Sentiment in the cotton markets has steadily weakened again, and prices have receded almost day by day. Trade buying of cotton for American mills still appears to be on a better scale, but New York has been un- favourably influenced by Liverpool, where the demand for actual cotton has shewn a marked falling off once! more, and fairly extensive selling has taken place. No support is forth- coming from the mills here and in spite of the better New York adrices it is quite impossible to maintain any steadiness in prices until there is an all-round improvement. The latest Census Buress Report of American.. cotton gianed up to the 16th inst. is 12,016,000 bales against 10,307,120| last year, and 11.04892 the year before.
