LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 24.
The business this week has been very extensive, both to the Trade
and Speculators. The prices of American and Surat are again
fully id per lb higher, and upon the common and middling qualities
this advance has in some instances been exceeded ; the better sorts
of American have participated more genetally of the demand than
previously, and 'have attracted the atten.ion of Speculators.
Brazil and Egyptian are without change. Speculators have taken
7500 American and 450 Surat. 330 Carthagena were taken for
export.
