COTTON.—Ltvaarooi, DEC. 4.—Our market closes
heavily to-day, and compared with last Friday's rates,
prices of American are Is. Bd. per lb. down. Surats and
everything else are little changed. The day's sales are esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, and include 2,500 taken on specula-
tion; 400 Pernam and Maranhaus, at Md. to 61d.; 100
Bahi t, at 6d.; 600 Egyptian, at 50. to Bd.; 3,500 Surat,
at 3d. to Md ; imports since this day week, 10,000 bales.
MANCHESTER. DEC. 4.—Our trade market has been ex•
ceeding heavy, in consequence of the extraordinary intelli-
gence to band from France; and, indeed, business is almost
entirely suspended. There was some disposition to do
business yesterday, in consequence of more favourable ac
counts than had been anticipated; but the telegraphic
messages of this morning have roused distrust on all sides,
and an anxious feeling pervaded the Exchange this morning
during the whole meeting.

WOOL.—BRADFORD, Dec. 4.—There is a fair amount of
business doing in combing wools, considering the compara-
tive small consumption. Staplers are generally seeking an
advance, which is only in some instances acceded to by the
spinners. The stock of wool in this market is below an
average, and the choice in several descriptions very scanty.
Short wools, for flannels, are becoming scarce, and better
prices are now obtainable. Noils and brakes withoutchange
in prices, with no stocks on hand.

MANUFACTURES. BRA uroun, Dee. 4.—Yarns Yarns
The continued short-time running keeps the market free
from surplus stock. The contracts entered for December
have been at an advance upon previous rates, and, from aU
that we can learn, what machinery is now working is to
absolute order. The complaints of the spinners are un-
abated ; fur, although an advance is currently obtained, yet
that advance is not snfficieut to cover the cost of production,
while wool is more difficult to purchase. Pieces: Although
there is a full average of merchants attending the market
today, we do not learn that any improvement has taken
place. Many would buy could they lay in goods as they
might have done a month ago. Manufacturers have no dis-
position to run their looms full time, and not obtain working
expenses. To realise a profit seems out of the question.
But a continuance of the present prudent course will soon
bring about that healthy business which is so desirable for
all connected with the trade.

HOSIERY, &c.—NotriNoitan, Dee. 4.—The position
of the various branches of the hosiery manufactures has
very little altered; while the bobbin net trade continues in
nearly as depressed a condition, and many of the machine-
owners and manufacturers are in a state of despondency.
Some manufacturers have, however, rec.:lied orders which
they state will take them six months to complete.

CORN.-BANIIVRT, Dec. 4.—This market was firm for
Wheat to-day, at la-t week's prices. Barley dull, 414 Is. per v.

Blain:4ooAM, Dec. 4.—During the present week the
supplies from the growers having been large, buyers have been able
to purchase without autimirtlng to any odrance, and we have not
much life lathe trade. Barley again rather lower. Oats find buyers
at about previous etas. 'Re quantity of Beans offering
having lsnea•ed, his checked the rise in this article, and the same
remark applies to Peso. At this day's market theta was a lets quan-
tity of Nheut from the farmers. but no advance could be obtained.
Barley of all Mails dull, and the turn lower. In Oats little doing;
their value u unaltered. There wane larger supply of English Beans
than any d iy Moat harvest. and both old arid new were Is. to le. per

CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE AGE:MT.—Last evening,
Mr. G. Dawson delivered a lecture at St. Martin's Hall,
Long-acre, in furtherance of the principles sought to be car-
ried out by the Co-operative Assnciataons. The lecturer
drew a vivid picture of the many disadvantages arising from
the present system of retail trade, and proceeded to argue
that the only true remedy was to be found in. a right sad
timely application of capital, skill, and esperienco to the
establishment of the principle of co-operative agency The
objects of the associations were to counteract thp practices
of adulteration and fraud now prevailing in trade, to act as
agents for the consumers in making their purchases, and
for the producers in seUing their produce ; and to find era-
ployment for the disciples of the co-operative system, by the
collection of orders through a regular channel. Mr. Dawson
contended that this co-operative agency wow deserving of pub
lic support, because it was the most effectual means
which bad ever been devised for giving the working classes
the benefit of their labour. He argued moreover that it
was impossible that Christianity, which was so much
vaunted in this country, could be kept up amongst the
people unless a true spirit of brotherhood were established
upon the principle that men should labour together for the
geeeral advantage of all. After dwelling with much argu-
mentative skill upon the loss of money sustained by the
people in their dealings with retail tradesmen, Mr. Dawson
concluded a very able lecture by pointing out the numerous
1 benefits which would accrue from co-operative establish.
melts if properly organised, and he earnestly called upon
all present to support him and the friends of these associa-
tions in the view they bad taken of this important subject.
The lecturer was followed by Mr. Lloyd Jones, who ad-
dressed the audience to a similar effect, and stated that the
system or co-operative gamy was already gaining ground
in various parts of England—a tact which had come to his
I knowledge from personal observation, having, he said; tra-
Yelled about the country for the purpose of extending the
progrew of such associations. There were some hundreds
of these establishments in existence, and they were all pro-
-1 ceeding is their operations most successfully and satis-
factorily.
