LIVERPOOL COrl'ON MARKET, JAN. 21.
The advices received by the Halifax steamer, which arrived
on Sunday last, stating that the receipts were again considera-
bly less than at the same time last season, (nearly 90,000 bales,)
had the effect of making holders firm, and, combined with a
good demand on Tuesday, enabled them to obtain an occasional
advance of id. per lb. in American; for the last sew days. how-
ever, owing to the continued dull accounts from Alanchester,
the inquiries have been less numerous, and the sales made have
been at a slight decline, rendering it difficult now to realize the
quol ations of Frrday last. Surat is steady, but Brazil and Egyp
tian are dull. Speculators have taken 100 Surat, and Exporters
100 American.
