Extract of letter from Liverpool, dated LIST
Junly, 1890.
The follow ing are the most material
changes that have taken place in the state
and prospects of our market for American
produce since our last printed circular
"There has not been much demand for
ashes, and several parcels of them have
brought forward for sale by auction, they
have gone at lower prices: Montreal pot
ashes now sell at 34s. stained at 80 TO 39s !:
for States pot ashes there is some demand
for export at 38s to 39s I'd per cwt: pearl
ashes are in very limited request at 3Ss to
Ais per cwt and the consumption of both in
this country seems to be diminished. For
quercitron bark there is very little inquiry;
Philad is nearly nominal, It's to els, and
New Y ork los to It's per cwt.; and the old
stocks in this market are yet considerable. -
Bees wax scarce, and sells al is TO l4t. per
cwt.
The brisk demand which there had been
for cotton was continued until the beginning
of last month, when the imports becoming
Unexpectedly large the demand was abated
and in the last four weeks Uplands and Or.
leans have declined in value Id per ID. The
sales of the last six weeks have on the ave-
rage been $500 bags per week, of which
$500 have been uplands, The total imports
into Great Britain this year amount to &c.,
800 bags, being $4,000 more than to the
same period last year, and OF these 227.5UO
bags are from the U States, beng 2,50O
bags more than were received during the
whole of last year. Ills however believed
that the imports from America for the next
SIX months will be upon very limited scale,
and that after July there will scarcely be any
arrivals from the southern stales; and pre-
Stunning that this wiii be the case the general
impression is, that the prices will be higher
in the following mrnths. Uplanus now sell
at ! Iii to i23d, and a lew OF prime quality
at i2ad to 1871. Rlabamas at the same pices,
Tennessees iU!d to Dl3d, New-Orleans III
to III. and some iavorlte gin marks al 1T
tie higher prices; Sea Islands are Id per 10
lower, and now sell at I'D to 2s Cd, but the
generai sales are at l8d to Gid per 10. stain

I'D u lid, PernambuCo l55d TO lot, iNaran-
ham and Bahia lI4i 70 l5d, West India i4t
TO I'D per Id. The demand for cotton goods
in Manchester IS sIil good, and generally at
prices which leave small profit TO the ma
nufaCturer but the demand Tor twist is ex-
ceedingiy dull, and in many cases The spin
ners are under the necessity OF selling 10
some loss. Last year tue consumption OF
American cottons IN this country was COM
puted to he 2,5 900 bags, and it is unques-
tionable that the consumption OF them Is III
creased, but IN what degree there is some
difference OF opinion, some estimating the
increase al co.. anu Others al 1000 bags per
week; but whichever OF these ii may be,
there seems to be no doubt but that the I'M
ports will be greater than the consumption.
The exports OF American cotton last year
amounted 10 1880 Lays, and unless they
become larger than usual Tor the remainder
fit, or the growing crops OF America sus-
