LIVERPOOL, Jan. 24.-Throughout the past week good demand prevailed for cotton, leading to ex- tensive transactions, especially in American dcscrp- tions. On the 18th instant indeed, the business was so lively to lead to partial advance of 1-6d per lb. the current prices of the 18th instant but the freedom with which imports have, on each subse- quentday, met the demand, has had the effect of lessenng the frmness of the market, and the sales of thelatter part of the week may be considered on lar with our last general quotations. The im- port hts continued to be smal and snce the 1s inst the stuck in this port is reduced to about 45 900 bags The accounts from Manchester, with regard to the adjustment of the existing disputes between the spinnes, who have been off work for higher wages, and thiremployers, differ as to the probability ofan early ettlement ofther affairs but our private in- formaton leads us to the conclusion, that the work men will resume their employments within very short Priod-probably by the end of this month which circumstance may be expected to have rather a favonble influence upon this market.
