COTTON.—Livffitroot., Die. 20.—The demand for
cotton has been good, chiefly from the trade throughout
the week ; but the market is freely supplied, and closes
with some decline in most descriptions. For Sea Island
there continues a fair inquiry, and prisms are generally en.
changed. Extensive sales of American to arrive continue
their depreumg influence upon the general market ; still
American on the spot is in good request, and support'
former rates. Brasil continues much premd for
sale, and prices are 'gain id. id. lower. Egyp-
tian is still irregular, and has further given way
jd. Tier lb., though in fair request. Bed India
has been difficult of sale, and in many instances 0. per
lb. lower, but fair descriptions are exceptionally steady.
Speculators have taken during the week 1,670 balsa ; ex.
porters, 11,400 bales ; and the trade,55,460 bales. We have
had a fair demand to-day, but the market has been some-
what slow, and with more disposition on the part of
holders to sell prices are in some instances rather lower.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCIIZWI7I, Dxc 20.—The mar.
ket for shipping yarns continues quiet, with some irregu.
larity in prices, and today very little haziness has been
transacted for any market. At the same time there are
buyers for India, China, the continent of Europe, and
other quarters, and at a little under present quotations a
large busineu might be done. In home trade yarns busi-
ness has been quiet but steady. There is very little change
in prices sines Tuesday. The business in these goods,
however, will nearly be equal to an average. The cloth
market since Tuesday has continued very depressed, sad
only a small amount of business is reported ; but peter-
day and to-day some very large offers have been made at
low prices. These prices, however, are exceedingly low,
and are such under the circumstances as could not be
seriously entertained by manufacturers. Commercial ad.
vices from India and China are considered discouraging,
and letters from London have mostly been of a similar
character. In both yarn and cloth buyers have been sus
oesaful in picking up goods here and there on lower terms,
though in general spinners and manufacturers hold rather
steadily to their quotations, and though the slightly easier
state of the cotton market has been against them.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 20.—We had an average attendance
at to-day's market, and for wheat there was a fair inquiry
at the extreme prices of Tuesday. Flour steady, and
cranes unchanged. Indian corn in limited request, and
bd. per qr. lower. Egyptian beans and Canadian peas
