Cotton.
The market was IN an unsatisfactory condi-
ton yesterday, aud neither buyers nor sellers
showed much disposition to operate. There
was a little inquiry for even running, choice
lists for s%pinners' use, and one lot OF Middling,
no bales, brought * cents; another OF Good
MiddIing. p bales. ~ cents. There was 9 desire
to hear from Europe and have some basis OF
action, before doing any large business, and the
market wastoo unsettled and irregular TO make
it possible TO give quotations OF any value, and
we omit them. A New York dispatch came TO
hand, quoting: "Geld sgSgS9%, Cotton quiet,
NHddliug 4aa50c." A second dispatch said:
"Gold W.. Cotton unchanged" This intelli-
1ence lad no perceptlble effect on the market,
owing to the desire TO await Liverpool news.

The expression Of opinion by experts is regarded
with great interest; we therefore copy such ex-

In Foster, Copeland & Co.'S New York annual
circular. which has Just reached us, we ind the
foilowIng are of opinion that unless a
material decline takes place in Gold and for
elpn exchange. a decline In Liverpool of twoto
three penes viii not affect this market to a
great extent. The quantity now used by home
manufacturers is ON the increase, and with the
heavy demand for their fabrics, we anticipate a
largely increased consumption. Holders show
great faith in the future, and part with good
lists only when compelled 10 sell, believing that
a very material advance will take place when
the receipts fall OF, aud when the supply ceases
20 be "a subject OF speculation We have been
favored with "a copy of Waits * Co.'S Liverpool
Market Report Of december ", from which we
emmy the following: IA stock of Cotton IN
Liverpool. declared this morning, amounts to
s71,275 bales. including 1922 American.
Hv comparing these figures with the estimated
stock, il will be seen that the total stock is only
l7S5 in excess OF the estimates, but the stock OF
American and other long stapled sorts turns
ont gg445 bales less. o % q In reference to the
general position OF this market, we would add,
the popular opinion here at present is that the
old stock Of Cotton In the Southern States al
the close Of the war, and the crop Of this year,
will turn out I.750.UJ0 to 100000 bales, or about
.hHLND DAlt> more imam was bcAtAhAg suppose

about 81 pence higher than at present. This
Increase in the estimated supply from the States
wouId no doubt have depressed prices below
rates now current but for the uniavorable re-
ports in reference TO The present s ysten oflaboi
in the Southern states, and the very uniavOra-
Bile advices from Egypt as TO the crop this year
il now being generally conceded that the crop
is not only much inferior In quality, but Ia
quantity is not more than half Of last year's
crop
