MARKETS

COTTON LIVERPOOL, Dac 20 —The mallet keeps
firm. 6,000 bales were sold to-day ; and of these I,ooo.were taken for
s MANCHESTER, Dec. 20.—Our yarn and cloth market,
to-clay ma well ..a on Tuesday, has been of a character to sustain the
anti palms held out at the clue of List week. The home trade are
free buyers at full current quotations in the cloth market, and also
in yams at slightly hardening prices. The advice; by the overland
mail to-day are found to support the favourable comrae, cal intelli-
gence of the last mail, and buyers for India continue rather active.
enirtiep and madapollame go off well, and same descriptioua
of twist. The Greeks are operating to some extent, and
long cloths (a description of gout'. not touched fur that
market these six or eight moths) have been purchase'
this week to a rather large amount. There is evidently more
confidence among buyers now that it is peroeived price* ate not
likely to give way to any extent tr..m as unnatural state of the cotton
market ; and orders which have long ..een su.pended being brought
into the market we may expect a more busy season than wan antici-
pated for the period of the year. The stake on band are extremely
light—inked, unusually sofor the time of year, and the deseriptitia of
fabric., such as lung-cloths and T clothe, that have for so many
months suffered under the heart 'Pt deprewion, though not at prices
which would pay to produce them, are in a better position.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Norrixamkm,
Dec.2o.—The brick condition of thecut.up Cotton Hove brooches cot-
tinues. The drawer, pantaloon and shirt Menthes are also in a very
healthy state, and are gradually extending, the frames being well
employed. The cotton glove trade was never better. The with glove
branch in the town has al o improved. The cotton bAbinthetoterserally
called .• the white trade," is considered rather dull : this is attributed
to the court mourning, though black pith lace., of course, have
increased in nemand. The trade committee, as it ie termed, have not
purchased the new method of making strait-down nets, a we
stated, upds what we thought good authority, they had. Al er
3)tWeetby in suspense fur several weeks, and requiring him to
el several specimens, they acquainted him, be says, that they
should not pay him the Std., but advised him to sell his cut of whe,'is
at 10e., two of them only offering to purchase even at that price. The
other inventor has been to Calais, where he used 1001. for hie Man.
The third has not, as yet, had an offer. from whet we can gather,
the machine-owners hope to obtain this important method, as they
Lave obtained many others, without expense, trusting that the vanity
and jealousy of the Megaton will cause the secret to transpire ; but
from what we know of the parties this will not take place.—Not fa
