LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. APRIL 7.
A fair demand has again been experienced from the trade,
but little has been done by speculators or exporters. In the
early part of the week prices were tolerably steady ; within the
past day or two, however, there has been an increased desire to
sell, and the import being large, a reduction of fully id. per lb.
has been submitted to in American • all other kinds partake
more or less of the decline, and the market closes heavily.
Exporters have taken 970 American, and speculators 100 Ame.
can. About 1500 Sea Islands are declared for auction next
Thursday.
