IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL LETTER PROM LIVERPOOL.
Liverpool, March 26.-The following figures will
give you approximate idea of the supply of Cot
ton for the remainder of this, compared with the
same period last year. The figures for 1858 are
official, and where we have assumed for this year,
LIBERAL allowance, We think has been made; for in
stance, crop your side of 37OO 900 is an outside
estimate and 7OOis more than was ever received
from other countries save in 1857.
1t will only require slight increase in the con-
sumption to absorb the probable excess in the sup
ply for the remainder of 1859; thus the chances
very favorable that the stocks on the lst Janu-
| ary, 1860, will be reduced below the very small
stocks on lst January 1859:
