LATER European advces by the steamship America
which left Liverpool the 18th April have come to hand
last They favorable than anticipa-
ted the expected demonstration by the English Chartsts
had proved failure, and in consequence commercial affairs
looked rather less gloomy Cotton had fallen 1ad but the
decline had been recovered before the America left The
next news from England WILL probably reach by the
Britannia advertised to leave Liverpool for Boston the
22d ult.
COTToN-The news by the America has exeted but
little influence upon Cotton Market the private let
tiers still of gloomy character, and The orders received
from England are few and limited low figures The sales
of the three days follows 1900 bales Saturday $500
on Monday and 400 to-day making total of L. 900 bales
taken chiefly for the North. Prices close firmly to-day
atthe range of our quotations which we have raised slightly
for the Mddlng grades.
