corroN.—LiviaPooL, Jaw. 4.—The cotton market
became quiet on Friday morning un the declaration of
stook, and in some instances a slight decline was sub-
mitted to, but as the day advanced holders showed more
firmness ; on Saturday the sales were large, the market
having fully recovered to Thursday's rates. Upon the
resumption of business on Wednesday, after the New.
year's holidays, the demand was very extensive, and occa-
sionally rather higher prices were paid, and today, not.
withstanding a slightly quieter tone, the sales have been
considerable in amount, the market closing with a partial
advance upon last week's rates. New York advice, to
the 2nd instant quote middling at 35 cents. costing to
sell in Liverpool 151 d. per lb. For Sea Island the
demand is only moderate, and prices are without change.
American continues in general request, and shows an
average advance of about Id. per lb. In Brazil a good
amount of business has been done, and a rise of id. to id,
per lb. has been established. Egyptian is in more eaten.
sire demand, and commands full prices. The increase in
stock, chiefly, as it proved, in East India, caused the mar.
ket to rule a little lower ; subsequently greater confidence
prevailed in those deecriptions, and prices of sawginned
are advanced Id. per lb. ; other kinds are generally fins,
and in some instances partially dearer than our last.
Speculators have taken during the week 9,790 bales ; el.
porters, 8,850 bales ; and the trade, 45,170 bales. We have
bad a good demand to-day, and a steady market at yeder•
day's prima. The sales are 10,000 bales, of which 2,000
are for export and speculation. The following are the
official quotations of fair Orleans, 17d. ; middling ditto,
1568. ; fair Mobile, 161 d. • middling ditto, 15gd. ; fair
uplands, 161 d. ; middling ditto, 151 d.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCRESIIM, JAN. 4.—There •as
a strong market up to Wednesday, so far as prices were
concerned, but buyers were acting cautiously. To-day our
market has assumed a quieter tone. In shipping yarns
very little business has been transacted, and to force salts
rather easier rates would have to be takes. The business
in home trade yarns has been slow. Sellers are demanding
full prices, but this checks business, and there have been
no transactions of any weight. In cloth there has not
been much business done any time this week, but prices
have been rather tenaciously held to by manufacturers u
• rule. In some instances attempts have even been made
to advance quotations, but the transactions were few in
number and limited as to quantity. To-day sellers are
quoting all classes of goods nominally higher than last
week, but the advance has not been endorsed by pur-
chasers in the shape of business. Wo have had hat a
limited inquiry, and • quiet feeling prevails. At the BUM
time there has been no attempt to induce business
by any concession in prices. The demand for the India
markets is rather more inactive than for other quarters,
but the market generally is inanimate.

CORN.—CnaLmsronia, Jaw. 4.—We had a small imnily
of wheat at market to-day, for which fanners sal, a It
prices ; an advance of 2a. was, however, freely given Pot
beat runs. Barley and beans also Is. dearer. Wheat,
ets. Ild.; barley, 44is. 4d.; oats, 25e. 10d.

LINCOLN, JAN. 4.—A fair supply of wheat at our market,
and prices were Is. higher than last week. Barley semis
request, and fully Is. dearer.
WAKEFIELD, JAN. 4.—We have an active demand
for Engliah wheat to-day, at an advance of 2a. per yr.
from Last Friday's rates, and more bilabials doing in all
foreign qualities. Barley quite as dear. The supply of
beans is beyond the demand, and prices give way. WU
and other articles unaltered.
