ward tendency Of this market The increasing
receipts Of cotton into the ports OF America,
ssem to extend the ideas of the trade TO an nn-
limited supply. The inability Of many importers
to hold, and the Discrimination of others to add
n their stocks, has kept the market freely sup
piled, and in fsvcrish state all week, and The
last day OF two has manifested itself more de-
cidsdiy In declining prices, during which time
the qualities Of American below fair have re-
eeded one-fourth of penny to three eighths OF
penny per ID. The better grades are more
firmly held, and being in demand for export,
have yielded about one-eighth of penny per To-
The enormous reduction in prices OF goods and
yarns is beginning to tell; sope large opera
tons have been entered into during the week,
and at prices now current there can be no doubt
Of good demand from manufacturers. This
must increase the consumption Of cotton but,
with our stock of American, now exceeding half
million of bales, it must be expected large
quantity is yet in weak hands, and until this

for an increased consumption with warm

dearer, E29 10. having been obtained for some

LIVERPOOL, May %, 1851.
After the departure of the Baltic, on the 4th
inst, we had a decided reaction in cotton, with
an advance in prices of I'd. per h., accompanied
by general impression that the market had
seen the lowest point. This better state OF
things barely LASTED three days when the mar
ket again relapsed into the privious dnllness, and
became even more gloomy than before. Holders
apparently lost all confidence, and determined
anxiety to realise has been apparent throughout
the week, causing decline in the lower and
middling quantities of fully I'D. per h., and OF
following being the official quotations, which are
quite nominal Fair Orleans. 81 middling do,

In Manchester, the business in yarns and
goods hns been equally dull, lower prices hav-
ing at present created no increased demand.
The sales of cotton for the week are est.
mated at al ,27O bales, of which spectators have
taken 1880, and exporters 1880 bales.
The import of cotton into this port for the
week amounts to l0l,5ll bales. The tota
stock la this port is estimated at 70l 900 bales
against 900 at this period of last year; the
stock of American 500, 900, against $4,000
bales at the same time.
