CoTroH-To-dsy and tomorrow being observed
az holidays in England business is and will con-
time TO be partially or wholly suspended In the
Liverpool market, and probably owing TO the
latter fact the movement in the staple at New
York, as advised by telegraph, is almost at a stand
still. We are therefore wholly deprived OF the
usual outside influences, and as buyers appeared
to be exceedingly shy throughout the dav, sales
have been restricted 10 500 bales in several small
lots. The effect of Saturdays advance at Liver
pool has been more fully developed here TO day,
however, as factors generally held their supplies,
which were very slight, at materially higher
prices AID succeeded in realizing an improvement
of fully &c. % n. upon the operations of the day.
We have again revised our figures and now quote
as follows. viz Good ordinary 270-c.; low mid
ding 2s@2sAc, and middling 2s029&c.

LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER NARKETs.-Th

suit. The shipments from America for the wee
ending sth inst. (2S 900 bales,) were some 5000
10000 bales larger than anticipated; the repor
from Manchester were extremely dscouragins
the imports were large, and il was evident thei
