MARKETS.

COTTON.—Ltvaaroor., Dec. 18. —The market to-day
we. dull, and the sales were about 2,300 balm.
Illascusteran, Duc. 18.—Tbere has been a more cheerful
market to-day. The orders lying over for ••long time in oonsetptenoe
of the great advance la prices which had taken place are
to be given out, portly In coneequence of the slight =Want=
has been recently obtained, and partly in consequence of advice' that a
reivideuble clearance of stocks Asa been effected m some of theforeign
markets recently glutted with goods. ere
Th bas ken • good deal
wore bow... dope foe India, especially in 22's water twist. fur which
Iron Id. to *d. ter lb. his been obtained in advance of the quotation
cement eight or ten days ego. In clothe there has been a good deal
more liminess doing, both by the home trade and by shippers. The
home trade base been free buyers in painting clothe, both 2-Bths and
9.Bths, and is domestics ; and home manutacturen have dealt largely
also in twist, at gl. advance. for the East Ind.m, madapollamv and
ebtrtinp have gene ce well, and the Greeks have made some per.
chases in loorptiotha. Advices Iran Ometuntinople are more chew-
ing, with adverwkag priors, and a larger business to that quarter may
be anticipated.

WO3LLENEL—Lians, Dec. 18.—We hays had a very
fair basinsdont this retorting, and, eaudderiag the meson of tbe
year, an average one. Mr. Cobden, !LP, paid his respects to the
trusters of tbe Cloth-hall this morning, end during the market
widlitd round the ball accompanied by several of his friends ; be was
loudly cheered, as be perambulated the several streets, by the maw
bled clothiers and merchants.

WOOL —HUDDMUIPIELD, Deo. 18.—Tbere bee not been
quite so much doom in this article as in the previous week. The fact
is ;hat buyers will not come into purchaw until aft, r Christmas,
which is to close upon us; all sorts of Colomal Wools may be quoted
. .

MANUFACTURES.—HUDDERSFIILD, Doe. 18.—This
has been a good market day fur the season; a great many goods have
changed hands but more particularly in low and middle black Doe.
skins. The merchants seem to anticipate sn advance in goods, and
this must certainly take place after the considerable rise in the price
of the raw material wool.

CORN.-Baliewonmi, Der. 18.-We had a small show
of Wheat, sad prime fairly supported. Barley trade quite as good.
Beams and Pees nob Is. per qr. cheaper. Wheat, white, 40s. to 435.

HULL, Dee. 18.-The weather dart rut the past fourteen days
has been the reverse ot seemeable, being at timeaquite mild, witha con-
siderable fall of rain, while the latest aceounta from Hamburg repre-
sent severs host, and a complete closing of the navigation. There
has been decidedly more firmness in the traitilenerally, and for the
best description. of Wheat Is. more money ; rail there is an ab-
sence of much life, and probably will be tint I supplies really cesse and
we have general winter. At to.day's market there was a more mo-
derate show of farmers' Wheat than of late, and the coaditiao a good
effected; fine dry remelts brought Is. more money, but the trade was
brisk. More inquiry alter old foreign, but not much business re-
sulting; the quantity offering from vessel is very moderate, and
landed pareell are held a good deal above late rates. Nothing doing
in malting Barley; as od grinning supports its price. More inquiry
for oldene but new ones are quite neglrected. Not much
passing inn
Liiseed, *lmage we do not alte our quotations. In Lin-
seed Cakes buyers have an advantage, but Ripe Cakes &remote sought
after at the late reduction. No Bones afloat, and business wanting.

LtegitrooL, Doc. 18.-A cha gees,f wind has brought
up a numerous fleet of grain laden v The principal import
since last Tuesday is of wheat from fo: riga ports, viz., nearly 21,000
quarters, of which 5,503 quarters were from the Use eel Stet*, 4,620
quartets from Rotterdam, 2,00) quarters from Aotwe, p, 3,330 quar-
ters from Stettin, 1,930 quarters from Danzig, 690 quarters from
Konigsberg, 1,512 quarters from Hambro', and 700 quarters from
Frame. There are likewise 0,353 barrels of nom from Canada, ~,od
goad supplier of Irish flour and oatmeal. There was more firmness
in the trade in the early part of the week, but the continued large
arrivals of foreign grain, de., into London and other ports, have
checked any activity on the part of buyers, and, later in the week, no
advance could be well e abed here ea any article. There was a
I good attendarme of town and mightouring s and dealers at our
market this morning. Ireb new wheat being scarce, brought an
, advance of Id. to 2d. per bushel on the rates of lmt Tuesday, but
I foreign, although held firmly, was no better, and a very small propor-
, lion of the supply found buyers. Flour, both sacks and barrel's, was
slow of Pale. No change as regards oats; rneaUbg quality is still
scarce and wanted. Oatmeal was ed. per load dearer. Beans and
peas brought 101 l prices. Barley was dull. Indian corn was held tor
an &dance of 6d. to 6d. per quarter on the week, which checked
business. Neu Tuesday Ding Christmas dey, the in,rket will be held
here on Monday. The following are the prices: Wheat, per 7elbs..
