more.inquiry, at the prices quoted. The transactions in Palm Oil
are limited to about 300 tons, on the spot, at .4'33 lOs to .e 33 15s,

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Aun. 13.
The sales of the week are 18,700 bales, of which exporters
have taken 1100 American, 400 Surat and 50 Bahia, and
speculators 400 American. The market closes *d. per lb.
lower than this day week in American, id. in Surat, and
Brazils not much enquired for. Prices nominal.

COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 14.
We have no change in our Cotton market today; the same
gloomy feeling and inactive demand prevades it, as for some time
past, and the unseasonable weather, coupled with the badness of
trade, is the all absorbing topic of conversation. The quantity
sold to-day is estimated at 2500 bales, at yesterday's prices, with a
very uneven market, varying id to jd 13 lb in the different broker's
stocks.

COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 16,

Our market, with a somewhat improved and more general de-
mand, doubtiess caused to a certain extent by the improvement in
the weather. Speculators have operated to the extent of 800 bales,
which with the supply of 600 to exporters, and 3500 to the trade,
makes a total of near 5000 bales, at last week's prices, with a de
cidedly better feeling in the market, which would be lasting with a
corresponding duration of the fine weather.

COTTON MARKET-WEEKLY REPORT.

The unsettled state of the weather, together with the gloomy
accounts from the manufacturing districts, have had a very un.
favourable effect upon the market, several of the holders having
evinced great disposition to sell. Priees of American generally
have declined id per lb., Brazil and Surat ad, whilst Egyptian,
which is offered freely, has been sold at a decline of id to ad per
lb. Exporters have taken 1100 American, 250 Bahia and 400 Surat,
and 400 American have been taken on speculation.
