COTTON.—ldanotasTaa, Dan. 24.—As the principal
yarn mad cloth market tithe week would have Wes ea Chridoes day
it has best held by anticip.tion to-day. A good business hue been done
both far the hams trade and fur export. Priors are very firm and
sellers howerelly are sating more for their goofs. The producers of
heavy goods are drug batter than they have for some time tact, and
we he of two saillo which had gas en abort time renumber week on
MI hoar. In addition M purchases of yarn making by home
manufacturers, buyers fur India are in the market for
counts of mule twist from tOs to 60s. Buyers for Icily
and the Levant ere dcfng more bu-inem than hey were and though
the GOMM markets are aketd for the season, merchants connected
with that trod, are to some extent increasing their stocks. We close
the year altogether with a very encouraging prospect. 'There is more
business to course of trio:mamma than usual for the semen; stocks ot
Bowdon baud ate light; and with theenctioes of provision low, our
hone trade promisee well. Much de upon the supply of cotton

some time thut It supplies our machinery with all that is wanted.

Baltic ports there are reported 3,410 qrs. wheat, and 2,260 qrs. peas.
Scarcely any variation has occurred in the value of any &filch of the
grain trade during the week. A few patois of wheat, and of the in-
ferior quality of American flour, have changed hands for holding over,
but the town 5 millers and (Icahn have made their purchases very.
sparingly. The market to-day tieing held out of the usual course, was
ic attended by buyers. Full priced were demanded and paid
for when: sad flour, though with a meditate bushiest. Oats and oat-
meal also were quite us dear. There was rather a bettor demand foe

LYNN, Dec. 94.-B. log Christmas week, and our market

Noblvicu, Dec. 22 -Our 'rarket Wag only moderately
supplied with Wheat to-day by the farmers, and priors were Is. to laid.
per qr. above those of last currency. Tbe past week has been cold and
wet, with frequent storms of sleet and mow, which has caused
the quality of our Wheat to be considerably deteriorated as much as
Ilk per bushel. All dry parcels were eioey sold at 2e. per qr. ad.
vance. Flour was a slow sale, at Is. per sack more money. The
Barley trade aimunea a firm epee-ranee, and for good mania, quali.
Pes extreme prices were obtained, while grinding and distilling qua-
lities were very unsaleable. Other setts of feeding corn were lull as
dear. Wheat, white, 425. to 4111. ; red, 42.5. per qr. Burley,

CATTLE, &e.—CoLcusPran, Dee. 22.—There was a fair
supply of Beast; but, as usual at this season of the year, the attend-
ance of buyers was thin, and the few saint effected were forced, at
prices fully 3 per cent. lower than for some wicks past. Of Sheep
there were but few, which exceeded the demand, which was but
trifling. The Pigs continue very dose in sale, and barely supported
last week's rates, the accounts from the London markets being so dis-
worming. • few lots of good jointers found purchasers at 3s. sd.
per atone. Lean Pigs were on otter at very low pricee, and but very
few changed bands. Ihe market throughout was very dull.—Supply
Sheep and Lambs, 810; Caine,, 7 ; Beasts, 273; Horse', 48; hip, 226.
LivaurooL, December 24. There has been a con-
siderable fulling off in the supply of both beef and mutton at market
this day; the demand lair tor each, at an improvement from prices
quoted on last Monday. Mutton, 3.d. to 31d. per lb.; beef, 3d. to W.
per lb. At market: 1,716 beasts; 3,%d sheep.
Noitwica, Dec. 22.—Our market, fey the dose of the
season, exhibited a very large show of store cattle; as might
he expected, little was doing, the weather and low price of corn
operating against the trade, and fully one-fourth of the cattle re-
mained named. rat Beasts dull at is. ltd. to 7s. per stone of 14ibe.
without a clearance. The number of Sheep and Lambs exhibited war
small, and no tales m.de worth none . Fat Sheep, Gs. 9d. to 7s. per
stone, and all sold. In store Pigs and fat Pork no alteration worth
, notice. _ _

SALISBURY, D. c. 24.—The alteration of ea, • for
bold ng our fortnightly market was the occasion of a very small
market, there helm; scarcely ary buyers present. The supply of
prime fat Oxen was r, ry chart; but of it,terior Beasts there was a
tolerably good show. The trade ruled very heavy, and tales were
chiefly effected at 6d. t• Is. per score below the currency of this day
se'noight to tiftct a clearaDoe. Of cheep there was also a scanty
supply, though sufiLieut for the demand. Bales were dull, and prices
ranged about tbe mum as at our last markt t. The transattlons in the
Pig market are unworthy of note. Ox Beat, 9s. to 10s. per score ;
cow and heifer, 7s. to Hs. fal. South DJW• Mutton, Sd. to lid. ; coarse
legs, 4d. to 41d. per lb.
