lands TO Orleans. The general feeling in the Cot

unbroken quiet, prices closing to-day at ID. de-
cline, b@4d. in East India, and l@4d. in Egyptian

In commenting upon the present condition OF
our market, We have to notice the large sales ~ to
arrive" as continuing to exercise q most unfavor-
able Influence on prices here. Spnners being
| able TO supply their future wants by pur-
chasing Cotton sflOat at reduced prices will only
operate here, and take from our present stocks
such small quantities as will suffice to keep their
mills working until The arrival Of Cotton they had
previously purchased. When these PURCHASES do
come into Liverpool they will be included in the
daily sales, and sent direct to the mills so that
we may see comparatively large daily sales
reported here without much sctual activity.
Were 1t not that so much cotton is being sold
which is yet at sea, we I'D ght and probably would
have, more active demand ON the spot. Ii is an
uDdonbted fact that manufacturers of shirings for
india now hold heavy contracts, and are very
tenacious Of any other stocks they may have TO
part with, because they have not much apprehen.
sion, owing TO the extent of contracts held that
prices for the present will go much lower. Or
leans cotton is now purchasable at I'd ~ To-, a
price which was sometimes exceeded before the
American war; and although we have not yet seen
any Improvement IN prices az Manchester, yet
manufacturers are less panic stricken, and not
disposed to be pressed into sales at lower prices
so readily. Sill, while all this il true, business at
Manchester is dull and an additional duietus was
given TO il this week by the stoppage of Bonn
bay house, with estimated liabilities of about
elO0 600. We have also this week seen a down
ward tendency in all kinds Of securities, more
especially in railway stock, which, combined with
the approaching holidays, when business is always
more or less suspended, have contributed their
share in making us quiet in cotton here. We do
not expect 10 see much revival in the demand till
January, and then should the actual stock, which
will be ascertained on LIST January, prove to be
much larger than estimated, and should receipts
a. American ports prove very large, we would not
be surprised TO see prices even lower than those
now ruling. At the same time the conviction
seems TO be growing that prices are now closely
approaching their lowest point; that the con-
sumption Of cotton next year will be immense
that India and Egypt will fall short of last year ia
exports to this country and that once spectators
are convinced that values can go but little if any
lower, they, along with trade, will come into the
market, and create a very large demand aud
sharp reaction IN prices.
Referring particularly to America, it will be
seen that the stock here, at sea ana ia the Amer
lean ports ia now 442 060 bales, an increase of
50 $50 bales, as compared with last week, and a
decrease Of 244 $50 bales, as compared with last
year.
The total stock here to-day is estimated at AGO..
$40 against 532 $50 bales same time last year. with
1872 600 against l22 600 bales at sea, showing a de
crease in the apparent supply of 1850 bales, SIS
compared with last year. Imports this week have
been heavy, say 50 2S5 bales including 27,22l
from America and 1854 from India. Imports
from the East Indies may be expected TO be
moderate for some time to come. Sales of the
week sum up 6s,530 bales including So AGO taken
by the trade, 400 reported for export, and 1870
on speculation.
Our latest quotation from New York is dated
18th instant, quoting middling American at Isle,
costing TO sell in Liverpool 73d. by sailing vessel
fSd. by steamer. On Monday private kilograms
reported receipts for week ending 18th Decem-
Der at $4,000 bales against 10 600 bales last year
with stock at all pOrts at 800 600 bales, against
100000 bales same time last year. Havre, stock

against l0S,92t last year. London, stock last
