COTTON GOODB.-IfA9CITESTER, Dzc. 10.—In the
yarn marled there baa been a rather better feeling to-day,
and prices are kct. per lb. up from the rates which would
have been taken yesterday. There has been a good deal of
inquiry for India anti China, and a fair amount of business
has been done for both those important markets. There
I would undoubtedly have been considerably more business if
buyers could have purchased at the rates they were disposed
' to give, which are between those now demanded and the
quotations of Let Friday ; but 'planers have shown much
more firmness today than at any time during the last fort.
night. This is in a great measure owing to an Impression
which has been gaining strength for some days peat that the
American difllculty will be got over without • resort to
arms. A good many offers have been made for home trade
yarns, but at prices which spinners are unwilling to enter-
' tain. For the Mediterranean and other marketa not much
doing in yarns. There is a better tone in the cloth u well
as yarn market, owing to the more hopeful view taken of
the American question, and manufacturers have been asking
lid. to id. per piece higher for shirtinp and other cloth 4 for
India. This, however, in the face of recent telegrams from
Calcutta, giving • leas favourable account of that market,
has had the effect of checking business. On the whole
there has been considerable disappointment in the cloth
market, the easier feeling as to the probabilities of war
having led many people to anticipate • more active
demand. There have been few and limited sales only
for India, bat where bodiless has taken place it
lute been at improved rates. Not much doing for
the home trade. Short time continues to increase.
In Manchester alone, out of 24,152 people employed in 84
cotton mills, there are 7,650 on short time, and 1,669 out of
employ. In the 1:1 silk mills, 1,006 are on short time, and
1,935 have been dischasged. In the 19 small ware mills
there are 796 on short time, and 396 have been discharged.
Is the 47 machine shops 892 are on short time, and 1,035
have been discharged. Besides these there are dyeworks,
foundries, and other shops dependent on the cotton trade,
in which many people aro on short time and from which
many have been discharged. The total workpeople on
short time aro 12,645, and the total out of employ are 6,115.

NAMTFACTURE& HVDDIESPriLD, Dec. 10. A
moderate business done in unions and low-priced woollens,
in which a few job lots have been cleared. The general
trade still continues dull, and stocks in manufacturers'
hands are vary heavy.

WOOLS.—Ht ODIIIIPULD, Die. 10.—Altbough then is
good choice in the market at moderate prices, buyers refuse
to purchase in quantity, it being so near stoak•takio time
—transactions are consequently limited to a few small luta.

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 10.—We had a very small attend-
mice of country buyers at this dsy's market, and the busi-
ness posing has been on the most limited scale, sellers in
vain offcriof to submit to a reduction of :id. per cents! on
wheat and bd. to Is. per barrel and sack on flour. Indian
corn is difficult to move even at a declined Is. per quarter,
but importers refuse to give way farther. Oats and oatmeal
both dull of sale without change in prices. Beans, peas, and
barley are each 6d. per 9r. cheaper. The market closes
without the least animation.

LYNN, DEC. 10.—Weather has been fine the past week
in the daytime ; but a deal of rain at nights. At this day's
market the supply of wheat wee better than last Tuesday ;
the dryest samples realms last week's rat.., damp aorta
must be noted la to 2s. per qr. cheaper. Barley, supply
less than usual ; all descriptions meet a ready male at la
per qr. more money. Beans and oat. prices firm. Per
imperial quarter to the grower : Wheat, white, new,
62lbs. to 6415.. per imperial bushel, Ws to fife. ;
ditto, red, 6115.. to 641ba., 59a. to 63a. ; ditto, old,

Newcern.r., llic. 10.—The weather has become wet,
which is much against the condition of grain. At our mar.
ket this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from
the growers, but owing to the mon subdued report from
Marklane, the trade opened sluggishly, and business could
only be promoted by submitting to rather easier terms.
For a parcel of choice new Suffolk wheat 70c. per 504115.
was procured, extra red at the same time being offered in
vain at 68e. Foreign was in fair request, old Holstein red
being mold for shipment at 60s. per 5011bs. Flour being in
moderate supply steadily supported its value. Other articles
unaltered.

SAttanuar, Dr,c. 10.—At our market to-day the supply
of grain was moderate sod cam to hand in softer condi-
tion, but the attendance was good. Business in wheat was
limited—oonfined to immediate wants—mid a trills in
advance. Flour unaltered in value. The inquiry for beat
malting samples of barley was brisk and a good deal of
business was done ; tone firmer. Malt trade steady and
prices unaltered. In other descriptions of grain the trade
was rather steady, bat fully maintained last week's quota-
tions. Wheat, stew, 675. to 67e. • old ditto, 42a. to Us.
Barley, 28s. to 40s. Oats, 245. 34s. Beans, 45a. to Hit

My cattle market, when there was one of the largest shows
of beasts we have had ler some years ; and the quality
"messily was also very superior, being not over fatted, but
of the moat useful description. There was a very numerous
attendance of large buyers, who provided amply for the
waste of their customers. A very fair amount of liminess
wee done, but prices rulcd high, primest Devote
reaching 13a. 6d. per soon. A large number of
the rougher sorra remained or hand. The sup-
ply of sheep was small, numbering only about 1,800,
which was 400 to 500 leas than on many ordinary market
days. There were, however, some very prime lot., which
attracted special attention and sold at high prime. The
trade wee tolerably brisk, and nearly all changed hand,.
