FROM LOckndrL * DtlhpslelS Liverpool III
cular OF February 9, We copy the following:
Duringthe last few days there has been an in
creased demand, from all classes Of buyers,
chiefly for American descriptions, prices Of
which have advanced; while other sorts have,
vita one or two exceptions, receded in value.
Since the beginning Il sic year the purchases
by spinner have averaged only Sfs0 GAGS per
week, while the weekly consumption has been
about 5000, and as the stock held by spinners
AT the close of last year was only 10000 bales, it
would seem that their present working stock
must be rsaucea h. . sety igw figure, probably
about 1000 bales. This, no daubE asepunts in
some measure for The present active demand,
and the fact Of so great a preference being
shown or American, indicates plainly that. at

The Manchester market has been dul, with
prices gradually declining. until yesterday,
when there was a pause in the wnw
movement, and a slight improvement in the
general tone Of business. To-day there has
been more doing at better prices, bnt the adj
vance asked has a tendency to check transac-
tons. The Money market during the week has
been without material change. The Quotations
Of Exchange from India continue favorable,
but the position Of the Bank OF England does
not yet improve as uAigbs b. expected after 50
