MARKETS.

BRISTOL, JAN. I.
SI'(JAR. The produce markets have been i looted
here sines oar last, and the only trons•etion reported is •
cargo of yellow Ilavantiali Sugars, consisting of 1,300 buses
(lauded)), at 365. per cwt. duty paid. lot refiners' produce
• steady business 111 being done at fully former rates. We
aro without soy urivals of Sugar to notice this week.

COT TON.—Ltvenroo4, JAM. I.—To-day has been ob-
served as a partial holiday in the cotton trade. The sales are
not above 3,000 bales at about previous rates.
M ANCH mina, JAM. I.—New t'ear's-day is a semi-holiday
in the manufacturing capital. In the morning rather more
than bail the shops, and rather levir, perhaps, than half the
warehouses, open their doors; but the streets are empty,
and business not being worth looking after, people make up
their minds to close entirely fur the afternoon, and the town
assumes a vcr► quiet, Sabbath-like appearance fur the re-
mainder of the day. The Exchange was open, but the
muster of manufacturers and merchants was exceedingly
meagre, snd no business worth naming has been ohms. The
stock of cotton on hand at the port of Liverpool has been
found to exceed the estimates as brought down from week
to week by 41,110 bales. At this time 1830 the blunder in
the estimate was 90,000 bales in the same direction, so that
the repetition of it has not produced much surprise, though
the anticipation in Liverpool that it would shake confidence
here has led to a decline of Ad. per It.. in the prices current
last week. The greater reduction of prices anticipated in
cotton when the French news of Dee. 2 reaches the United
States, however, absorbs more attention, and business
holds back to some extent till the effect of that intelligence
is known. Our mills are all running full time, and a fair
amount of business is doing on the whole, but stocks are
j slightly increasing, with a disposition on the part of holders
to give way to easier terms, except where production, as in
some kinds of printing cloth, is more nearly balanced by
thu demand than in the trade generally.
WOOL.—Baatiroari, Jan. I.—The market *pens with
the first day of the year, and we cannot report any degree
of buoyancy on the part of the spinners towards buying, the
purchases made two or three weeks back being beyond their
wants for immediate use. The transactions in the country
are not quite so lively. Nu doubt the staplers will be
anxious to see whether their late purchases will enable them
to realise a profit before they increase their stock. The
quantity in the country dealers' hands la nut heavy, and the
farmers are firm holders for prices beyond what can be rya-
heed here.

MANUFACTURES, BRADFORD, Jan. I.—Yarns: Tho
year just closed has been one of a very cheerless character.
Throughout the whole period wool has varied very little,
perhaps not more than 4d to Id. per lb. on the extreme quo-
tations. Yarns have fallen to a price unparalleled in the
the remembrance of the oldest engaged in the trade, while
Wool and labour are not affected. The lowest point was
in October and November, when there appeared no fixed
price for anything in reeled yarns, and the commission
houses cleared immense stocks at prices in many instances
nut near covering the cost of top.. Early in December the
very ruinous price that yarn had sold at ceased ; a stand
was made, and an advance fully established and for sum-
mon numbers of good spinning 30's to 36's be. 61. is now
readily obtained. Although more spindle% are in work than
in October, yet the quantity totally idle and others only
partially employed must have its effect in bringing about a
better state of things, fur at the present price of Wool
and Yarns no one can realise cost, land we trust the year
will not far advance before a decided improvement
in the price of yarns is curren,. Pieces : The open-
ing of the year, we are glad to say, is more favourable to
the manufacturers than the one just closed, for then all
were engaged in finishing up old contracts at prices that
gave them confidence to go on making ; far too many goods
were purchased at a season when they were not wanted,
and when goods were bought for the autumn the pressure
of stocks sunk them to that profitless price which discou-
raged the manufacturers throughout summer, and in Sep-
tember a curtailing of the production began, which has
been followed up to this period. The merchants perhaps
never bought less grey cloth than in the three months
just ended, and the dyers have been exceedingly slack,
but we may reasonably expect more animated doings as
the season progresses. There does not appear to be two
opinions about the price of goods, for it is certain that any
change must be for au advance, or the present great num-
ber of unemployed looms will be increased rather than
diminished, small as the stock of goods throughout the
trade may be.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. NornNottAx,
Jan. I—The cotton stocking manufacture, as if in despite
of the Belgian or round frames, seems to be gradually rising
from the late panic, the articles made from them finding a
new market on account of their cheapness. This frame, as
we predicted at the time when it was viewed with such
apprehension, will eventually bestow a benefit on the town,
as its intensive speed enable. it to compete with the loom.
An to making hosiery shaped on the frame, it seems almost
hopeless, though it is stated that a straight frame upon the
principle has been got to work. The silk glove branch is in
an amended condition, but the silk hose branches, of every
kind, are half extinct, not only in the country, but through-
out Europe. The bobbin net trade in general is very de-
pressed, and also in a feverish condition, some of the manu-
facturers, it is alleged, not paying half the usual wages.--

CALIFORNIAN MARKETS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.
Since the sailing of the last steamer, there has been no
material change in the market. field duet is not quite so
plenty, and the shipment by the Northerner will nut pro-
bably reach over 1,4401,1100 dole. The advices from the At-
lantic States, by the last steamer inward, show about the
same state of affairs. Orders hese come to many parties
here to ship dust at any rate. This will not lust long, for
the actual cost to the consignee, over and above the net
rehires from the mint, will lie about 5 per coot. The
breaking of the machinery at the Assay-office has enabled
many to purchase of the dust 'peculators at a premium
over 17 dole. This dust is not of the beat quality, snit
would shippers from the Atlantic States look calmly at
the matter, they would tee at cure that a 101 l drawn
against an actual shipment is as good a remittance as they
could have; they have to take the risk of the insurance
companies in either instance, and in the ease of the
bill, they have the responsibility of the drawer la .ides.
The bankers are st drat 2 per cent. for bills, and no doubt
slime will probably have to decline drawing before the
closing of the mail as usual. Money is moderately plenti-
tul, and is worth, on first-class personal and good real
estate, from If to 4 per rent. Mexican dollars and doubloons
are at at a premium, the former of 4 and the latter of 3 per
cent. Exehange.—New York, 2 per cent. premium. For
a few days past the amount of business transacted has been
very moderate. Price* remain about the same. Flour is
selling in moderate quantities for consumption ; Gallego,
prime, at 12 doll. There is no speculative movement in
any kind of merchandise; holders of goods in general are
not disposed to make Wads further concessions ila prices, as a
large number of houses expect no further ',Moments for
some time to come. A large immigration is expected, owl
business must of necessity Ice pretty quad for actual con-
sumption. A moderate quantity or goods arc shipping for
Oregon. Stocks remain without any further change. State
