COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

SUGAR. —BuncroL, JAN. I.s.—The demand far
Rogan h, been considerable, hut the brokers' offices an tog
hare of samples to admit of a large busiums beteg daft.
Prices manifest some improvement, and we are lookseg for.
ward, upon some arrivals, fra Ix tter market. The cc,
arrival has been from Demerara, in the Susan-44 km,,

was dull, the sales not hating exceeded 3,000 halm. Pros:
New °clean% Std. to 6d ; Bowed Georgia, 41d. to 50.;
Surats, 2/d. to 310.,

M ANC II ENTLIL, JAN. ls.—Tbe pi,ce and yarn market en.
thine' in the same discouraging state th scribed as haat/
existed for some days past. The weekly circular of an in.
fluential house says: " The /Illness and uneasiness to 'kid
we alluded on Friday last has prey died in an increased d►
gree up to the present time, and the week's transactions is
onnsequen.e have been on the most limited male. Theis
has been cnnsiderable gloom over our market generally, ud
without soma immediate favourable change we fear mazy
spinners and manufar.uren,who some time ago commence.;
working full time, will find it iiesessary again to curtail the
hours of labour. Dom. sties have participeud in the deems.
sion, and v. ry little has been done in them ; there continuer,
however, to be demand for L. cloths and T. cloths for tkt
Levant, although it has scarcely been as active this week u
previously. Prir.ting clo.h forms no exception to the general
state of the market; occasional sales, et very low prices, as
all that has been done, with the exception of l•ght :6.iachea,
which are still in moderate r' quest. Shirting, have been I
little more inquired for, and some sales at low prices bars
been made, but not on a large F.O de. Yarns: in this depart.
ment very little has been el me. and numbers suitable for Ike
East Indies may he pronounced unsaleable." The mates
manufacturers of Stockport have had a meeting at which
they have resolved that as the wages paid there are 10 per cent.
above the rates paid in other towns, they will make a redo&
tion to that amount, and have given a week's notice to tis
operatives of their intention to carry the rewilutioa iota
effect. A similar course is being adapted at Blackburn.
De Jersey and Co. have paid a further dividend of 2s.
and the 'solders of their bills upon Thomas and Co. will TO-
wive altogether from the two parties a comp )sition of 15e. fa
the tn und.
WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Leona, JAN. I.s.—There was a
good attendance of merchant. in the Cloth-hell this raorniag,
and a slight improvement in *he demand was perceptible at

similar to those which have been most readily disposed of as
late markets.
