DlAricaiurnm, Dec. 11.—A fair business was done in the
sloth market at full prises. In some came where tke purchaser was
in pressing want of the article, a small advance was obtained on last
Tuesday's prices. The cause of this in some measure may no doubt be
traced to the upward tendencf the cotton market in LiverpooL In
yarns there was not much doug. Spinneys were firm to demanding
aa advance on last week's rata% which probably tended In some de-
gees to limit the amount of business.

WOOL—HripasaertaLn, Dee. 11.—Wpaest have bad en
increaeed demand for colonial Wools during the fortnight ; this
