WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADPORD, JAN. 3.—The
first market in the new year opens with a very cheerful
tone. There is more inquiry for wool, and staplers are
more firm in their quotations. The demand, however, is
principally for good bright-haired hogs. Wethers
rather neglected. The stocks in band are smalL The
bulk of the wool remains in the hands of the growers, who
bold out for higher rates. The hardening tendency of the
past few weeks is still manifest to-day. The state of worsted
yarns is differently reported according to the experience of
spinners. Rome say they have clone more business, while
others state they have received no orders ; some
holding out for an advance, while some would
be glad to meet the buyers. Upon the whole,
there is more disposition to operate, but
the higher rates sought tend to restrict business. The
foreign trade continues good, but the orders given are only
smalL The demand for the continent is slow and drag-
ging. There is rather more inquiry for good super 30's;
but much business has not been the result. Some small
orders have been placed in other sorts. Rather more
business has been done in carded yarns. Spinners quote
higher rates and prices are firmer. There is great quiet-
ness in the wool market. The present cold weather has
come too late to be of any benefit to the home merchants.
The warehouse. are extremely quiet ; in fact, quieter
than they have been at the same period for many years
past. The foreign demand ia a little better. Some mer-
chants, who have held over some orders from the old par,
are placing them to-day. The aggregate amount of busi-
ness, however, is small. The American houses are almost
out of the market. The only trade that keeps op is in
figures for Mina. The trade in heavy goods is dull. In
consequence of the steadiness In wool and cotton prices
are firmly maintained.

LACE AND HOSIERY. Noproctrati, J. 3.
There is again a slight improvement in the demand for
plain and fancy nets and curtains, notwithstanding
another rise in the price of yarns, which compels machine
holders to restrict making as much as possible. The home
trade shows better symptoms as also the Indian, German,
and Canadian market', but the orders are at present very
small, just to assort stocks. The sudden rise in yarns has
somewhat checked operations in the h • trade. There
is, however, a fair amount of orders on band at the old
priers, and the workpeople are kept pretty well employed.

CORN.-Britirinanan, JAN. 3.-At this day's market
there was a fair supply of English wheat which sold at Is.
per qr. over last week's rates. Barley maintained its value.
Oats fully as dear. Beans and peas Is. per qr. cheaper.
Ihrvirss. JAN. 3.-Our supply today, both of wheat and
barley, was very small, owing to the difficulty experienced
in getting the corn to market, and the attendenoe was also
much smaller than usual. A brisk trade, however, was
done in wheat at an advance of 6d. a sack-both old and
new samples making 345. Barley is also le. per qr. higher;
and the same may be said of oats, beans, and peas, all
of which note an advance. Best white wheat? 33a. to
345. Od. ; best red ditto, 33a. to 34a. Od.; ditto new

and Egyptian at an advance of 6d. per qr. Indian corn
wee la. per qr. dearer.
NEWARK, JAN. 2.-Supply of wheat small. Trade
good, and choice samples were Is. per qr. dearer. Barley

Saisrot., JAL 3.-We had • very short supply of beef
at our market to-day, and it was scarcely rudiment for the
demand, which was rather brisk, with an active trade for
anything good at rather firm prices, best descriptions
realising from 665. to 68a., and secondary from 625. to
655. per cwt., but the majority of those on offer were of
au indifferent quality. The supply of sheep was also some-
what limited, and trade was brisk, at rather high prime,
best wethers realising from 81.1. to Bid. and in some cases
98. per lb., and ewes and secondary descriptions from ;Ad.
to Bjd. per lb. All on offer quickly changed hands. 'flie
supply of milch cows is just now rather large, and as they
are in little demand prices are very low, from 161. to 18/.
being an average figure, but inferior descriptions changed
hands at • considerably lower figure. Pigs are still selling
at low prices. There were no horses in the market.
NOTTING HAW, Jas. 2.-There was a rather short supply
of beasts, which was most likely owing to the weather ;
prices were for beat quality from Bs. Mi. to 95., and for
second quality from Bs. to Bs. 6d. We had also a very
meagre show of sheep, indeed the smallest number there
has been lately. Beat quality realised from Bd. to BAd. per
lb.; and for second ditto from 7d. to lid. wee given. Porket
pigs fetched from tie tid. to 7s. ; and &mon pigs were
asked at from 6s. to Ga. Cal. Veal was sauce at 9d. per lb.
