Er,yrci Of a lererfrom liverpool, March %.
The sfpply Of Cotton to this port continues
very extensive. amounting, III the last three
.,.,s,, 10 C8. 900 bales; whilst the sales in the
am, fine exceeded 6l,0OO bales. of which only
fgG are 70 spectators. Prices generally rate
), for common qualities of American descrip-
mons. and II for good, above the currency at the
c.O,e of last month.
.;As compared with this period of last year,
tle,lppIy to the Kingdom presents an increase
from the United States of 10, 500 bales; but from
s1er quarters there is falling on to the amount
oi6.4OO. In the export, there is decrease Of
200 bales. And the stock, as compared with
Ao 1T of January presents an increase of
1900 bales in L. 5. descriptions, hut in other
Minds decrease Of $4,000; and it is computed
TIA, the trade now holds 10000 bales more than
"a Is, January.
With regard to the future state of the mar
k, ltmav be observed, not only that the extern
ave purchases, In face Of such heavy arrivals,
bear s'idence ola good opinion being entertained
b. The manufacturers, but that, from every ac-
ullt, their business with the exception of yarns
Ion the Continent is now greater than 1t ever
Ia, been: and at the same time the advance at
sil2dm the scale of their goods is fully equal TO
Na they have given for the raw material
Holding, however, SO much cotton as they now
@neanhardly be expected that. for some weeks
o come. their purchases here will continue on as
,rslt a scale as they have been of late; and. in
nat event, unless spectators come forward, our
market would decline I'd. or so; but any imme-
late reduction beyond that is not very likely
y owing to he favorable change ofopinion, ma
lyperSOns would now be found willing TO invest
IA the article. prices should recede to the rates
current at the close of last month. Of the proba-
BE state Of things three months hence, we do
ROT pretend to offer opinion, it being entirely de-
peadent on the extent of our supply from the U.
States, and Of which you can best Judge on the
pot"
"Linpo0l, March 25.-Contrary TO our ex-
