LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. APRIL 20.

The continued demand for the good qualities of American,
for export, keeps those descriptions dear, whilst the low and
middling, of which the late imports chiefly consist, are freely
offered ; and, notwithstanding a good daily business doing by
the trade, prices must be quoted id. per lb. lower. Egyptians
and Brazil are difficult of sale, and Surat is without change.
The public sale of Sea Islands is thinly attended, and the quan-
tity selling is, up to this moment, very small. Exporters have
4550 American, 500 Pernams an.f 20 Surat, and speculators 500
American.
