MANUFACTURES —IIIIIDDERhFIELD, DEC. 17.—Mon
buyers have been in the market to-day both from London
and the country, anal some little improvement was observ-
able, more particularly in middle fancies and steel mix-
tures. In the better classes of spring goods there has also
been a little snore doing; but low qualities of all descrip-
tions are stall neglected, and can only be moved at a sacri-
fice. The orders to the local merchants during the week
have been more numerous, but for small parcels only. An
extended business, however, is expected on the opening of
the new year.

WOOLS.—HtDDEItsTILLD, Dirk. 17.—Prices being now
considered to be turd fur some time, buyers make emir
selections with more confidence, but take onlylsmall/quan-
tities, teeming to guard themselves against being over-
stocked.

COTTON.—Lirnstroot, Dtc.l7.—Ws have had a fair
demand to.day, the market remaining steady at reater-
day's reeks. The sales are 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 are
for export and speculation.

COTTON GOODS. —Manes. VITRR. Dec. 17.—fiellen
of shipping yarns again report a very inactive market to•

day, and prices have undergone a furtlicr decline urea
Friday. M least yams are easier to buy if not quotably
lower. The market for most descriptions of yarn for
expo' t clones quiet, with but little Lope of atuelanuett
now before the close of the year. In the home trade y.ira
market, business is also tame, though in the coarser Downs
there is rather • steadier tone than or. Friday. For :Us
twist, and 34's and 364 weft, spinners are pretty sew
engaged, owing to the heavy contracts some of our mu,
lecturers of shirting@ for India now boll, and such of the
producer. as are in this position are not very preesi,
sellers of any other stocks they may have to part
The finer counts of yarn continue rather depressed,
Spinners of shirting counts of yarn are holding with eon
firmness, because they hays not much apprehension,
owing to the extent of contracts held, that prices will Ito
the present go much lower. In the cloth trade we have r-,
great change to notices. compared with Friday, which
a day of flatness and depression ; but the business doitg
is small. There is no great pressure on the part of mit,.
factures to sell, because they think that prices have gone
down now to • beds which renders business comparatively
safe. Orleans cotton being now quoted at 74d. per lb..
price which was occasionally exceeded before the America
cotton famine, there is reason to hope that iluctuatioca
will be lets violent than of late years, and be limited to
farthings and pennies, instead of threepence', sirpesuty,
and shillings per lb. The stoppage of a Lumley betas
here—that of blesars. Nixon and Kellick—with liabilities
estimated variously at from 60,000/. to 100,1.00 f.,
caused an addition to the gloom which usually attends an
inactive market ; but there is reason to believe the estate
will show a very favourable state of assets, so soon as the
accounts have been prepared. In saying that there is be
great change noticeable in cloth since Friday, it is ties
meant that any better prices are obtainable, notwithrtand.
ing a fair amount of contracts, but that manufacturers ate
lass panic-stricken, and are cot disposed to be pressed lino
sales at lower prices so readily. The country spinners and
manufacturers mentioned in former reports aa Lavine re.
volted from the general exchange, because of the sob
cription being raised from two guineas to three, bare
already succeeded in findin; • suitable building for a cotton
trade exchange, and are said to have agreed with the Free
Trade Hall Company for their magnificent hall, at a nit
of • thousand guineas • year. Of course they will require
it only on the two market days (Tuesdays and Friday,)in each week.

WOOLLEN.—Lenes, Dec. 17.—The attendiusce at the
cloth halls this morning hu been small, few buyers hire
been present, and the business transacted haa been cur.
fined either to a few spring samples or in sorting up single
pieces for the execution of present orders. In the coloured
market a limited number of thin meltona in plain std
fancy makes, together with a few tweeds in the lighter and
more delicate shades, have changed hands, though only is
the way of samples, and the totel amount of business done
has therefore been inconsiderable. The white cloth hall
has not presented any new feature. Hair.lista are only
dull of sale, and what transactions now take place are
chiefly to next year's account. Other departments hare
been very quiet, and nothing worthy of special notice kw
transpired.

Dr.c. 17.—Weather is now mild ati
open, and all signs of winter have disappeared for the
present, and nangation with the lower Baltic and German
porta is renewed. At to-day's market a fair supply of
English wheat, which sells slowly at barely last week's
currency. Foreign moves off only in retail, and in the few
transactions that take place buyers have rather the advan-
tage. Barley dull, and all descriptions rather che►per—
good small Baltic feeding just reached, offering to 40s. 6d,
per 32 stones. Beans and peas rather easier. Oats
neglected, and all qualities rather lower. Foreign arrivals

tares, 65 qrs.
Irswicu, DEC. 17.—The supply of wheat was very
limited here to-day, and buyers were obliged to pay the
extreme prices of last week ; condition generally being
very indifferent. Barley was a very slow sale at prices
in favour of the buyer. Beans and peas no alteration.

LIMA, Dec. 17.—We have more demand for wheat
to-day, and a very fair extent of business transacted, at
rather over the prices of last week, in some Instances Is.

LYIIIII, Dec. 17.—The weather during the past week
has been unusually mild. To-day is wet, with the wind
south-wart. There was a small show of wheat at oar
market to-day, the condition was somewhat affeetel by
the weather ; the trade was firm at last week's prim.

who bought wheat sparingly at last Ilaturday's rate.
Flour slow sale. Malting barley withouthauge.
ing barley, beans, and peas were little inquired after. o.ar

SALISBURY, DEC. 17.—The supply of all kinds of gram
to-day was moderate, and the attendance somewhat in...
Business in wheat was limited, at full rates. Flour un.d•
tered in value. Good samples of malting barley wet
fair inquiry at last market's quotations, whilst Mirror
sorts were a dull trade. The malt trade was also heavy it
slight declining prices. In oats, beans, and peas but few
transactions took place, and prices nominally unaltered.

cArrut.—s.usErgy OFEJETMAN CATTLE MAW;
DEC. 17.—This market was held to-day, but there vs
nothing exhibited that attracted particular attention; Int
on the whole a bettor lot of beasts, as to quality, bred
and usefulness, has never appeared in this town. The sus!
ply, however, was less than at the corresponding perkil
1865, but fully attended by buyers. The demand for .1
classes of animals warn brisk, and prices somewhat bigLer
than at late markets, as some of our leading butchers of
this district state they gave as much as 15e. per score, awl
a good clearance in all descriptions was effected at improved
rates. The sheep market was tolerably well supplied, aid
some of the animals were of extraordinary size and quality;
the largest of one beautiful lot of Oxford dews,
22 months old, weighed 3091ba. ; end for sees
of the prirnest 71. per bead was asked, but ac
did not bear whether any changed hands. The trail
generally was brisk at advanced rates, and the large busi-
ness done appeared to be satisfactory both to buyer lad
seller. There was little or nothing doing in calve., and
in the pig market the supply was devoid of any partidar
interest, very little business being transacted, and prim
running low. There was a moderate supply of turkell,.
which sold slowly, ranging from Ba. to 10s. each (aim.
Prices averaged as follows :—Bast ex beef. 13s. lid.
to 14s. Cal. per score ; cow and heifer ditto, lla. to
13s. ; mutton, 7d. to 80. per lb. • Teal, 7.1. to 7
