LACE AND HOSIERY.—NOMitOHAY, Dec. 19...
There is still an improved tone observable at the ware.
houses, with a rather better inquiry, chiefly for the home
and Continental markets. Plain new however, are still
low in price, sod cannot be made at • profit. Stock.
taking interferes with business, and there will be no
material change until that and the holidays are over.—At
the hosiery warehouses the reports are somewhat diverse,
some reporting • more quiet stock-taking season than
usual, others • decided incense in orders. The impression
,deepens that canoes and yarns have got to the lowest
figure, and that any further change must be in the dire,.
tion of better prime. After Christmas there will pro.
bably be • more active demand.—NottingthwJourrosit.

WOOL AND WOBSTED.—BRADFORD, Dec. D.—
The wool market to-day is again flat. It is so near the
end of the year no spinner is disposed to increase his
stock, and buys from hand to month. Very little wool
has changed hands. The transactions are chiefly confined
to the better eons of wool, inferior descriptions being very
much neglected. Although prices have not materially
changed, itbey have, if anything, a softening ten-
dency. Quotations, however, have upon the whole been
exceedingly well maintained. This no doubt arises from
the fact that scanty dons in hand are held by staplers
who are not obliged to =eke a sacrifice, sad that they
cannot be replaced at present prices. The report at to
worsted yarns is disco ng. The export houses make
offers much too low for spinners to accept, however
willing they may be to enter into entracte to keep their
machinery running. Some spinners receive a few orders
in soine genial sorts ; but the bulk of spinners receive no
new orders. Merchants en quite indisposed to increase
their engagements. Priem are weak and irregular. The
pine trade is veti fiat. The American houses have placed
orders to a very limited extent. The home merchants boy
very few fancy goods. Both home and foreign houses
curtail their engagements preparatory to taking stock,
Prices are weak, and in many oases lower.

CORN.—Brairrsroffide, Dec. 19.—At this day's market
there was a limited supply of wheat, for which higher
prime were asked ; but we make no alteration in oar
quotations. Barley the turn cheaper. Oats and peas
only taken in retail. Beans tending downwards.
Biusroc, Dec. 19.—0 n our market to-day the supply of
Engliah wheat was small, the demand for which ruled
very quiet, at last week's prices. Arrivals of foreign being
very heavy, buyers hold off from purchasing, and scarcely
any trameactioes took place. Malting barley dull, without
change in value. Only a retail sale for grinding. Oats
held firmly, but with very little ha/ince' doing. Peas, la
to 2s. per qr. cheaper. No change in beans or maize.

Davizmi, Dsc. 19.—Wheat has made another move
upwards to-day of from Is. to 2s. per qr., with • brisk
demand at the advance. A good caring trade was the
eon/vineries, and at the close nearly every lot was dis-
posed of. The supply, however, was small. In barley
there is little alteration ; in foot:business in this article
is in rather a stagnant state. The supply to-day was
moderate, bet the demand was slow, and 445. mustbe noted
as the top pries. Other articles as last week. Best white
wheat, 365. to 36a. 6d. ; best red ditto, 36a. to 355. 6d.
new ditto, 35a. to 36e. ; barley. 355. to 445. ; Wens, 22a.
to 254. ; oats, 255. to 28s. ; peas, 20s. to 25e. ; vetches,
245. to zes. ; rye, 19a. to 21a. ; fun flour, 58a. to 605.; bust
seconds, 50s. to 53a.

Newaas, 18.—The supply of wheat was under an
average. The trade was not so active as but week, but
extreme prime were secured. The best quotations of
barley rather lower. Other kinds Is. per qr. cheaper.
Oats woos nominally unaltered. For beans the demand
wasquiet.
Nrerahar, Deo. 19.—Our market was tolerably supplied
with wheat this day. The trade rather quicker at very
full rains. Barley in good supply and 'ate rates fully
maintained. No quotable change in oats and beans.
trIBIIIDOZ, 19.—The supply of pain moderate;
the trade dulL Wheat from 65e. to 68a.; barley, 374 to
454.; oats, 264 to 344.; beans, 44m. to 645.; pea., 444. to
sth.; rye, 445. per qr.
EDINBURGH, Dec. 18.—As compared with last week,
wheat was be. down on top, and Is. Id. down on average.
Barley was Is. 6d. down on top, and ld. down on average.
Oats ware Is. 6d. down on top, and same on average is
last week. Beans were same on top, and lld. up on
average. Wheat, 56e. 6d. to 772. ; barley, 31e. to 435. 6d.;
oats, 23e. to 35e. ; betas, 48e. to 54..

CATTLE.—BRIaTOL, Dec. 19.—We bad a full supply of
beef at our market today, but it was not of the prima
quality exhibited at the Christmas great market ; butchers
having already supplied themselves, trade was rather dull,
and scarcely anyth but beet descriptions were inquired
for. The extreme rates of last Thursday were not men-
tioned, superior sorts realising from 68e. to 70s. • and mid-
dling and inferior from 80s. to 64a. There was Ilso a full
supply of sheep, including a good number of Irish ; bat
trade was very dull, and a considerable number remained
on hand. Beat withers realised &L, and M a very few
instances 60., and ewes and inferior samples Nd. per lb.
We had a very short supply of store cattle, but it proved
quite sufficient for demand, and a very limited business
was done at prices decidedly in favour of the buyer.
There was a.good supply of midch cows, though the qua-
lity was inferior to that of last week ; the demand was dull,
and prices showed a considerable reduction, from 12!. to
171. being an average figure. There was a large supply of
pigs, but we had scarcely any demand for them, and every
dull trade resulted in a reduction in some cases of fully
id. per lb., but good bacon pigs realised an average dgure
of from 83. to Bs. 3d. per score. There was scarcely any
hones on offer, and only a very limited trade was done.
Iforrnrcium, Dec. 18.—We had a capital nemply of
of beasts to-day, and the quality was first-rate, being gene-
Telly of a very useful sort—not too fat. They met with a
pretty middling demand, the beet quality realising from
Ss. to 95., and second quality front 7s. to Bs. There was
rather a short supplof sheep for which there was a slow
sale, at from 7d. to 74d.; superior quality and second ditto,
from 6d. to 7d. per 166666. Veal sold at from 7id. to Sd.
per lb. Pigs were again plentiful, and they fetched,
both porketa and bacon pigs, from 61. to Ga. lid. a stone.
Stock at market, Wednesday :-13easts, 353 ; sheep, 6SB;
calves, 9 ; pigs, 49.

EDINBURGH, Dsz. 18.—ne supply of cattle this
morning was smaller than on this y srtnight, there
being 147, or • decrease of 217 head. Wee were fiat, but
the prices of last week were maintained. Top price, Ba. 9d.;
current for the beat, Ba. to Ba. 6d. ; middling and inferior,
6a. Gd. to 7a. 6d. per stone. The supply of sheep was
less than at last market, the number being 5,4:ki, or 73tf
fewer. Sales were dull, but the prices of last market were
maintained. Top price, 64d. • current, 6d. to fird.; era,
44d. to sd. per lb. Fed pigs 'brought se. to 6e. perstone;

EFFICACY OF Dlt. DE Jowou'g LIGHT-BROWN
Coo Ursa On, lx ConsCIUTION.—In the treatment of consume.
don and diseases of the chest, Dr. de Jongh's light.thowei Cod
Liver Ott is administered with marvellously successful results.
Allen 0. Matthew. Fag., In recording two caves of
confirmed consumption, observes: "The sole remedy employed
was Dv. de Jonolt's Light-Brown Ood 'leer oil ; and now the
patients are strung and fat; the diseased (abnormal. smuts
nearly Inaudible; and in the one cam (midi'', hunting, fishing,
and shooting are freely Indulged to, the patient expressing Wm-
pelf quite capable of undergoing as much fatigue as any of his
fellowaportamen." Dr. Hitchman, author of "A Manual of
Phthisia," remarks: " Raving extensively prescribed Dr. de
Jongh's Cod Liver Oil fora long aeries of years, in exam of cOn'
sumption, I deem It bat an act of justice to record my emphatic
testimony In favour of its superior merits es a proveutimot
emaciation, and generally as an excellent restorative In debility
and diseases of the chest." Sold only In capsuled bottle., ft-
