COTTON.—Liveapooc, Dec. D.—Cotton has been in
fair demand, but freely offered throughout the 'seek. The
tendency to increased firemen manifested on Frtday was
checked by the advices per Bootie of large receipts at the
American porta ; and the market closes quietly upon the
announcement of the advance of the Reek rate to 7
per cent. Foe Sea Island there has been a good inquiry at
previous rates. Ameeican continues is demand, but the
recent imports are pieced freely upon the market, and
price' have given way fully id. par lb. Brazil is heavy of
bale ; and in Perusal and Manual= a decline has been
submitted to of id. to 0. per lb. Egyptian is in fair re-
quest, and in the early pert of the week commanded full
rates, but closes without change from Friday lard. In
Smyrna a faar amount of lA/loess has been does, but prices
an in favour of buyer.. The scarcity of East India has been
very apparent this week, end while the lower grades
are decidedly dearer, the better qualities fully support
previous quotations. China sod Japan are in moderate
Lave
supply and command extreme prices. Speculators
taken, during the week, 7,000 bales ; exporters, 9,430
bales, and the trade 3'2,070 bales. We have bad a fair
demand to-day, with a firmer feeling. The sales are 10,000
bales, of which 3 000 are for export and speculation. The
toiletries; are the officiel quotatioos : Fair Orleans, `...'41.;
middling,
middlirg,2lo. ; fair Mobile. 221 a. ; middling, 200. ; fair
Uplands, 22d. ; middling, 200. The stack of cotton in
Liverpool, declared this morning, amounts to 370,275 bales,
including 143,722 American. 36.004 Brazil, 31,(rzi Egyptian,
9,790 West lode, 144.759 East India, and 4,971 Chins and
Japan, and proves remarkably correct in the total. It shows
an excess in East India, attributable to reeshipments of this
description from America, and also to receipts overland,
partly included on arrival in the Egyptian stock.
COTTON GOODS.—MAKHEYTER, DEC. 29.-Ibro ce-
ntral tone of the market has been one of quietness, with
steady prices, but in shipping yarns we have had a very
strong market, resulting to a fair amount of business. It
sppears that many buyers of virus have beep holding back
their orders, expecting that when the annual stock taking
of cotton took place io Liverpool, the quantity would be
found far in excess of the 'etiolate, end came a reaction in
the prises of yarns hare. Wham the result was telegraphed
to-day, showing the excess to be only 2,000 b Iles, these
parties gave out their orders freely, and the market closes
very strong. In home trade yarns the in srket has been
steady, with a moderate busies.s doing, and prices without
change since Tuesday. The rise in the Bank rate quieted
the market yesterday, but the favonrah'e stock taking at
Liverpool appears to have counteracted the effect to-day.
In cloth sellers say the rise in discounts has had the effect
of checking operations, and hail also prevented an advance
in prices, which has been anticipated to.ilay. Under these
circumstances buyers have been rather unwilling to give out
orders to any considerable extent. The merket, however,
has been exceedingly firm, pikes being, so far as there is
any alteration, in favour of the manufacturer. What
inquiry exists has been principally for lots available for
delivery at once, such lota being very acme at present. Most
holders are well cleared of stock. The market closes with
but a moderate beaniess, but with extreme hardness in

prices.
C01151.-Cnitmsrolio, Dec. 3J.-We had a smell show
of wheat at market to-day, end mostly in wretched con-
ditioo, each was *old at very irregular prices ; haat dry
parcels maintained their late value ; red, 42a. to 46. ; white,
46.. to Ms. Beane and without ch
IdNCOTN, Der. Wehave had a fair supply of wheat,
but the larger portion was in damp condition. Fine dry
samples found purchasers at barely list week's rates, whilst
other kinds hung on hand. Wheat, reirl, 435. to 48s. ;

Grinding, 295. to 331. ; malting, 34.. to 38.. Oats, 2:e. to
28s. Beans. 443. to 475.
Idrritrool.. Dec. V.-At to-day's market there was but
a small attendsoce; the business in wheat was correspond-
iegly limited. and in most clan at a reduction of Id. to 23.
per cents. Floor neglected, but held for previous rates.

peas both met a fair retail inquiry at ed ady prices. Irish
priding barley scarce, and 1.1. per bushel higher. Indian
inactive, at 3d. per quarter decline on the week.
