LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, NOVEMBER E
In the early part of the week the demand was me
no change in pr ces occu •red. Immediately of

the aritiva'

of the steamer on Tuesuay morning, bringing accounts of a
continuance of favourable weather, a greater disposition to sell
was manifested, and a decline in many instances of an id. per
lb. was submitted to ; the knowledge, however, of very small
shipments to this country, and the diminished•stock of Ameri-
can, gave buyers confidence, and the market instantly rallied ;
an extensive business has since been done both by the trade
and speculators, at rates establishing an advance on last Fri-
day's quotations of an id. to id. per lb. on American descrip-
tions. • Brazil and Egyptian are without change, and East India
have been in great request, and command very full rates ; no
change in Sea Island. Speculators have taken 23.000 Ameri-

can, 6SO Pernarn, 1550 Afararamm, 750 igyptWn:W;(ls2ool.iu.
