LIVERPOOL, APRIL 90.
The oldest merchants in Liverpool do
not recollect a period when the spirit Of
speculation was so active IN the Cotton
Market as it has been in ours since Fri
day last. A kind ofmaniG seems TO have
seized individuals of almost every class
OF society, all hoping TO become sudden
ly rich by successful specu!ations in cot
ton. Prices have, in consequence of this
speculative demand, rapidly advanced
within the last five days, and there is, in
the opinion of the spectators, every
promise of a still further advance. The
state otthe winds has TO little influence
on prices for whilst puff from the
eastward is enough 10 raise cotton half
penny per pound, a breeze from the
westward would, it is probable, sink it
penny. So precaricus is speculation
not fewer than $4,000 bags of cotton
have, it is ascertained, changed hands
since Thursday last. 1t would be Curl
Gus to describe the process by which
100 bags, by frequently changing hands,
are swelled, as it were, Into 1000. g
April 23.-We have to advertise the
most extensive sales Of Cotton this week
that are on record,--milIions of pounds.
The belief that our supplies will be
short from every quarter, and the still
increasing consumption of this article
has induced great speculation. The
trade buy freely at present, and our mar
ket has every appearance Of continuing
high. Uplands have advanced this week
about Cd. Egyptian and Brazil about 81.
Such year may not occur. again in a
century.
