COTTON GOODS. Manonzsres, Dna 15. -- The
market is very quiet to-day, and there has not been much
business even for a half-holiday. Prices are much the
same as yeaterday. Reviewing the business of the week
it has been evident that buyers of cloth have continued to
stop the way. They have no thorough confidence in
prices. On Titeedsy, under the impulse of a higher and
more active cotton market, they came into themarket more
freely than they had done of late, and executed some of
their most pressing orders, giving rather higher rates than
they had been willing previously to purchase at. Sellers
to the
on their part raised quotations in proportion
advance in yarn and cotton, but these prices checked
business, and but few transactions were effected at full
rates. The amount of business done, however, was suf-
ficient to relieve stocks, and sellers have more or less
been disposed to cling to the advance established on that
day. As the week has progressed business has slackened
sensibly, and there is some weakness in most descriptions
of cloth held by parties who press sales. Yams, with
some few exceptions (such as 16's to 24's water twist for
instance) have been much more difficult of sale since Friday.
To press sales means lower prices, and the business doing
yesterday and to-day has been done on slightly easier
terms.

WOOLLRIC.— Lam, DEC. I.s.—The markets e
at-
this
morning have again presented a quiet appeanince, thesis
tendance of buyers has been mall, and few parcels of any
importance have changed hands. In the colou
cloths
been transferred ; the demand for tweeds has been incon-
siderable, and a marked contrast from our recent report
has been apparent in this department. The demand for
hairlists has also been quiet. A few small parcels of
better class goods have met with purchasers, though only
to a limited extent. No other transactions have been
worthy of special notice. Prices have been firmly main-
WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADPORD, DEC. 15.—
There was a very fair business done in most sorts Bchl
at the early part of the week, and some sore the
as
bright-haired wools, have been in demand up to the close.
The supply of wool in the market is only manty. Stocks
for a long time past have been gradually diminishing
without any replacing of wool sold, and the result is that
staplers, on seeking to purchase, find the prices of growers
so much above those current in this meat of consumption,
that little wool is added to diminishing stocks. With
growing scarcity, though there is little demand, quotations
continue to harden ; and Lincoln hogs, which are in most
demand, may be quoted at Is. 1111 d. per lb ; and wethers,
in alender request, at Is. Bd. per lb. There has been
greater activity in wonted yarns of late. Very birge
quantities of yarns, chiefly for export, have been moved
from stocks, and, in moat cases, spinners have got well under
contract. There have been some low offers made for
some sorts of single yarns. Two-folds have also been in
fair request. An improved range of prices has been
ient to estab-
lished, though the advance obtained is hardlysuffic
remunerate for the advance in the price of the raw mate-
riAL The piece trade has not shared to any appreciable
extent in the improvement in the other branches of the
worsted trade. There has been rather more doingother
for
France and the continent, but little doing for any
marketa. Prices, on account of the hardening tendency of
the raw material, are necessarily firm.

FlARDWARE.—BuriuNctuar, Dec. 15.—The trade of
this town is reported of more favourably this week ; the
country orders have come in more freely, and mandate
tuners generally are better engaged. In the foreign de-
partment business continues dull, and advices recently
received from various markets are not of • character to
justify the anticipation that any improvement is at hand.
Asregards the East Indian trade, all is still uns t
extent,a
fac-
tory, and those of the merchants who, to a grey
suspended operations in May last, will be in no hurry to
resume, except to a very moderate extent, until the com-
mercial atmosphere becomes clearer awl the exchanges are
more favourable. The continental tr.ulo generally is quie
from all quarters remittance' come slowly, and, taking
into account the amount of business done of late, the in-
debtedness outstanding very much exceeds what it usually
is. The South American trade generally is inactive ;on
account of the West Indies a fair amount is being done ;
also to the United States.

good of barley and beans, small of peas. Wheat sold
freely at fully Is. advance. Barley firm, and beaus ls. to
'..la. lower. Peas unaltered.
GUILDFORD. DEC. 15.-The supply of wheat to-day was
moderate, of barley and other spring cons large. Wheat
was held for an advance, which rather checked sales at
first, but a fair business was done at the turn in favour of
sellers. Barley in more general demand at last week's
prices. Wheat, 60a. to 745. ; barley, 34a. to 505.; oats,
20s. to 305. ; peas, 395. to 434.; beans, 445. to 54x.
LEICESTER, DEC. 15.-At to-day's corn market the quan-
tity of wheat on offer was hardly so large as usual. The
grass lands are look iug well in this locality. A fair share
of business was transacted, and buyers had to pay Is. per
qr. more money than last week. New red realised 60a. to
680. ; new white, 68s. to 70s. ; old red, 66a. to 708. ; old
white, 70s. to 765. per 36 stone. The demand for superior
i parcels of barley was moderate, and prices remained about
the same ; for ordinary sorts the demand was languid, and
I prices /fele in buyers' favour. Malting , 425. to 50a. per qr. ;
L grinding, 325. to 345. per 30 stone. There was rather more

I blished ; old, 325. to 40e. ; new, 245. to 30s. per 24 stone.
The show of beans was tolerable, but there was not much

568. to 60s. • new, 46e. to 50s. per 34 stone. Fine flour,
48a. ; seconds, 44i. to 465. per 20 stone.
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Dec. 15. -At our market this
morning we had a tolerably free delivery of wheat from the
growers and the arrivals from the coast, as well as from
abroad, being to a good extent, there was in consequence
less freedom in sales ; still, however, fresh thrashed
samples were cleared off at the full rates of this day
oe'nnight, whilst for south country and foreign the ad-
vance of the week was fully nudntained. Flour without
change. Barley a dragging sale, and inclining cheaper.
Malt had a few buyers. Little done in beans or peas.
Oats were in little favour, owing to our principal buyers
being fully stocked, and in the moderate business doing
lower terms were submitted to. The arrivals this week
are : -Wheat, coastwise 5,666 ; foreign, 4,983. Bye, coast-
wise, 24. Barley. coastwise, 2,006 ; foreign. 2,610. Malt,
coastwise, 77. Oats, coastwise, 3,775; foreign. 5,787.

foreign, 75 qrs. Flour, coastwise, 2,138 sacks. Indian corn
flour, 750 sacks.
NORWICH, DEC. 15. -At this market to-day the
supply of wheat was limited, and a firmer tone pervading the
trade, pi ices ruled about Is. per quarter higher then last
week. The supply of !barley was large, and • general
dulness prevailing in the trade, prices for malting quali-
ties gave way about Is. per quarter, while to dispose of
other qualities a still further decline was acceded to. The
weather during the past week has been changeable.
White wheat (weighing 621ba. to 6311*.), 68e. to 70a. ;
red ditto (weighing 601ba. to 631ba.), 584. to 635. ; best

Norresueaw, Dec. 15.-There was a moderate show of
wheat, and the condition of the samples was by no means
first-rate. There was a tolerable demand, and all dry sorts
were Is. per qr. dearer. Old white sorts made &es. t 0735.;
old red, 60.. to 67a. ; new white, 665. to 745. • new veil,
58s. to 635. per 36 stone. There was a pretty good supply
of barley, but the demand ruled slow, and prices, except
for the finest qualities, were rather lower ; malting, 40s.
to 535. per qr. ; grinding, 30s. to 38a. per 30 stone. The
quantity of oats on offer was middling, and there was a
steady demand at prices equal to those of last week; old,
32a. to 385. ; new, 245. to 32a. per 24 stone. Of beans the
show was tolerable; the demand, however, ruled inactive,
and prices declined la. per qr. ; old, 545. to 58s. ; new,
44a. to 525. per 38 stone. Peas dull and receding. Super
flour, 48s. to 50s. ; fine. 455. to 465. per sack of 20 stone.
Oleos°, Dec. 15.-There was a good attendance, and
the supply of wheat was fair, with !ether adull trade, and
yet prime samples made rather more money than this day
een'night. The general opinion seisms to be that after
Christmas prices will still be higher. The barley trade
was not quite so good. Beans, peas, and oats at full cur-
rencies, with a fair demand. Old wheat made from 60s.
to 70s. per qr. ; new wheat, 50.. to 66e. ; barley, 30s. to
