LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 17.
In consequence of the continued accounts, brought by the recent
arrivals, of a large crop in the United States, together with the
probability of an increased supply from India, a marked decline
in price has been experienced this week, American descriptions
have receded id to id, Brazil id, and Egyptian id to id lb. At
the public sales of Surat to-day, when 7500 bales were offered, the
greater part of good quality, there was a fair attendance, but only
about 470 bales were sold, at a decline of id to id tb upon the
prices previously current. 2500 American and 100 Surat have been
taken for export. For public sale on Friday next, 150 Sea Island
and 250 stained ditto are announced.

Much dulness has for some days prevailed in our Butter market;
we, however, do not observe any alteration in price. Only mid-
dling and inferior brands are offered ; holders of the better order
looking for considerably higher rates. Pickled Butter goes off very
slowly at 87s to 88s. Prime Mess Beef selling at 105 s to 112 s 6d
per tierce. India (full weight) 120 per tierce. Bacon is fully sup-
ported, and will, from all accounts, be higher.
