FOREIGN MARKETS-By the Hibernia.
Liverpool Cotton Market, May 12.-The
market has been acted upon by the late import,
and has consequently rather given way in the
mlddhng and common qualities of American.
The decline in these descriptions is nearly
One-elghth, all other kinds remaining as be-
fore, leaving fair Uplands as quoted last week.
namely, 4 7, and fair Orleans at AID. The
great bulk of the late arrivals from the United
States consists of the qualities most under the
influence OF the present pressure, that is, the
common and middling qualities. On the 9TH
er hand, the fair TO good, which are in demand
for export and are becoming comparatively
scarce, maintain their ground stoutly, and per-
haps we might say, are rather higher; how
ever, they firmly maintain previous quotations.
What we still want 10 set in vigorous motion
is little more trade demand and the stocks,
whether Of the raw material or the manufac-
tured, the low price to which every thing has
sunk, the price of provisions, abundance of
money, favorable seasons of the year, and the
hope of tranquility being preserved on the
continent, all seem to favor the hope of an
early improvement, in this respect. 1860
