COTTON GOODS.-11d.theliReTER, JAN. 4.—The
market exhibits the same buoyant tone we unfired last week,
and prices are again advancing. A very active demand in
yarns for India and China has been experienced, and price.
are Id. to Id. per lb. dearer than last week. Cop and nod
yarns for wanufecturers are Id. to Id. (lever. The demand
le good for all matkete, and buyers find thertweing
diffioulty in placing order., owing to the extent to
which spinners are pre-engaged. Clothe are elect in
active request, at the extreme rates of last week, and
conviderable orders are still giving out, notwithstanding
the difficulties interposed to an early supply by the inade-
quate rate of production. These remark. apply to India
clothe. There to a fair demand for other foreign market..
but the trade to India for the last three months Mut absorbed
three-fourths of the whole production for export. The fact
that the exports to Calcutta in Detention were leas than in
November nen evidence that the goods could not be bud to
export In the letter month, and the etippliee for the meow
month are likely to be much in anear of the requirement* of
trade. Dileeere. Du Fey and Co., in their monthly circular,

I Other climate have, however, been et work in India to anima-

extravagant prima yrs paid for produce, unnaturally reined
by over-trading in 1551, have beets inanely instrumentel to
creating an unusual demand for our motel' fibrin.. Sanding.
of bullion, both fur the balance of trade and for the regetre-
manta of the army, which had to bo guldenly increased by
argue thirty or forty thousand men, attended in that luxuriant
country by many hangers on, all consuming, at a war rate,
the products of the earth and oommoditith of the loom or
hands, the vending recklessly the treasuroe, wherever
11 to be found, iodifferent to whom they belonged, have
all tended to the pante end. Add to these the
money spent in railways and roads, by which the forwarding
of cotton geode to the interior is facilitated; and, lastly, the
neglect the war ha. engendered, in cultivating cotton in
moms districts, generally worked up in the country for home
consumption—end we bath at leant the chief cement which
explain the extraordinary export trade to the East. Will and
can this lest P le the natural question of all, fur whether en-
gaged Incommeree to the went, both", continent, ortothenortb,
it is a natter of the utmost importance to avvertain whether
the exports to the cant can possibly go on at thin rate. Si
far experience has but too often shown us that one extreme
begets another, that the Immo. of Manchester are able of
ovar-euppli iug any market, and it is nothing new to beer
notions expreseed on the ion of the producing
class, that the demand will heneeforth be larger than the
'weraehop of the world' eau natality supply. We know,
however, too little en yet of what India can do; and while
we name the 1.0114 of the raw, let us &leo owe the pros of it.
We hear front a veined friend of 0ut..., and ens who to not
prone to exaggeration, while he is emetic illy engaged in the
trade, the benefits of which he hoe largely and deservedly
shared, that India would, for some time to come, end
at a certain price, take the bulk of our produc-
tions In goods suitable for the Engem. markets."

SILK.—The pest year has hems generally patiefeeton. to

scale of prices was necessary to enable the trade to work up
to advantage the large stocks then in existence ; we mew
peently returned in March to within a fraction of the prim
current on the let of January. In April moderate rates
again produced demand, and a large businees 'prang up,

meets in China caused a rapid reaction, and in a few
weeks prices had receded some 2s. per lb., since which
we have had an active demand, and latterly
have again advanced to within a fraction of the highest

one-third of that existing on the Ist January, 1858, and geed
silk almost exhausted ; it is, however. satiefactory to know
that ample supplies are close at hand. The China triton
recently delivered report settlements for the fortnight 4.000
