LIVERPOOL, Jan. LIP. NJ.
Cotton-Bus mess is slow in recovering lis former
spirit and activity. During the last two three
weeks little more demand has come upon us prompt
cd by very moderate Increase OF consumption. ne
natural effect OF this increased trade business was
little strengthening tn price Of the raw mat rial;
and such thu case, though only to very limited
extent, reported in circular Of last Friday.
But on Tuesday, the Manchester market day, and
subsequently, II was made apparent that the addition
al supply OF yarn and goods Of this ncreas-
cd consumption, has in some degree overloaded the
market and added the dizziness and depression pre-
viuusly existing in the trade. The result has bcena
corresponding reaction upon u.s. and slight retro
grade movement OF about 3D. per h. Ill the prices OF

better qualities, say ''iIr," and upwards, OF which

kinds without chang, can we look for any mate
rial change in the direction OF prices, until parties are
prepared to hold their imports for demand, or
better state OF things shall spring up in the manuac-
turing districts. $50 American, and 500 Sarat have
been taken on speculation and % American for OK
port. Sales for the week 25,56O bales.

of the notice given to the men OF reduction in wages
in Saiordshirc, great many OF the works are stand

there are few who will make contracts at present

fine qualities command former prices; middlng and
