00110N.—Lregitroot,, Dec. 23.—The business to-day
has been upon a large seals, with dearer prices. The sake
are 39,000 bales, including 500 American, 224 d. to Ziid. ;

231 d. ; at which 12.000 are for speculation and export. The
week's import is 107 bales.

COTTON GOODS.—BLaweersren, Dec. 23.—We have
bad • very strong market for yarns, bat the amount of lurid-
ness has not been large, though sales to • fair amount have
bean made. The market has been a good deal stimulated, no
doubt, by the reports from Liverpool, where the sales of
cotton to-day have again ben Loge. We should have bad a
more extensive business in yarn had spinets been content
with more moderate prices. Generally speaking they are
making an advance on the rates of lest Tuesday, and some et
them replies a rather considerable rise. At Saturday's terms
• very considerable bueiness could have been dose to-day ;
at least so sellers report, but there is • general fin.
pension amonst spinners that we shall have much
more activity in January, with higher pricee, and
they are consequently reluctant to enter into engagements
of any moment in what they regard • transition stets of the
market. In the cloth market some houses report • more
cheerful feeling and ratbsk more business, but this account
is not gene/ Idly corroborated. Manufacturers have been
very firm in their demands, and in some oases have been
inclined even to ask rather higher rates then last week, but
which could nut then be obtained. Buyers, however, seem
somewhat obstinately to decline business. The business has
been by no means large when compared with the extent of
inquire, which has been considerable for several descriptions
of cloth, including T cloths, shirting, and printers. Some
of the printing cloths lately contracted for ere now in
poem of delivery, and being made chiefly of Burst cotton
have disappointed expectation. The printers complain of
them very much. Still, however, the conviction of sellers
of cloth is that we shall have still highs
prices, and they have steadily refused offers to-day,
even when an approxiniation to their own priors bee been made.
Is. react reports of this market attention has been tolled
to the fact that in various parte of the cotton district
spinners nod manufacturers who had wholly or partially
stopped their mills have obtained contracts recently for
goods which have run out of stock and for cloths of descrip-
tion hitherto not made, and that consequently they have
resumed work on full time. It will be seen, from Mr.
Parnell's report to the Central Executive Committee Yes-
terday, that at Burnley, Blackbure, Bury, Charley, lies-
linden, Rochdale, and some other places, there is • decease
in the number of person receiving relief of 4,434, and an
increase in other towns of 2,031 ; leaving a net improve-
ment of 2,403. This improvement will probably be carried
somewhat further by more mills resuming work after
Christmas ; but it must not be taken for granted
that the improvement will be carried to any
great extent, or that it will be permanent, with
the present prospect, of a supply of cotton. Buyers for
the United States wales for the continent of Europe now
make their appearance in the Liverpool mutat for Banda
and notwithstanding the heavy imports of the lest atwo
sieeths, the stock of that kind of cotton in Liverpool wee
, reduced to 132,940 We', making, with all other description,
i only 219,930. If all the mills here and abroad were fluorin
full time it is estimate.' that it would take Nearly 5,000.000
bales to keep them going, and now that the supply from
the fibatliern States of. America is cut off, and we roust loot
for our main supply from India, It is Merina that the slight
Merano we have yet had of Satiate will go bat a little way
.in giving our factorchands work again at present. The sin
