MARKETS

TALLOW.—THUISDAT ifvxmo.—The market was
steady to-day :—Spot and all the year. 41s. ; January, 425.;
March, 43a. ; April to June. 43.. Delivery to last evening,
1,201 auks ; arrivals, 904 auks.
COTTON.—LrnarooL,Drc. 10.—There has been
rather a better clemaad for cotton to-day at full prima The

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Basnroim, Dec. lo.—The
more satisfactory amount* from London of monetary matters
have in a great measure allayed satiety and led to • more
cheerful feeling in the market this morning than prevailed
last week, yet we cannot find much improvement in Dant-
ean'. There are more inquiries and more offers, but these
are so much below what even the most sanguine stapler
would expect, that business to often prevented. Halfbeeds
and down wools are steady, but lustros may be had at Ws.
per pack lower. There is little or nothing doing in worsted
yarns. The export houses are doing next to nothing,
and the home merchants are operating to • viet,
limited extent. Silk spinners are pretty well employed,
and are generally firm in their demands, though under cir
cumetances are disposed to yield a trifling CODCOStion. The
market in pieces has been quiet today ; but, notwithstand-
ing the absence of any kind of animation, excepting in some
special classes of goods, there is on the whole • fair amount
of business doing. The home merchants are never very
anxious to increase their stocks about this time of the year.
The American houses are not placing many new orders at
present, and the German merchants exercise great caution,
owiag to the Danish question being still unsettled. Prices
are somewhat firmer than last week.

TEA.—Throughout the had month, aided by some specu-
lative purchases of Cannon a firmness was manifested in all
classes of tea, which together the stiinpricy of the mooey
market, the numerous =goes that arrived, our the large
quantity asnotumml for public auction on the Ist instant,
teuded to diminish ; sod it was not uptil the mood day's
progress of the male, when it became keown that the Hank
of Yoslitod had Meowed its ratio( discount to 7 per amt.,
and ea the day fallowing to t per out., that a &$D was

penniptible, resulting in some instances to adecline,fs
peony per lb., from which it was not reasonable to expect,

LACE AND HOSTERY.—Normionate,
Leer The raising of the Bank rate of dins:not to,
cent. has had a very adverse influence upon the lace rayk
It has caused home buyers to act with extreme caul*
and this, with other circumstances, ham condoned tom
trade eat. German buyers also hold aloof, the present iy.
settled state of the Schleswig-Holstein question compel.,
thins to exercise caution. Buyers also decline to pureQ
at the price of yarns ; but as continental stocks roust be
nearly exhausted, a better demand is expected ay,
Christmas. Some of oar largest warehousemen rem
that thinp aro an well as can he expected, the time del.
, year and all circumstances considered. Bat there is ea
doubt that throughout the trade is very flat. lioneet_
There is a better demand reported for goods for is,,
American market, and there is a Lille more doing for tae
home market. Cotton maintains its price without ni
tendency to giving way. The Australian market appar,,
be glutted. This rather improved state of thins des
apply to all warehouses, in some of which there is no alts,
Lion. Generally sprains& however, there are more a,
chines at work and more frames going in the country d.
