LIVERPOOL CoTroN MARKEr, July 10, lS47.-The
prospects of abundant deficient harvest ut this
of the year have much Influence on the cotton
trade of this country that 1t is with much pleasure we
inform you that since the date of circular of the Sd
instant per Britannia, the weather, for all growing
crops has been exceedingly favorable The accounts
from the continent where the harvest Is general
also most encouraging; and though from some
quarters in Ireland still hear Of the potato disease 1t
appears of O much mder description than formerly
and in places where 1t supposed to have COM
the late delightful weather to have stay
cd its progress We decidedly of opinion, from all
the information collect respecting the crops that
in previous year have they looked promising
than this period and from the great increase Of land
think, with continuance Of fine weather, we
may fairly look for OF the most abundant harvests
produced in this country The accounts received
abundant supply of food from the United States whilst
the advanced rate of exchange not only aays ali fear
Of extensive export of bullion, but encourages the
hope tht large orders for British manufactures be
anticipated. The money market during the early part
of the past week. slightly affected by the proposal of
the French loan for 81 1000 900 sterling but the last
day it has again been easier and discounts Of

change IN the rate Of exchange at New York and the
possible tightening of money In this country the mar

past week it has again rallied many large orders spe
