From Ike Annual Circular of Ike Liverpool United
■ Broke rt.
Import*, Stock nnd Consumption nf Cotton.
LIVERPOOL. Dec. 31. 184(1.
Tltere has seldom been n period during which the
movements of the cotton trade have t>cen so much
in unison with general expectation ns the year just
terminated. A state of depression so intense un.l
wide spreading as to be nii.taken by some fur the
first symptom* of llted'-cline ami Ihllol this branch
of national industry, had been succeeded by • slow
hut progressive nmendm -nt; aril for several weeks
before the commenrement nf tho new year, a'niost
every department of the cotton manufacture bad
resumed its wonted activity. Tim stocks in tins
ports and the interior, if not very heavy, wen* still
nmplo in tho fuce of a coming crop, w hich accord
ing to all reports from tin? United Stairs, gave pro
mi*e of being mo*t abundant; prices were moderate,
compared with what they had been; and money,
though not wanting for all the legitimate purposes
of business, was neither then, nor likely to bo, so
sheup n* to invite extravagant speculation, or to pro
yoke excessive product on.
Surh being the posture -f offiir* in the m-mth of
December, 1339, it req tired no gift of prophecy to
predict tbit th<*approacning year would be ooo of
great plenty, few prices, Inigo consumption, and
small profits. If iliesc result* were pretty accurate
ly foreseen, *° have the incident* of th* year been
few and uninteresting. 1 he commercial operations
in cotton have, in fact, Iteen permuted to flow in
their natural cham cl. The function* of the private
trader have reared to b** invaded and usurped hy
the American Dar.k*; and, the intercourse between
iJh i«ocountries being freed from this pernicious
interference, prices on bodi *id> • of the water have
found their proper l<-vcl, to the manifest advantage
and security of the plaulrr, thipj«r, importer and
cooaumrr.
But tire grand «vent of the year is the marvellous
increase in th* grow hot cotton in the Uai tel State*.
In order to exhibit tin. impoilant fact in its Hue
msgoitu 1* and pfufi#ifi»«n*.it is necessary to take a

favorable summer, with an unprecedentedly open
winter, B-.I the fact itself, however brought nlMiut.
it full of interest to the cotton trade,at It is dostined
pi likably to woik impot tint ihingct, and at noxery
dittani period.
llmnrw year had senterly romtreneetl before tlm
apprehensions ol an ovetw helming import * ere man
tlested in a very general desire to textile existing
pi ices; and hy the la«t week in January, fair quxlt
lie* of American had fallen |d per lb. Nocliatige
beyond an occasional fluctuation of |d per lb. occur
red until tho beginning of June, wl.cn prices rx|«
riviiced n farther reduction ol* |d per lit. making
the decline of Id per lb since the 1st week of the
year. This was the lowest (mint of the maikei;nnd
it I* • circumstance wot thy of notice, that, w ith an
impott, almost unexampled in amount, with an av
erage stock of 470 000 bales, nnd with money rev
or cheap, and ut ilmos exorbitantly dear, fair Up
lands should not havo varied more than ^ to Jd per
lb. for the 0 months between June and November.
Steady rather than extensive buyers waa the char
acter of the mnrkt't during lltia period.
The trade, ns n body—sums from not seeing uny
adequate inducement to hold stack, and not a few
ftom a nei-esxl-y imposed upon them hy the state nf
cummer ini credit—took little more than they re
quhed for their imnirdiato wants Tho burir.c-s i>n
speculation though crippled from tlie hitter cause,
wru* by no means considerable; but, though spreud
pi city equally thruughoat the year, it did not as. unto
n very decided character till toward the middle nf
August, when the fute of the harvest was sup|>ost-d
to bo no longer doubtful. Tho nrarkot, however, ttf
tec a week or two, telnp r.1 into itx former apathy
and wha whh thn stringent measure* of th« Bank
fur curtailiug discounts, and the tlircnt<-ning aspect
of political uflltirs, it wu# n* low perhaps in point of
fooling in tho luiter end of October uml tho begin
nit'g «.f Novcmlier ns nt any period of the year.
From that lime there ha* been u growing impre*
fion that price* had seen tlteir lowc«t| ate! the im
provement w Iticli has been ftadanlly taking place ill
ilia mumifitcluring business seemeu to pultu to thi)
probability and the teasonablcnrs* of some advance.
Coming upon • market thus predisposedjt wa*
to bo rxprett d (bat any accouids in the sligli esl da
greo unfavorable to the prospect of tho ctup would
bo eagerly pi eased intu ilia service. The repons
accordingly received • foritiighi ago of frosts in
some districts, and unpropitious weather in others,
by which the picking bad been prematurely ao*
I*tided, had not been without their effect; and
though ike Iqjury is nut pretended to be to tin ex
lent to awaken any serious apprehensions for the
safety of tho crop, yet, coupled with other ndvici-s
of • similar tendency, they go fur to negative the
possibilny'nf what the holders had the most reasun
to dread—the recurrence of another mop such ns
tlmi of last year.
Be this as it may, the market has since worn o
more elteciful as|N.-ct. and both speculators and tho
trade Imvo puichared with mote avidity than fur
months pu*i,ot a gradual tidvunco of about £ I per
lb. *ii.co tho movement begun in tho s« coud week
in December{ thus plariug the prices of Amuticnn
rollon ot the last day «-f the year within jd per lb
Tor the middling and 4<l |*er lb. for the lamer quell
ties, of wlmt they wore tin the firyl. Surat*, which
front the Urge quanti'y imported Imvo played n
more important purl than usual, have parmken of
the same fluctuation* as American, and bear the
tamo relative price at the close at utthe commence
ntentof the year.
For all description* of long stapled eoltnn this
has been • year of much disappointment. FairSra
Islands, which op<-ned at 23d. per lb. before the end
i.f January fell to I6d per In., and by the middle ol
the following month to I3i}d per lb,| in a few week’s
they rallied tignin to 14j-i per lb., and vibrated be
iwecii.that price and lo^d per |h. for the remainder
of the year. Ksypiijus in tbe firs'Jtwo months ex-
p.-rienced n reducituii of 2d per lb , of w hich they
recovered I.l in ihecouisoof the two next; an-l Her
ing tlio last three months they Imvo guinud until her
4d per ib. Ut axil* continu' d at n decline of |.| per
In. for soveral months,and finally settled down in
October to the lowest point, from which they have
never mov.d; I’ernams nnd Baliintbeing Id per Ib.
and Murnt.li-ins l)d per Ib. below w hat they were
ut tho beginning of the ye.tr. From first to last tho
demind for tliese descriptiara hns been extremely
languid, awing to ilia limited wauls of (lie spin
ner* of tlio finer numbers «»f yarn. The stocks on
bund aro consequently diiprop'.rtionrd to tho cun
sumption, though the supply hns been rather less
than more than it was the previous year.
For thod.tiil* ol stocks and import*, reference
is requested to the annexed table*. Tho import
from tl.o United Stntes into tho kingdom exm-eds
tlmi of lust year hy 420,723 b .|o*{ that of Surat* is
also larger by 83,819 bales.owing partly to an nbun
dent rrop, and patily to tho i„t. rruptlon of tho in
lercourso lietwcen India and China, which bus Leon
the mentis of diverting a portion of tho c»tlttn ties
tilted fur tlio hitter to this country. The growth of
tlio Until* appears to bo on tl.e decline, the sup
plies tlienco bavin- been diminishing furs* me yours.
From Egyi't the import ha* licrn the same within
three or lour thousand bales in rxre*s of Inst year's.
The stork of all kinds in the pons amounts to 40-1,
100 bales, being an increase upon the slocks held
at the corresponding |«riod of la.t year of 198,G1U
hale*.
The deliveries to tho trade, ocOtiling to the u*u
nl mode of nscertainiug tliem, have linen fittm Liver
I tool, London, nnd Glasgow, 1.285.598 hule* oral
tlie rate of 24,921 bales per week, which quantity
may hr* taken to represent also the consumption,
•opposing tho stocks in the interior to bo tlio some
ns ut this tinto Inst year. This laitui- is a point si
ways difli.-iilt of proof | hut, from the known inahili
ly of many of (be spinners to hold stock, und from
general inquiries, thi: may be a-sumed in theaflirm
niivcj but udmitiing that it is some 30,000 bales
more, ticCording to ill© opinion nf many, the differ
vneo in dealing with such large quantities cnnnnt
materially uff-ct the result- This increase in the
cun*umpiion 3015 bales per week, or 14 per cent,
upon the Inst year’s, is the morerematkable ns Imv
ing been accomplished without the addition, in tiny
corresponding drg.ee, ol new mills or new tnaclt n
cry.
Tire narrow mirgin left for profit ban led to the
introduction of more expeditious processes, while
tlm chcitpmssi of the raw mnioriul hits offered every
encouragement for the production of a moresuhston
lialfsbric. The demand, indeed, has been chiefly
f..r low numbers of yarn and for heavy goods, which
for the ln*t few month* nt least, have found a ready
nta.ket at home and alirond. Tint sticks of gmnL
am believed to be more considerable than those nf
yarn; the export of the latter having Iteen,according
to “Bum’s Commercial Glance,*' greater by about
33 per cent, duntg the first nine months this year
tintn for tlio corresponding period lust, In goods,
tho ex|tnri, as given hy tho same publication, lias
Iteen les>; but owing to the variety in the denomina
lions, the comparison in point of weight cannot
readily be made.
With respect tn it e future, upon which some
opinion on this annual occasion i- expected, the
{.sue of the last crop has involved ibo subject in
greater difficulty than usual. 6«i l ing as the giowth
of cotton in America proceed'd with the steady
murrli which characterised il fur several years prior
to 1837, n peri'-d during which the rate «.f increase
was seldom less than 4 per cent, nr more than 8 | or
cent, per annum, the supply mi;ht he n-gaidod. if
not •* a fixed qomti'y, at least as vibrating between
surlt narrow limits as rendered it not likely, -ingly
c >n-idered. to effect any great or permanent revolu
lion in the standard of prices. But what has been
the erperieoco of tbe last three years f .
The first gave a crop exceeding hy notes* than
20 J percent that of the year before, which, he it ob
served, was larger by five per cent than any former
one; the second, though visited by • long drought,
which materially injured the plant, produced a full
averagonf the four previous years, omitting the large
crop uftho preceding yeat; and the third yielded
an increase of 31 per cent, not upon the failing crop
wipe I* it followed, but upon that of tins year hutuo*
brfufe, which, it must bo remembered, was larger
f.y 2C| percent than any upon reemd up to that
lino-, tlio* showing an increnso In tin? Ia*t crop of
