OOTTON.—lleemPoola Dec. 16.—Cotton has been in
only moderato demand throaghoutthe week,and being rather
freely offered buyers have been enabled to obtain some con.
cession in pries, but there has been no general pressure to
sell. In American a fair amount of bushman has been doge,
yet last week's prices are barely supported. la Sea Island
business continues extremely limited, without change in
prime. renew, notwithstanding some purchases in specu-
lation and for export, has fallen id. to id. per lb.
Bahia and ifeceio are fully id. lower, and in Ma.
ranham very few transactions have taken place,
even at id. decline. Egyptian has been freely
offered, and a decline of fully td- per lb. submitted to for
new cotton, of which the market closes heavily and irregu.
May. Smyrna has been in fair request, but dull, at last
week's rake. The demand for East India has been on a
moderate scale, and the supply being liberal a gradual
giving way in price took place, amounting to id. per in
most descriptions. Yesterday a better feeling prevailed,
and prices recovered about half the reduction. In China
and Japan the transactions have beep on • reduced scale at
fully rd. decline. Speculators have taken during the •ei-k
111,72 U bales ; exporters, 4,720 bales ; and the trade. 2:5,'1,0
bales of all kinds. We have bad a moderate demand to-day
with • quiet but steady market. The sales are 6,01.0 bales,
of which 2,500 are for export and speculation. The f01k...

corrox GoODS. —MANCHESTER. Dre 16.—The market
for shipping yarns has been very quiet to-day, with little
disposition to operate en the part of buyers, and cons*.
quently spinners are rather easier to deal with so for as
prices ere concerned. The awe of the quietness is prin-
cipally the non-arrival of the India mail, as on Tucel iy.
M►ny of our buyers are also disposed to await the arrival of
• the American President's mirage, which they think may
hold out hopes of terms to the South of a more favourable
character than have been ►nticipated hitherto. At all
events, it seems pretty clear that buyers are hesitating till
they have news both from the East and the West. The
market for home trade yarns is quiet but steady,
and business in this description is affected by
much the same causes ar that for export Tans.
In cloths, since Tuesday, prices have been firm, but with.
out much disposition on the part of buyers to purchase.
The tone of comment adopted by some of the leading
journals on the money market has also had a discouragiog
effect, though counteracted, in some degree, by the actual
reduction of discount*. If the India advices had been in,
and had been as good as they are anticipated to be, we
should, no doubt, have had more business; all operations.
however, are suspended to-day, pending the arrival of
these, and the amount of business has been small. Some
speak of having been able to do rather better, but there
is no doubt the market generally has been exceedingly
quiet. Quotations ate tolerably firm.

LiveßrooL, Dee. 16. With an average attendance of
millers and dealers at this morning's market wheat has met
a fair consumptive inquiry, without the least change from
this dry week, except perhaps for the guest winter red,
which, being warm and wanted, may be called a shade
better. Flour remains the MUM. India° corn opened very
dull, and 6d. per quarter cheaper, but buyers coming for-
ward and taking all that was pressing for ode, it speedily
recovered itself, and closed much as on Tuesday, or fully
per quarter below this day week. Oats and oatmeal
beglecte4l and somewhat irregular in value. Beans and peas
steady. Feeding barley is offering freely, and may be
bought the turn lower.

over their railway 273,60 passeugers, the receipts being
2,703/. This is the largest weekly receipt since the open-
ing of the railway, showlog an increase of 5681. over the

per miie for the week, or at the rate of 37.011”1. per mile
per annum, and is very largely in 01001111 of the receipt per
mile on soy other railway in the kingdom. When the

that the traffic over the entire railway will be enormously
