COTTON GOODS. MANCHISTEE, Dec. 28. The
history of this week's market is briefly told in the words
continued inactivity end depression. Buyers have bought
sparingly of yarns and they have bought sparingly of cloth,
as a rule, and prices have continued to give way. But the
true position of the market is best gathered from the
quotation of prices. 71b. India shirting, ate 7s. 3d. to
7s. 9d. per piece, and 8 ilb ditto ere Bs. 74d. to 9s. 3d. per
piece ; 29-inch T cloths of 41b. weight are 3s. Bd. to 38.9,i.;
and 33-inch, 13 by 15, of ribs. weight are 6s. 31. to 6e. 74d.
per piece. In reality, cloth has come down to an average
of something like Is. per lb. a price, which prevailed
before the war in America and the consequent famine in
cotton. With all the reports of quietness end inactivity
this is a great fact, and with moderate steadiness in the
face of a plentiful respect of cotton there is great hope in
such a fact of a hadthy and prosperous tradeto come. There
is no doubt that yesterday and to-day merchants have
been willingtto place extensive contracts in the hands of
manufacturers at the lowest prices, and that a considerable
business has resulted. Some rather heavy accumulations
of stock have also been disposed of. If there is any re-
liance in political economy as understood by cur mercan-
tile clam in the return of vices to something like a normal
bees there should be a considerable expansion of trade in
all the various markets of the world to which cotton goods
are shipped. There will be some drawbacks of course, and
one is in the great distrust occasioned by enormous losses
on stocks held by merchants everywhere of goods bought
at high prices months ago, which have undergone ruinous
depreciation by the fall a values to their old level. In
the home trade we have also to contend with high prices
in food, which also cripple demand, and with • less
flourishing state of many of the staple industries of the
country.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Dec. 28.—The
week which is expiring has been one of more than usual
dulness, at the close of a very dull and inanimate year, is
the worsted trade. The operations effected in wool were
confined to some small transactions in the finer de:Vet
tines of wool, which are in very meagre supply, and
wwiwanded steady price*. Inferior sorts have been quite
neglected, and prime have been scarcely tested. The ex-
port merchants have done some small business in worsted
yarns, but little or nothing les bees done ea home so-
count. Prime et* week and irregular, sad the business
done has bees at very low • The business done in
pieces bes been very and considerably Wow the
areage. Neither egatimentel. Areerilea, nor Wee

merchants have shown any disposition to do baldness, and
manufacturers are glad of the opportunity which a hiday
affords of still further curtailing production. Prior m. 3
still in favour of the buyer.

HARDWARE.—Bnunnonam, Die. '2B.—The principal
manufactories of this town have been closed since Clinst-
maseve ; repairs of machinery are going on, and as a rule
operations will not be resumed until the middle of next
week ; even then comparatively little will be done, so
there are very few orders on the books, and in the present
prospects of trade it wiU be quite the exception where
manufacturers are disposed to go on making up goods for
stock. Throughout the quarter just closed the stagnation
which heii prevailed in trade here has been very great.

HISTPOID, Dec. 28.-A mu oh larger market to-day and

Lawsetwa, Dora 28.—There was a limited supply of
wheat at our corn market to-day, and the attendance of
buyers was moderate. A healthy inquiry took place, and
holden were enabled to make 1.. per qr. more money
than heretofore. There wee a better demand for barley,
and sales were made to a fair extent at rather over late
priers. The show of oats was middling, and the demand
was rather quiet at about recent rates for the finest sorts ;
inferior less Arm. The demand for beans was tolerable,
and previous ratio were realised.

morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the
growers, for which a ready sale was experienced, at an im-
provement of Is. per qr. ; new moth country at the same

of the seller. In foreign little was done, owing to the high
pretentious of factors. Floor in deady request, at extreme

Oxroao, Dec. 28.—There was a good attendance at this
corn exchange to-day cosiddering the time of year, but
business traneactions in wheat were chiefly confined to
necessitous purchasers • last week's currencies were fully
maintained. Barley hid en upward tendency ; Is. to 2a.
per quarter more had to be given. The general impreadon
seems to prevail that cern will not be cheaper. Wheat
ruled from 64a. to 80e. per quarter ; barley, 37a. to 45a. ;
old beans, 48e. to 50s. ; new beans, 44e. to 475. ; hog peas,

wise la. per qr. dearer. Oats and beans ea last week.

Waimea, bac. 28.—The supply of all kinds of grain at
the Corn Exchange this morning was very limited. Buyers
were scares, and but very little business was transacted.
LOA week's prisms were maintained.
ROCUJIBTE3, Dno. 28.—Consequent on the Christmas
holidays our market was only thinly attended, while
wheat and the other descriptions of grain were in rather
moderate supply. The trade, generally, has ruled firmer,
while the tone of the market is slightly in favour of
holders. The terms for best white wheat are 70s. to 745.,
and a few extra fine samples 745. to 76.. per qr. ;
secondary runs of white, 67a to 7th., and damp and infe-
rior, 655. to b7s per qr. ; best red wheat, 665. to 70a. ;
secondary lots, 645. to 665., end damp and inferior parcels,
62a. to 645. per qr. In the foreignlaade business was dull,
and the sales confined chiefly to • few of the best North
Sea lots, which realised about late prima. The flour market
continues firm, sad best kinds are about 6d. per sack
dearer. Good samples of malting barley command late
quotations, but other lots must be written 6d. per qr.
cheaper: the quotations for best malting are 40s. to 445.,
and grinding 32a. to 34a. per qr. There was only • limited
inquiry for oats, and with large supplies on band prices
declined • further 6d. per sack. Beans and peas dull,
with but little passing. In other kinds of grain there was
no alteration. _ .

Wientat, Dac. 28.—This being Christmas week the sup-
ply of all grain is very short to-clay. Good dry wheat le
ls. per qr. dearer, and all spring corn in favour of the
buyer as to pries.
Woacrurra, Drc. 28.—At this day's market there was
a very short supply of English wheat, which sold at an ad-
vance of fully Is. per qr., with more doing in foreign.
Barley maintained its value. Oats only taken in retail.
Beans dull. Pees unaltered. -

Tom, Dec. 28.—We have a very limited supply of
wheat to-day, and good samples fetched Is. per qr. more
money. Barley not so plentiful, and the turn dearer. No
change in other articles.
WATURFORD, Dec. 28.—One cargo of wheat reported
from abroad. Deliveries of home grain by all ways re-
stricted. A very fair business has been done, considerably
more than usual during this the holiday week of the year.
Millers and dealers for some time past purchased only
sufficient to supply immediate wants, and are doing so
still, consequently they are obliged to come frequently on
the market. For all descriptions of foreign produce the
demand is steadily increasing. Wheat—Foreign better In-
quired for, and sales made some at full prices and others at
a trifling reduction. Irish has been rather neglected, and
closes Is. per barrel cheaper. Barley dull and easier.
Oats— Shipping is scarce, end this, coupled with an absence
of demand from France, restricted business, and caused
rates to rule slightly lower. Indian corn—The quantity
moving into consumption continues to increase as each
week comes round. Prices 3d. in favour of buyers.
Flour the turn easier. Imports this week :—Wheat, 2,300
qrs. Exports this week:—Maira, 1,584 barrels; oats,
2,507 ; flour, 396 seeks.
