LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 10

The intelligence of the ratification of the Chinese
treaty, accompanied by an unexpected liberal commercial
tariff, has given additional firmness to our Cotton market,
and buyers have cheerfully paid advanced prices. A large
business has been done, the extent of which we cannot
at present estimate, but should calculate upon 8000 to
10,000 bales. The feeling is very firm, and business is
still going on.

COTTON MARKET

-OCTOBKR 16

The almost unexampled extent of business done last week
in Cotton,has caused a considerable rise in its value, say of fd per
lb. We say almost unexampled, for in the memorable year of
1825, the sales in one week di.; extend beyond 1,,, 00 bales—and
that prices ranging three times higher than their present value.
To-day the demand has been pretty good from► both specula-
tors and the trade; 70 bales have been sold, aw) to the
latter and 30 oto the former, at full steady market prices The
all absotbing topic of conversation is the momentary slur cast
upon the body of brokers by the Manchester Gua, dian, who had
" caught a tartar " The transaction alluded to is undergoing
a very rigid scrutiny, whatever may be the position of the in-
dividuals concerned, the honour of the body will be untar-
nished.

COTTON MARKET

-WEEKLY REPORT

The extent of business in Cotton has even exceeded the very
large sales of last week. On Friday evening and Saturday,
considerable pu chases were made of Surat, chiefly on specnla-
tion. at advancing rates. On the arrival of the intelligence of
the ratification of the treaty with China, and the very favoura-
ble t rms of the tariff, and regulAtions for business, the market
became much excited; on Wednesday 25,0;d bales were sold,
at an advance very generally of id per lb, and although there
has since been less animation, the dvance is fully maintained.
