LIVERPOOL, November 8, 1919.
A momentary dullness pcrvaded our Cotton market
the arrival Of the last steamer, bringing accounts
of a decline in prices in the United States. This
decline being unexpected, sales were in some in
stances effected at rather easier prices, but the first
disappointment having passed away, spectators and
the Trade entered into the market freely, under the
impression that the late accounts from hence would
cause such advance in prices in America materially
to curta the shipment to this country for some time
to COME and stock being much reduced, holders
have succeeded i'll obtaining an advance OF "a ID. u

the market closes firmly. The quotations are fair

LONDON, Nov. 9th, 1919.
A fair business has been done this week in most
descriptions of colonial and foreign produce; and
Coffee, with very active general inquiry, has again
advanced . to 3s ~ cwt., while Sugar, of which
the quantity offered has been rather an excess of the
wants Of the trade, has barely supported its value
The C0Gt6 Market has been in very excited
state, and prices of all descriptions have advanced
to IS. ~ cyt., with continued active inquiry. The
quantity Offered at auction has comprised 1876 casks
2OO0 bags Plantation and 2050 bags Native Ceylon,
141O bags Java, 1000 bags Rio, $50 bags Manila
and 200 bags Costa Rica-the whole of which
eagerly taken by private contract large business
has been done, consisting of upwards OF 10000 bags
Native Ceylon from Al up to AIS. cargo of $500
bags Brazil ailoat private terms, 5000 bags Sama
rang and Java, 1900 bags Spmatra and Padang, 1000
bags Costa RIGA, and 1000 bags Brazil, and we
adjust our quotations accordingly. Ceylon Native,
asa AIS; Samarang and Java, "A to SITS. Sumatra
and Padang 80 to 42s.; Costa Rica 46 to 63s; Porto
Rico and I.aguavra, 10 to SOS; Havana, Al to 5Ss
and Brazil 80 to ass In the Continental Markets
spectators have been extremely active, and prices
have advanced in still greater proportion, the ad-
vices from your Market having given increased con-
fdence.
Sugar-About 27O0hhds and $4,000 bags of Sugar
have been taken by the trade this week, holders
having submitted to occasional concessions of Cd. ~
cwt., and 81 hhds 627 brls. Porto Rico, Cuba SC
at public sale, have only partly found buyers, at
proportionate reduction, while 1000 boxes Havana,
and 500 bags white Brazil have been chiefly taken
in The transactons in foreign, by private contract,
are confined to 5000 bags brown Brazil at lis. ~
cwt., being a full price. The Continental Markets
are firm and letters from Antwerp received to-day,
report business at steady rates Nothing new from
st. Petersburg.
Tobacco-The advance insisted upon by holders
has checked business for the moment both in strips
and leaf but we look for inquiry shortly, the
attention of spectators having already been attract
ed to the article.
AMERICAN SToCKS-There is inquiry for L.
s. Skies Bonds at l06 to 1864, with few sellers. OF
other kinds the quotations rather nominal from
