate inquiry, both from the trade and specu-
lators, and at the close prices were steady at last week's rates.
In Brazil there is a better feeling, and the quotations are
slightly advanced. Speculators have taken 6600 American, 700
Egyptian and 7iio Surat.

COTTON MARKET—JAN. 26. 42;
Although Potatoes are at present the chief theme of conversa- Stock
tion, men of business continue to let nothing thwart the regular 12
stream of buying and selling; and 6,00 u bales of Cotton have 2
to-day changed hands at last week's full prices, with a firm and Stock
healthy tone about the market. • 2i

STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—The suspense in which t'e public mind is
kept respecting the Ministerial measures has very much im-
peded business since our last. Prices, however, are firm, both
for goods and yarn ; in the latter some business has been done
for India and China, but the tee • lit commercial accounts from
those countries are not considered very encouraging The
tone of the market to-day, in consequence of the proceedings in
Parliament, was decidedly more favourable.
LEEDS.—The amount of business done this week, as well in
the ware houses as in the Cloth Ila Is, has been hut small. The
weather has been wet and uncomfortable—hence, in some de-
gree, the paucity of buyers and sellers at market on Saturday
and Tuesday. Prices continue firm; and, after the announce-
ment of the fiscal measures on the part of the Ministry, we an-
ticipate there will be a brisk trade in woollen goods generally.
. . _ .

HUDDERSFIELD.—A good deal of business-was done in our
market on Tuesday, especially in cloths adapted for the spring
trade. The manufacturing operatives are well employed. Stocks
of goods are not above an average at this season of the year;
and a good trade is looked forward to, after the announcement
of Sir Robert Peel's general measure, affecting the trade and
commerce of the country.

BRADFORD.—In the Piece Market an average amount of bu-
siness hat been done since our last report, and on market day
there was no feature of part cular change. Prices remain sta-
tionary. A gloom still hangs over the Grain Market; and no
improvement can be reported in the condition of those engaged
in the trade. The operatives are much distressed, and nothing
but butter prices can rescue them from their present destitution.
There is nothing at all encouraging in the state of the Wool
Marker. Combing Wool is in very little demand, and it is vain
to hope for an improvement at present rates. The market in
Noils and Brokes is comparatively active, and mins are s'a-
tionary.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—There is no alteration in the
value of Wool this Week, although sales have hardly been so ex-
tensive as last week, from the uncertain state of political
matters, and both parties seem waiting the result of next week.

IIECKNONDWIHi BLANKET HALL.:--The market has been
thinly attended this week, and we have no alteration to report
in prices since our last.
ROCHDALE.—We had but a dull market for flannels on Mon-
day, and the business transacted was limited, but prices under-
went no variation. In the Wool Market there was no change
to report.
