LIvERPooL MARKET.-The following report of
the Liverpool market for the week ending the
l4th ult., is taken from Messrs. w. @. Watts &
Co.'s circular Of the latter date, viz
In our issue Of 3lst nit. we reported large
weeks business, the market closing firm at 3d. 10
SD. for middng uplands TO Orleans, std. for fair
Pernams sgd. for fair Egyptians, and d. for fair
Dhollerah. On the following Monday it became
| known that receipts ct the American ports for
week ending the 9TH ult. were IS 900 bales, with
| exports 10 Great Britain and the continent Of
| Ga co., against receipts of 1000 aud exports Of
| "A 600 bales for the preceding week. Neither the
| receipts nor the exports were as large as antlc
| pated consequently the demand continued very
active up 70 Wednesday morning, when mid
ding uplsnds on the spot were sold at SD, and
Gales ''to arrive" were made at 9l6d. for up
lands SID. for Mobile and SD. for Orleans. This
advance brought q large quantity Of Cotton
| "fOr sale to srriye"-on the market, and prices
| suddenly dropped both on the spot and 70. ar.
rive, 4G2d. u D., but this decline holders showed
no disposition 10 SELL and notwithstanding We
| have had quiet market for the past two days,
| there is no quotabe change 10 prices. the market
| closing to-day firm at our quotations, az given
above, which indicate an advance during the
| week Of I'd. on American, Id. on Pefnam5 aud
| Egyptians, and Cd. On fair Dholerah To arrive.
we now quote-Basis Of middling uplnds $40
| 5-lGd.. Mobile e2d., aud Orleans and Texas SD,
fsir Dhollerah, January sailing, It'd.
| The sales Of the week sum up ia, $50 bales,
OF which 50 $50 were taken by the trade, 10 40
| declared for export. and rs 060 taken on specula
ton. The transactions in cotton TO arrive from
America and India have been unusually large.
In our last report we called special attention to
| the strong statistical position of this market,
| which is now even stronger in this respect than
il was a week ago, the stock being reduced TO
2SS, COO bales which Is az 500 bales less than at
same time last year and if to this we add the
| decrease of supply at sea and In the American
ports, according 10 our latest advices we have a
total apparent deficit in supply as compared with
| last year OF 53S 600 bales. Indian cotton seems
likely TO get exhausted altogether 10 few weeks;
we have now on hand, according to our figures
| about 70, $50 bales, and as the trade and export
demand have taken an average Of 81 43l bales
| per week during this year, we have only on hand
about two weeks' supply.
The arrivals from India for two months to come
must be on an exceedingly moderate scale, and
will be consumed as fast as they are imported
The total consumption of Cotton In the United
Kingdom ia now about 900 bales per week more
than it was last year; the actusl deliveries for the
trade and export exceed the deliveries for the cor
responding weeks last year by 204 95l bales. while
prices in the American ports are relatively 3Did
cearer than-here. With the very small stock o.
Snrats, we may confidently look for very large
demand for American Cotton, especially of those
grades which can best supply the place Of Indian
All these things are in favor Of Cotton, and II We
add that continental affairs look very quiet anC
promising at the present moment. it really look
as II we must have higher prices. On the 0the
hand. the quantity of Cotton in, and afioat for
continental markets is very considerable excess
Of last year; prices are now about II. z ID highe
than the lowest point touched; spectators arr
| beginning TO look upon Cotton operations as haZ
ardous; spinners have now o large quantity OF
hand and aflo8t, and 1t Is not improbable, should
there be any further material advance in prices
II may check business AZ Manchester; spinner
may then hold out of the Market and We MAJ
have q backward turn in prices.
We have no doubt that, on account of the re
cent advance here, mach less cotton OF the oil
crop will be held back in the States than was a
one time anticipated and it is expected that, a
| the tax had been removed from the crop of 1865
o stimulus will be given to planting and NOR
| cheerful accounts will reach us from the Southern
States than we have been receiving for some tim
past. IL Is considered, however, that the cours
| Of prices for some weeks to come will be great.
influenced by the receipts at American ports, an
| ii they should fall short Of what ID anticipate
here, it viii have marked effect on prices.
