LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 29.

and the large amount of the stocks remaining - ler shipment, the

effected with difficulty at 4d per lb decline on nearly all descriptions,
except Surat, which are very heavy of sale at last week's prices.
Speculators have taken 500 American, and Exporters 600 American
and 120 East India; and 3490 American, 230 Pernambuco and 110
En:t India have been forwarded into the country unsold during the
