to 76. In other Foreign Stocks there is no alteration worth notice. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1843. An active demand has been constantly kept up all the week, and a large business has been done daily. So far, however, it has been freely met by the holders; and the speculators and spinners have had an abundant choice of all qualities. In American descriptions there is but little change in prices; the tendency, has been and still is in favour of holders; and it has been thought necessary to raise the quotations of "fair" Uplands and Mobile to 4-7/8d.; but there is so little actual change, that for the most part, the quotations remain as before. Brazils, Egyptian, and long stapled generally, have been more in demand, and may be considered 1/8d. higher. Sea Islands also within the fortnight are 1/2d. higher, making an advance in the ordinary to fair qualities from the very lowest point of 1-1/2d. to 2d. per lb. A considerable part of the speculative business of this week has been prompted by the accounts from the United States, brought by the _Hibernia_ and _Great Western_, the tenor of which is to confirm the previous impression as to short crops. 19,800 American, 100 Egyptian, and 300 Surat have been taken on speculation; and 1,000 American, 300 Pernam, and 200 Surat for export. The following is the Statistical Review of our Cotton Market:-- Taken for Consumption: for Export: from 1st Jan. to 15th Sept. 1842. 1843. 1842. 1843. 794,500 bales. 946,500 bls. 66,500 bls. 65,900 bls. whole Import: 1842. 1843. 1,024,141 bls. 1,401,278 bls. Computed Stock. Average weekly consumption. 15th Sept. 1st Jan. to 15th Sept. 1842. 1843. 1842. 1843. 593,000 bls. 834,000 bls. 21,556 bls. 25,689 bls. For SUGAR there is rather more inquiry, at steady prices.--COFFEE; the sales of plantation trivial without change of price.--INDIGO, price firm at the advance of 3d. to 4d., established at public sale yesterday.--TEA; the market remains rather firm, and a moderate business has been done at previous rates. In other articles of produce a fair amount of business has been done, without any particular features to remark. GRAIN.--There has been rather more demand for old WHEAT, and prices for this and all other articles in the trade
