LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT 16.
The same monotonous feeling characterises our market to-
day ; our demand does not exceed 2500 bales ; nevertheless,
prices are firm and steady.
The sales of the week are 12,400 bales, of which 500 are
for export, and 500 on speculation remain to the trade,
which again have not brought more than half their eNn-
sumption.

COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER ig.
We have not the slightest change to remark upon in our Cotton
market. Consumers purchase very sparingly, and every thing has
a very flat appearance again. The sales on Saturday were 2500
bales ; tc-day the same amount, all to the trade. As regards prices,
we cannot make any change. Holders evince no anxiety to effect
sales, and this prevents any apparent decline, though buyers pur-
chase on more favourable terms.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
The demand has been very moderate throughout the week, and
the buying confined; almost exclusively! to the trade; prices have
undergone little or no change, as the holders, with few exceptions,
have abstained from offering their stocks in the present dull state
of the market. Speculators have taken 500 American and ex-
porters 300 American and 200 Madras.
