Liverpool accounts to May 16 show demand for cotton with prices advancing about 1d per lb and most sales at 119 to 123d per lb. Liverpool and Manchester reports note improved demand, steady export competition, and a large import of American cotton nearing 39,000 bales short of last year while sales reach about 30,000 bales in the five days ending May 9.
Reports from Liverpool to the United Kingdom indicate favorable receipts and renewed confidence in upland cotton. Upland stock is low and arrivals are light, with about 2000 bales traded near 10 3/12 cents for extra prime, while staples and other fibers see modest activity and steady prices. Freight rates to Liverpool and Havre are listed, with Boston and Providence also cited in the wholesale grocery and dry goods market notes.
The report details a cautious week for cotton and staple goods with limited sales and firm prices. Upland cotton saw steady demand and a modest weekly sale, while long cotton remained high-priced and reluctant to move. Rice flour and sugar markets showed dull activity amid uncertain prices, and exchange rates edged through a tight credit environment as stock levels remained lean.

Weekly clearances include Philadelphia 189 barrels, 250 barrels, Boston 15 barrels, Baltimore 60 barrels, Charleston 57 barrels, Newport 50 buildings, 150 barrels.
