sire demand, with some advance in pries, last Friday sad
Saturday ; but on Monday the market became quiet, 'ad
the business has since been limited, the week doting
heavily, with a decline in almost every description from
the quotations of Thursday last. The pressure to odi
American cotton " to arrive" continues to exercise sa
unfavourable influence generally. For Sea Island there is
a limited demand, at previous rates. American, after
advancing fatly id. per lb., has receded since Monday,
under the weight of import, sad closes at a decline from
last week's rates of id. per lb. in the common and mid
tiling, and id. in the bettor qualities. New York advice' to
the 12th inst. quote middling American 164 ciente, costing to
sell in Liverpool 7 3-16 d. per sailing used, 7 5-16 d. per
steamer. Brazil Is quoted id. lower, and very treaty
offered. Egyptian, though in good demand, has bees

°ono)/ GOOD£3.-31axamnrren, Ditc. 13.—The mar-
ket has been undergoing a gradual change in favour of
buyers all the week, a result which must almost neces.
eerily follow the decline which has takes place in cotton.
Prices have perhaps hardly fallen so rapidly in yarn and
cloth as in the raw material, and this arises In great mea-
sure from prices having already reached ea low a point,
comparatively, that the great buyers for foreign markets
have been able to place contracts in the hands of spinners
and manufacturers on satisfactory terms, anticipating the
production for months forward. Many of these contracts
extend into January and some into February and later
for completion of deliveries. The holders of such contracts
are mainly men whose yarn or cloth is of approved make
and quality, and for which a character has been esta-
blished in the market. The report of sellers to-day is that
the market for shipping yarns is very quiet, and that to
effect sales lower prose would have to be taken than on
Tuesday, and so low in fact as not to lead to much bug-
nese. The inquiry for home trade yarns has not been ani-
mated, but at • slight concession in these yarns on the
rates of Tesedfty • moderate business has been practi-
cable. In cloth business has been on • very limited scale,
but large orders could be taken if manufacturers would
yield more in price.

CORN.—ChimunsroaD, Dec. 13.—The return of mild
weather bas much affected the condition of all grain.
Farmers do not bring forward large supplies, and there is
no pressure to sell We had a small attendance at to-
day's market, and a still smaller supply of wheat. Dry
samples were scarce, and commanded rather more money.
A fair show of barley, for which there was a good demand
at an advance of le. Beane le. dearer.

LINCOLN, Dec. 13.—We have had a small supply of
wheat to-day, and prime ruled la. to 24. per qr. lugber•
Barley in good demand at fully late rates. Wheat, red.

Lit's/Poor., Dtc.ll3.—To-day's market wee well at-
tended by all classes of buyers, and in wheat a good con.
sum= business took place at the extreme rates of Tues.
(S I Flour was well inquired for, and realised recent
figures. Oats were neglected. Oatmeal quiet and
unchanged. Egyptian beans steady. Canadian peas slow,
and Is. per qr. cheaper. Malt dull. Indian corn in fair
request, at an advance of 6d. per qr. since Tuesday.
Weeseitt.m, Dec. 13.—There la more firmness in the
wheat trade to-day, but as (actors will not take last week's
prices, there is little or nothing doing. Barley slow sale
at the rates of last Friday. Old beans do not go off
readily ; new are in fair demand ; prices as before. Oats
and other articles unaltered.
