MARKETS.

SUGAR.—Barwroc, Dec. 12. —Tbere has been lea at•ti•
vity in this market,aud the sales of tLe week have bees eery
limited ; prices are barely supported. Refiners, piodu©, u
lase active, sod in some mess :Wm maim Rum : No take
to report.

OOTTON.—Lienroor, Dna It —The demand coati.
sued limited to the cline of last week, and lower pr....,
wore accepted. On Monday there was a much better in-
quiry from the trade than for some time past ; and ou 11,
following day, after the result of the Manchester
was koown, a considerable busioess was done at higiwr
prima. On Wednesday 20,000 bales were sold ;
although the market closed yesterday with less anirrati,n,
prim of Surat may be quoted id. to id. per lb. dearer. -fbi,
advance will also apply to the lower den:notion' of AID,
rican, whilst in the better qualities there is very little
change. Egyptian and Brazil may be quoted id. to Id. parr
lb. dearer than on Friday last. There are reported on spr.
auktion 30,890 bales, viz., 2,300 American, 3:APernsio,
2,820 Bahia, 550 Egyptian, 24,650 burst, sod 320 Bengal
and for expert, 2,890 balm viz., 290 American, Smyrna,
2,090 fit. and 460 Benial. The market opens with a
fair inquiry ; probable salsa, 7,000 to 8,000 bales, of which
about one-half will be on speculation and for export.

COTTON GOODS.—Nancaserrim Du. l2—The yarn
market has been very firm and strong, spinners asking
higher prices. The amount of business does for shippio4
has been but small, but the borne trade have been free
buyers of most descriptions of yarn at an advance of id. to
Id. per lb. on Tuesday's prices. There has also been a fair
inquiry for yerns mutable to the markets of lodia and the
Levant, but the high prices asked have checked buanew
for these markets. For cloths there was a little more
business dam on Wednesday and yesterday, owing to the
active state of the Liverpool market and the advaect in
cotton. This apphed chiefly to printers, long cloths ar.il
cloths, but I goods were comparatively neglected
owing to the advance demanded on the part of 'them
This improvement, so far as it went, has almost entirely dv
appeared to-day, and sellers report an exceedingly Vat
market. Manufacturers are firm in demanding the adym-e,
but buyers are unwilling to give it. The mice during the
last six days at Liverpool have reached the large quantity of
59,000 bales of cotton, of which :17,000 are set down as taken
by the trade. This is much beyond the present rate of cno•
gumption, and may indicate that more mills are about to
resume work. It is known that some kinds of good, are en.
tinily out of stock in this market, but so far as we have bard
the contracts offered for such goods are too limited is
quantity and too low in price to indoor millowners to
reopen their establishments. There may be some
exceptions, however, and it seems not unlikely
that there will be some increase of production after Christ.

are using very low qualities of Surat* cotton, sud greet
complaints are heard amongst the workpeople of the low
wages and extra trouble given by it. This is probably one

one district we hear of operatives who used to ears 20s. cc

week, and in another, where they used to WO 12a per
week with Americon cotton, it is said now they ma only

There was no alteration in barley. Wheat, red, 43a.
