MARKET&

COTTON.—Llssaroor., I 20.—The sales d tattoo
ho-day are estimated at 20,000 hales. The market domes
firmly at the fall quotatioas el yesterday.

WOOL AND WOILSTED.--Bsanronn, Die. 20--As
usual at Christine. tune the wool market is in a very in-
active state. Some staplers, indeed, report a rather Un-
proved inquiry over last week ; but if there is any, it does
sot miter the tone of the market. There are still very few
buyers, and little wool has changed hands. The currency of
several weeks beck is firmly maiutaiued, bright-hatred'
wools, for which, of course, there is most demand, being
specially firm. The stocks on baud for the time of the year
are not an average. Noels and broken are firm, and are
taken up as produced. There is so new feature of import-
lace to notice in the worsted yarn department, either as to
demand or price. The export Louses are doing little
business, causing a great degree of caution on the part
of spinners. Home manufacturers are making a few per-
chase for the new year. The yarns which are usually in
demand at this season by the Gomm Loyalcs for unmake-
tare into goods for America are not required. We hear that
there is a slightly improved inquiry amen the makers of
goods for China for yarns suited to that breach. There is •
very thin attendance of merchants in the piece market. A
few Germans are about, but are not buying much. They are
expected to more freely after Napoleon's speech on the Ist
proximo. Extreme caution amongst the Americans is still
manifest, nod just at the time of stook-taking buyers
generally keep from ifuliftiag, and purchase only what
they require. Notwithstanding all this, a degree of cheer-
fulness prevails, and better hopes are entertained front the
favourable change in the weather.

CORN.—Smarscrtsm, Dec. 20.—At Gloucester market
on the 15th wheat wee rather dearer. At Worcester, same
day, the turn in price was in favour of the buyer, beam
and peas offering lower. Barley and oats nominally awed-
, with a tribiug demand fur tattler. During the present
week we have had more sale for wheat at fully previous
rate*. Oats, barley, beans, and peas only taken in retail.
At Wolverhampton, yesterday, fine wheat realised ls. to 2a,
per quarter more money, hut the trade was by no means
brisk. At this day's market there was a short supply of
wheat from the farmers, and all qualities sold at an im-
provement of Is. to 2s. per quarter. Fine barley rather
dealer; ether qualities neglected. Oats rather cheaper.
