large spinners hands, but the prices at which they arc sold
offer little induc meet to augment their production.
Pieces: There is somewhat more doing in pieces. The
aggregate supply of goods in the hands of the merchants,
dyers, aad manufactures, compared with the same period last
year, would show a striking contrast, certainly not more than
half, this is owing to the care on the part oldie prod ucers,who
have so materially lessened the supply coming to market,
and thus prevented accumulations of stock. Notwith-
standing these facts, the raw material from the early part
to the close of November kept steadily creeping up to the
daily loss of the manufacturer. The chances are that the
year will open with so unusually small stock of goods, and
with no prospect of their !wing made cheaper ; this may
lead to permanent activity at the proper season, instead of
this being forestalled by anticipated purchases.—Bredfurd
Observer.

CORN.-Butatixonam, DEC. 8.-At this day's market
there was a fair supply of wheat. Barley Is. per quarter
lower. 0 its, fully as much cheaper. Beans gave way 2s. per
quarter. Peas held fur previous rates. Thu millers lowered
the retail price of ti ,ur 35. 43. per sack.
DEVIZES, DEC. 8.-We had a moderate supply of wheat,
which met a slow sale at a redid lion of from Is. to 2s. per
qr., at which a clearance was ultimately effected. Barley
was in fair supply ; fur the best malting samples the trade
was rather better, and the prices of last week were fully
supported; grinding qualities were is. per qr. lower. Beans
were in more demand. In oats and peas no alteration.
Wheat, white, 82s per qr. ; best red. 70s. to 775.; mid-
dling, 575. to 705.; inferior, 44e. to 575. Barley, 301. to
435. Oats, 235. to 335. Deans, 423. to Gls. Peas, 389.
to 48s. Flour, fine, per sack, Ns. to 583.; seconds, 545.
to 565.
MANCHESTER, Dar. 8.-At our market this morning
there was a good attendance, and a rather improved tone
was apparent in the trade; but business was much inter-
rupted by the foggy state of the weather. Wheat receded
18. to 23. per 701h3 , and flour Gd. to Is. per sack and
barrel. Oats and oatmeal were likewise rather cheaper,
and beans must be noted Is. to 2e. per quarter lower.
NEWARK, DEC. 7.-Our market to-day was affected by
the languid tune of business at Mark-lane on Monday.
Buyers unwilling to do business unless at a reductiou, and
sellers were equally indisposed to give way. In wheat a
tolerable trade, however, was effected, and a reduction of
Is. per qr. may be reported. Barley was also limited in
supply, with a propottionato demand, and similar decline in
value. Little variation can be quoted in oats and bean.,
there having been but a nominal trade doing in them, with
an incline downwards. Averages : Wheat, white, from 745.
to 795.; red, 70.. to 755. ; barks, new, 365. to 405.; oats, 31s.
to 32e. per 24 stones ; benne, old, 575. to Gls.
NEwireny, Dec. S.-The supply of wheat this day far
exceeds the demand, which is entirely of a lecal character,
the consequence is a decline of Is. on the best, and 2s. per
qr. on the inferior, a great portion of which remains unsold.
Barley was also in large supply, and 2s. per qr. cheaper,
but • clearance could not be effected. Oats, beans, and
peas, are receding in price.
UXBRIDGE, DEC. S.-Trade is excessively dull to-day.
Wheat is 2s. to 35. lower in prier, barley is. to 2s. less, and
other kinds of grain meet a slow sale. Wheat, 60s. to 68s.
per qr. Barley, 30s. to 12s. Oats, 213. to 325. Peas. .18s.
to Gls. Bans, 425. to 5Se.
EDINBURGH, Dec. 7.-We had in the market to-day
636 qrs. wheat, 1,577 qrs. barley, 921 qrs. oats, and 94 qrs.
beans. There were sold: Wheat, 403 qrs.; barley, 1,1 it
qrs. ; oats, 801 qrs. ; and beans, 5.5 qrs. As compared with
last week, wheat was 2s. down on top, and 3s. 10d. on the
average. Barley was 2s. down on tap, and Id. down on the
average. Oats was Is. 41. up on top, and U. down on the
average. Beasts down 3s. on top, and 2s. 43. on the average.
There was rather a less supply of grain in the market to-
day. There being little or no demand for seed wheat, and
the parcels being generally raw, prices fell considerably.
Barley barely maintained last week's quotations. Oats and
beans also declined. Sales dull. 'Wheat, 54e. to 80s.
Barley, 20s. to 424. 0 its, 19s. 4d. to 325. Bd. Beans,,4os.
to 585. Weight of top wheat, Galbs. ; barley, 57 lbs. ;
oats, 4511b5. ; beans, Glilhe.
WATERIOaD, Dec. 7.-Under the influence of depressing
accounts from England, our market has become exceed-
ingly dull, prices, however, are pretty well sustained for all
dry and sweet samples, but damp ill-conditioned ones, both
of wheat and oats, must be quoted cheaper by Is. to 2s.
boll.

CATTLE.—Newanx, Dec. 7.—At our market to day
we had a very small show of stock, and prices were rather
lower. Little business was transacted.
EDINBURGH, Dec. 7.—The number of cattle in the
market this morning was 420, or 221 less than on this day
se'nnight. The general quslity was very superior. Sales
dull, and prices, as compared with those obtained last week,
down fully 3d. per Dutch stone. Top price of the b st
beef, 9s. GI per Dutch stone; current top, 95.; current
price, 84. 6d, to as.; middling and inferior sorts, from
7s. Gd. to Bs. per Dutch stone. At the close of the market
a clearance was effected. The number of sheep was
was 8,771, or 446 less than last week. Sales slowly effected,
and last week's prices barely maintained, except for sheep
of the best sorts. Good black-faced wedders brought 7d.
per lb.; current top, 61d. ; current price, from 51d. to Ga. ;
middling and inferior sorts, from 41d. to sd. At the close
of the market a clearance was effected.

CHEESE.—SALISBURY, DEC. B.—Our monthly cheese
ouriset was held to-day, when the supply was considerably
less than last market, there being barely 200 tons pitched ;
the quality of the cheese generally was very good, but new ;
the attendance of buyers was limited, and those present
seemed to flag in their purchases, the demand for exporta-
tion to foreign parts being much diminished. A reduction
of prices was sought after, but holdtrs were firm at the com-
mencement of the market, though subsequently they had
to submit to a decline of from Is. to 2s. to do busi-
ness, and then a small quantity changed hands, much re-
maining unsold. Prices : skims, 265. to 335.; hilf.skins,
30s. to 535. ; Somersets, 595. to 695. ; and Cheddars, from
70s. to 82.8.

COTTON.—LivEnrooc, Dec B.—The market closed
steadily, at previous prices. Sales 6,000 bales (1,000 for
export) ; and comprising 100 Pernant and Marsnham, at
61d. ; 300 Bahia, at 64d. to so. ; 200 Egyptian, at Gd. to
9d. ; 1,000 Surat, at la. to 41.; and 50 Sea Islands, at
Isd. to 2s. Id. per lb.
legificitteseen, DEC. B.—The market shows little or no
improvemect in demand. The light fabrics for India, for
which a demand sprung up a few weeks back, continue in
request, but the production has increased sufficiently to
prevent any improvement of price. Good seconds 10's
India mule yarns are nesrce, and prices well maintained.
11=3 trade yarns up to 40's are also rather scarce in con-
seqaence of production having been much limited on the
soutli-eastern border of the county by the general resort
to short time in the mills. The consequence is that these
goods are firmer; but in other yarns and fabric:, transac-
tions are limited and prices irregular.

WOOL.—BR►nroRD, Dec. B.—The supply of bright-
haired wools is limited, and commanding higher prices than
a month age. With the country dealers there is an unusual
degree of firmness in price, and a desire to hold, seeing it
difficult to replace. The spinners, no doubt from their
long absence as buyers in quantity, are looking round, but
the prices sought deter them from buying, except to assort
up their stocks. Nods and broker without alteration in
price, and are made only in very small quantities.—Brad-
ford Otuerfer.

There has been more doing for Lancashire, and the spool
