COTTON.-Litsaroot, Dir. 20.-Our market opened
very quietly this week with some irregularity in prices, in-

was obtained. Speculators have taken 5,730 halm of

COTTON GOODS. MANCHESTER, Dec. 20. —The
market has gradually recovered from the extreme depres-
sion which prevailed on Tuesday, and more confidence is felt
in the probable mainlines°, or peep, though it is difficult
to see on what foundation the impression can rest. Yee-
terdsy we beard of some good is... and one house aloes is
reported to have doge business to the extent of 100,000
pieces of cloth. The riptide of today's market say there is
a shade of improvement, both in business add prices.
Skirtings and other India fabrics are nearly lid. per piece
dearer than they were on Tuesday, which was, as we re-
ported, a day of unusual depression._ There is, however,
loathing like activity in the market, though nearly
all descriptions of cloths appear to be slightly
firmer. Probably the letters from India have bad some
effect in strengthening the market. Firm Bombay,
November 27tb, we learn that shirtier were advancing,
and 81b. fabrics of that description were quoted at 5 rupees
10 mar per piece. Twist was also firm. At GLlcutta,
Nov. 26, slatting' were firmer, though nude twist was
slack. la Manchester, today, there has been a very
marked improvement in yarns. Some very considerable
offers have been nude for counts, sod qualities suitable
for ludia and China, and in some cases orders have been
placed, is others oat. The market is decidedly stronger
than it has been for iio,tharst, end the offers have been
larger than during that_period. The price, of all kinds of
yaru have advanced fully Id. per lb. since Tuesday.

OORN.—Ca3Literviro, Dec. 20.—There was a small sup.
ply of wheat at market, sad a good demand for all the best
rusts, at an advance of U. par qr. Barley of bast malting
quality else rather dearer. Beeas, few offering, and with-
out change in value.
L 11,112001, Dec. 20.—1 n the early part of the week the
corn mirk,t was active, aodadvanoad prices were established
for all articles ; subsequently a quieter tone prevailed, prices
relapsing to nearly last weeks' quotations. At tirday's
market the aliteridaose was unusually small, widths triples.
tions were °ceased to retail consumptive mks, at prices
differing little from thole current last week. Than will be
no market held here on Tuesday next.
WALI7IXLD, Dec. 20.— TM arrivals of grain were mo-
derate. Wheat was &rose than last week, with a steady
