Cotton has advanced during the past two months
nearly Ice. q Ii ana the pro.Iect at present is
moro ndica'yc o. sisl further advance than at any
time since January Ii IS idle TO suppose shat the
Iaw material should advance 30 largely, and not
affect the value Of the manufactured
article when ,hlee-iourths Of the cost OF tie fabric
arises from the cost OF the raw maiorisl For
instance: heavy sheeines selling at l4ic.. cost
about 3jc y III for the stock ond or Ge. Z lb may
b. estimated as the cot OF the labor of mapuiactur
ing. That being the basis for estimate, any one Can
Judge of the remuneration Afforded. Manufacturers
having demaud for their specinities prlh'eir ior
instance have bought for consumption nearly iV,oVV
bales of cotton during the last SIXTY days; bu, Il 'is
oueration should be continued during tie next
two months without any increased surply, ever!
bale in ihe market would lie taken, ana prices
advance accordingly. 9'hie may not occur for the
great majority Of mills viii discontinue production
after the 18th Of May. All agree, however, lh"i
when these tfeores arc proved facis that general
speculation will take place in goods such a. We ha'e

Our l. ycrpool correspondent advises as That tie
trade il Cotton in that market shows decided I'M
proyemen;, and great activity prevails. That the
rapidly dimnsbed stocks creates great uUe.sner' a.
to future supply, and large advance is expected.
With this view we nrst not rely upon any rc.Lip.
ments from Liverpool. but dcpcnd upon tie ''ra!
lots which ARE seeking a maIke. from the reto.-o'
S,.tes. There is one feature Of tho maffc H-ich

The Domestic Woolen goods market is inactive as

and Cassimeres. The prevailing style is rather OF
sujdued character, without any striking novelties.
