MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livrorinib, Bee. 21.—The sales for this
day are estimated at 4,(gai hales, being on specials non.
They comprise 20 Bahia, qd. ; 100 Egyptian, old. to Gjd.;
4, 0 Surat, 30. to 41d. The market timed tamely, with
very little change in rates sin o Friday 1..4.
Bi A NCHISTait, DSc. 2l.—The approach of the Christmas
holidays is somewhat affecting trade, and many people have
already left town. The Exchange was rather thronged,
himr. ver, sod the firmer tone of the Liverpool cotton mar-
ket had ahi /Wet. influence on prices. They have not
advanced singe Mast week, hut the downward tendency
appears to ho checked tor the nement, and some rather
large purchases are still making for shipment to India sod
Chine. The houses its this trade report ability to sell
Alamo. soy quantity of goods at present rates, hut that they
can obtain no advance upon them. In goods fnr the Ivone
market, and for export to the European markets of the
continent, the purchases are meagre, but at last quotation..

WOOLLEN CLOTll.—Lecne, Dec. 21.—We have had
no change in the market to-day; about the usual business
for the s: aeon of the year has been done. Stocks are low.
Muddle quality cloths in true wool•dyed blacks were in-
quired tor, hut they are rather scarce at press rat, and no
doubt more cloth might be sold if there was more choice fur
the merchants to select from.

WOOL.—HetnintoPtEt.ti, Dec. 21.—As the nest year
is looked upon as a time wh. n we shuil he et ry busy, we
have a better demand (or \Vuul•; and, though prices are
ruling very high, we have more doing both in colonial and
foreign.

MANUFACTURES. lit unsitsrim.D. Dee. 21.—Al-
though we ere so near Christmm, and weirdly at this season
very flat and dull, particularly fur a few wao•ke before and
after Christina', thin year seems to form an exception, as we
have still a lair average business doing, and to-day we have
a good attendance of buyers in the market, some of whom
are purchasing freely for next year's account.

CORN.-Iletf., Dec. 21.-To-day our farmers brought
forward a fair supply of Wheat, almost entirely new, and
the bulk in tender order; such was difficult to sell, even at
• decline of Is.; while fresh and good-conditioned samples
were ready sale at the general rates of this day week. A
moderate inquiry for foreign, of which our stinks arc now
much reduced. Mire seems, however, a little pause in the
trade, which is only natural after the late eleit ment, arid
is • very usual occurrence at this Beeson of the year. With
the new year we may tusk for a resumption of active
operations. Barley, which ha. been neglected, owing
to the uncertainty upon the question of the malt
taz, is likely, with the change of ministry, to attract
more attention. Osts are the turn dearer, nigh a disposi-
tion to speculate. Beans and Peas maintain their value,
but the mild weather checks the sale of the latter. Only a
limited business passing in Linseed, but prices aro un-
altered, and small stocks only in the port. The consump•
Lion of Cakes is rather affected by the mild season, but a
limited sale is not unusu towards the close of the year.
Nothing doing in Rapeseed, but Rape Cakes are dearer, on
a continued demand for feeding. Bones fully maintain
our quotations. The followiag are the present prices:-

Luaus, Dec. 21.—The arrival to-day is moderate of
wheat, hut millers having bought freely of late, and with
the usual desire to work up stocks at the close of the year,
causes salsa to be limited ; hold..re, however, show no dis-
position to give way, and best qualities are held fur full
prices, but for damp and inferior, in some cases, rather
less money is taken. Barley without alteration. Oats
and shelling steady. Beans scarce, and rather higher.
Other articles as before. Arrivals this week: Wheat,
6,484 • Oats, 102; Barley, 731; Beans, 116; Flour, 6;
ItapsWed, 966; Linseed, 627.
LIVE 4POOL, Dec. 2I.—A long sequence of wet wea-
ther has imparted a stronger feeling in the grain market
Without any particular activity of business, holders of
wheat and flour generally have evinced much firmness, and
have looked for better prices. We have this week fair ar•
rivals of oats and oatmeal front Ireland, and of wheat and
flour from the United States. The other imports are tri-
fling. The Corn Exchange this morning was slenderly at-
tended, and Moines., as is until at this season of the year,
was on a moderate scale. When and flour fully sustained
the prices of this day se'nnight, and all other articles of the
'trade remain very much as quoted on that day. Arri•
vale and exports from the 11,11 to the 20th Dec., inclu-
sive, into Liverpool and Itancorn : Wheat, 17,402 VI. ;
Barley, 1,616 ; Malt, 38.5; Oats, 7,169; Beans, 1,721 • l'eas,

barrels.

LYNN, Dec. 21.—At today's market the supply of Wheat
was considerably increased, and prices about Is. to 2s. per
qr. lower. The quantity of Barley at market is rather
small; beat quality iu good demand at fully last week's
Wices, andinferior although dull could net be bought lower.

NEWCASTLE, Dec. 21. The weather since Saturday hue
been exceedingly boisterous, with occasional heavy showers.
'To-day the wind has veered round to the north, and we
have now a prospect of trust, u the glass is gradually rising.
At our market this morning we had again a large show of
Wheat from the growers, but having aothing fresh in from
the coast, fine dry samples were taken pretty readily at
Saturday's rates; hut ill-conditioned samples, of which the
main bulk of the supply consisted, wore fully lc per qr.
lower, at which reduction, however, a tolerably free sale
was experienced. South country qualities were in fair re-
quest, Boston new red being placed without difficulty at
625. per qr., 6,31b5., whereu the foreign arrived
per steamer from llamburgh met attention where
factors were permitted to sell at market value, via.
621. fur Holstein red, and up to 631. for Wismar weighing
62 lbs., but made 63 lbs. per bushel. Some portion of the
supply will have to be landed under high limits, the hold-
ers on the other side requiring 665., per qr., which price fur
the moment is totally unattainable. In Flour we have less
' stirring, but In its value we have little variation to note.
Rye without enquiry. Malting Barley of choice quality,
the turn dearer, but in other qualities we have little varia-
tion to note. Malt meets less attention. Beans and NM
the turn higher, and the same may be said of Oats.
