LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 30.

For the last fortnight the prevading feature in our Cotton market
has been anxiety on the part of holders to effect sales which has
been in some instances manifested to such a great extent as to
cause what are termed forced sales at very low prices. The arrivals
continue to be increasingly heavy, which will not have a beneficial
effect on the present tone of our market ; the only redeeming
poirit is that the late advices show an advance in both prices of
Cotton and rates of freight in the States, so that the profit before
realised will disappear in the future imports, so that holders will
rather keep back than press their stocks. The sales on Saturday
were 3500, and to-day 4000 bales, and closes heavily.
