At the Liverpool Cattle Market to-day the sup-
plies were smaller than on Monday last, eld
a better trade was experienced, at advanced
prices.

gates of treigtt.
The Freight Market is inactive, and we have
no operations to report this week. Rates are
unaltered for India and China, but an advance
may be looked for in outward rates, as the confirm-
ation of the peace with China leaves no doubt that
many of the transports will be paid off, which
doubtless will cause a fall in homeward freights.
Political and financial troubles in the United
States, and a severe frost here, closing our inland
water communication for the present, has brought
shipments to the United States' ports almost to a
stand-still, and our quotations are almost nominal.

sot: and Co.'s Circular.)

ps at our ports in 1860
;qual to those in 1859,

_ e any marked advance
in prices. In one or two exceptional cases we
have obtained as much as £9 per ton register, for
very superior new British colonial-built vessels,

classed A 7 years ; but the general nitty-ttrP
quoted at from £8 to £8 15s per ton, as shown by
the sales of 15 new vessels during the past month.
The prices of British-built high classed vessels are
still lower than for some years past; and this,
with the high price of labour and material, has
caused many builders to cease building for the
market, and to lay down vessels only that have
previously been contracted for. Iron ship-building
is increasing, though generally only to order, and
moderate sized iron vessels suitable for China and
the West Coast of America, are much inquired
after. The sales of such vessels during the year
produce an average rate of £l5 per ton, builders'
measurement ; and at this price we are still
enabled to effect contracts for vessels to be built,
by eminent builders, classed A 1 twelve years
at Lloyd's, with a complete East India outfit.
There are now 61 vessels for sale in this port :
the greater number of which arc Colonial built,
and their aggregate tonnage is 29,408 tons, being
12 ships, and 8,480 tons less than at 31st Dec.,
1859. We shall have a larger supply of new tonnage
from the Colonies, but only a small proportion
can arrive before August or September, and we
do not apprehend the whole will be more than
necessary to meet the losses of the year, and the
rapidly expanding trade of the country. Vessels
from 4 to 10 years old, both British and Colonial-
built, that have not yet lapsed from their original
class of A 1, are always in demand, and for those
of a lower class suitable for carrying timber or
cotton (of which there are very few for sale), there
are, particularly at this season, numerous buyers
at advanced prices. The steam tonnage of the
the United Kingdom, has within the last five years
increased in a much greater proportion than that of
sailing vessels, and in a much greater ratio than that
of any other nation. While, at the end of 1855 it
amounted to 288,956 tons, it increased in 1859 to
389,515 tons, being about 35 per cent. more.
There is apparently a tendency to substitute the
rapid and comparatively certain power of steam
for the more uncertain power of wind, and this
tendency will become stronger, should the various
experiments for economising fuel prove to be as
successful as they are expected. A large busi-
ness has been done in the sale of steamers during
the year : several important sales having been
made for foreign account. For the trade of our
own country there has been a good demand; the
increased traffic of some of the leading railways
having induced an opposition by screw-steamers,
whereby both purchasers and charterers have
been brought into the market. With regard to
the 'Kant -OC-steamers-for emplcryment, we maS•
quote the rates at which we have chartered
steamers during the year, which vary from 19s
to 23s per ton gross per month, on the govern-
ment form of charter, and from 13s to 15s 6d per
ton in cases where the charterers pay all expenses,
the boats being insured at the cost of the owners.
For one very fine screw-steamer we obtained
16s 8d per ton.

E-Rani Narket.

(From John L. Bowes mod Brother's Annual Circular.)

The Wool Market now presents many features
si►nilar to what it did at the close of 1859. Stocks
are light, consumption large, and prices high. For
the future the parallel is less favourable. Although
the Chinese war is over, and that market again
open to our goods, and though Europe is nomi-
nally in a state of peace, the increased value of
food and money, the uncertain position of Euro-
pean politics, and, still more, the unsettled condition
of our best foreigti customers, the United States,
all contribute to produce a state of things which
leaves the market open to unfavourable influences ;
but it must be admitted that the high range of
value now ruling tor Wool is entirely the legiti-
mate result of consumption having encroached too
closely upon supply, and the main cause of high
prices is still in force. During the year now
closing the Wool Market has usually been steady,
with a few intervals of dulness, and prices, which
have fluctuated about 10 per cent., are in most
instances on a par with those quoted in our last
annual circular, the chief exceptions being bright-
haired combing domestic fleeces and competing
descriptions of foreign, these having advanced ld
to lid per lb. The chief scarcity is of sound long-
stapled Wools, prices of which have advanced in
a greater ratio than those of short tender ill-grown
classes. Canada has this year supplied us, vid
the United States, with 3,000 bags of a very
suitable character for our market, but which Wool
admits of a considerable improvement in growth,
as well as greater care in classification. California
and other countries on the Pacific promise to be
large producers, and possess varieties of climate
and other requisites calculated for raising many
descriptions ; and it is a question for farmers,
where herbage is abundant and other conditions
suitable, whether they may not do better by
growing a large fleece of a breed approximating
to the Leicester rather than a small one of the
Merino. Many other countries in various parts
of the world, particularly Northern Africa, Turkey,
Egypt, Russia, Portugal, the East Indies, &c.,
possess breeds of sheep, the wool of which, by
the introduction of suitable rams, •or by judi-
cibus crossing with the best of what they already
have, might be vastly improved and rendered
adaptable to many additional purposes. Care
should be taken to eliminate those sheep whose
white Wool is spoiled by a sprinking of thick
coloured hairs; the Wool should be sent to market
more free of burrs, seeds, and filth ;, the matted,
inferior, and coloured fleeces should be packed
separately from the good white ones. At the
same One an indiscriminate growth of long Wool
is not at all desirable, for the climate and herbage
of some countries—which eminently favour the
Merino and Mestizo breeds (for which Wool
there is a sufficient and increasing demand)—
would prove entirely unsuitable to a larger kind.
The object of these remarks is merely to suggest
improvement in eises where little attention has
been paid, and where much has been left to
nature or chance. The import of Wool into the
United Kingdcm during the past eleven months
shows an increase of 10 per cent. on the corres-
ponding period of last year, and an increase of
22 per cent. on the average of the five years pre-
ceding the present. The quantity re-exported
during the eleven months shows an increase on
1859 of 3 per cent., but including the export of
Domestic the increase is 10 per cent. on 1859 :
on the average of 1855 to 1859 a decrease of 5 per
cent. is shown. Assumi9g the growth of Do-
mestic to be unaltered, though there is good

IMP.ROVEYEAT 1N GENTLEMEIV'S HATS.

Tint EBARN-BTREET, LIVERPOOL,

GENTLEMEN —I have given your Patent Easy-fitting Hat a
fair trial, and I must say it is the most comfortalm hat I ever
wore, particularly when crossing the water in a windy day,
when with the old style of hat I invariably had a headache,
which with your new style is not the case. I can, therefore,
safely recommend it to any one, particularly to those subject
to headache.—l am, gentlemen, yours truly.

I have worn for some time one of the Patented Easy-fitting
Hats sold by Mr. -, and I can testify to the advantage
derived from the absence of that unpleasant pressure, particu-
larly on the forehead, usually felt from the hats generally worn.
