MARKET&

COTTON.—Liolurooi. Dso. 18.—The sales of cotton
to-day are unmated at 20,1100 balm, and the market closes
firmly at an adranos of fully id. per lb. from the prices of
yestesday.

C(YrTON GOODS.—Manc Dec. 18.—We have
had a better market for all kinds of yarns. Buyers for
ladle, China, Germany, the Mediterraneso sod the home
trade an in the market, and prices an id. to id. per lb.
higher. The amount of business has not been consider.
alAe, in consequence of heavy contracte in the hands of pro-
ducers ; but it has been comparatively large for all num-
bers up to 40's. In liner counts no change. There are
Calcutta telegrams to Nov. 24, but they report no im-
provement. Thu improvement in our market is chiefly
duo to the news of a peace having been concluded with
China, and it is not so much the result of business for that
quarter of the world as from orders for all quarters being
thrown on the market which had boon kept back iu order to
buy at the utmost depression. The downward temicify of
cloths for China has been also stopped, and prices may be
considered lid. per piece higher, with a moderate demand.
There is no change in long cloths, T cloths, and domestics,
though the China news has infused • better firebug gene-
rally. Light goods suitable to Calcutta and Bombay are
still much neglected, and where sales are made lower prices
must be accepted.
