LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
Report for th< ,osek ending March 81
The information from America, received u fort
night ago that the receipt Of cotton at the ports
was $4,000 bales more than the previous year,
caused naturally enough decline Of Id per ID. On
the contrary, the additional advices received a
week ago, that the receipts had further risen TO
an EXCESS of $4,000 bales, brought about an
advance Of ID. Ofcourse this upward turn is not
strictly speaking, attributable 10 the increased re-
ceipts; but as those statements were accompanied
by such positive and absolute adyices that the
whole crop, Notwithstanding the large receipts,
would not exceed the former short crop estimates,
has given confidence, an upward tendency to
prices
One great reason of the steady demand from
the trade the absolute barrenness Of their stocks
All yet remains for proof; the probability appears
to be that the crop will prove to be very mode
rate one jusifying the currency now in existence
1t cannot, however, be doubted that any non-fa-
voring circumstances would instantly tell upon
present raised scale Of prices; is the period
