LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKEr-LiverpoolM May
all the present week the market has
remained dull and with continual tendency to
decline in price. The advices Of the Baltic, which
were received Tuesday, bringing continued
increasing relative rates on such scale as to
invalidate all the lower estimates formed of the
CROP have shaken the confidence of holders, and
have induced pressure to sell cotton, accompanied
by material decline in prices. The trade, true to
their former policy, have purchased sparingly and
the total sales have been 2S,050 bales. The de-
znand is somewhat more general, several parties
having made limited purchases on speculation, but
quite unaccompanied by any advance. The sales
are 5000 bales, including 1000 taken speculation
for export. American descriptions very dull
sale, and they have again declined from ID to id.
per pound, the quotations OF fair qualities being
uniformly reduced I'd. per pound The past month
opened under the influence Of large receipts, and
Increasing estimates of the crop then blooming,
current in the ports Of the United States. These
exercised a corresponding influence upon prices
here, a nd the same cause seconded by somewhat
dull state of general trade have occurred in limiting
the demand for cotton during the whole of April
The trade are rigdly combining their purchases to
the supply Of their present wants. The home
consumption is generally maintained and the stock
of manufacturers is not large, but the prices
obtainable are not generally remunerative, and
there is an absence of that commercial activity
which has usually attended the transactions of the
present season. Much advantage is confidently
anticipated from the favorable and exciting nfu
ence Of the exhibition now open in London. From
Meriott IL Co.'s Circular.
"Nor ONE JEw."-It is said that not one Jew
during the Revolutionary war, took part agains
the liberal party, and the Jews have always taker
the side of freedom against oppression. That they
should love liberty as much as other people, will
appear natural enough, when we remember tn,
tyranny and hardships 10 which the monarchies o
the world have subjected their ancestors for sl
many hundred years.
