COTTON.—Llvaaroor., Dec. 24.—The sales of cotton to.
day are estimated at about 6,000 bales, and °assist of about
4000 American, 200 Pentane and Marnharnsla, 8 to 84;
16to 10029.
Bahia, 81 ; 200 Surat, sto 61; Sea Inds,
Total, 29,060. Import since Thursday, 16,000. The
market doses steadily. Compered with Friday's retie,
pekes of all kinds are without the least change.
MMICUISTIR, Dec. 24.—Tne yarn and cloth gasakat
eientiause active, and fully last week's pricee hens boss
resdily given, but we can scarcely
.quote any farther milel
vane,. Idaosfseteren as well as spinners are beginningtos
get well under efontraot—such of them as will consent le
piece themselves nadir engagements—and some rather MI
tenet?* establishments are already seder contract to the end II
of March. A good many of our spinner, are engaged to
the end of January, and some even still later. The demand
continues more general thee it has been of late; buyers tor
the home trade, for Isdis, for the Beside and the west
mast, for the Mediterranean and the Levant, being all more
or lies in the market. Upon the 1 west prices during the
past month the advances obtainable may be quoted at nearly
an eighth of a penny per yard on domestics, with a business
fully equal to the rate of production; long cloths have ad-
upend neatly in an equal proportion, goods which were
gelling at 75. W. to Bs. per piece being now at 7s. 7id. to
Be. lid.. and these et 105.9i1. to IL. 6d. being now et lls. as
the lowest rate; and some descriptions of 4 4 T cloths are lid.
per piece higher. On 40.ineh shir iris of the higher
qualities the advance Is 3d, to 41d. per piece ; on the lower
descriptions, lid. to 3d. per piece. The advance on printing
cloths is scarcely equal to that on shirting., being only 3d.
per piece on the better kinds, of it. and lid. of the Interior
kinds ; whilst 36 inch printere command an advance et lid.
to 3d. per piece. Bolton pupate have been in more request
for India, and producers generally mind's an advance of
about lid. per piece. In printed calicoes the demand has
bun limited, and quotations have not advanced except for
navy or indigo blues, which are again rather higher in con-
sequence of the high price of indigo. In mule yarn there is
an advance on counts from 6 to 14 of about Id. per lb. on the
quotations of a few week. aro ; and on 16's to 24's about
the same ; while 38's to 42's are fully id. higher, 60's about
11.,60's about Id., 70's about and 80's about Id. per
10. in advance of last month.

LINEN.—BARNSLET Dec, 24.—At the close of this year
we hate to report the state of the linen trade in this town
to be duller than usual; numbers of weavers, bleachers, and
dyers are either wholly or per.tally un.mployed. Thest(cks
of manufactured goods are low, end many of the bleach
works are so crowded with yarns that a deficency of ware-
, house room is found.

SILK.—The circular of Messrs. Durant and Co. states that
they have now to report large g.neral business. The check
given by the September advices front Coins having induced
consumers to work up their stocks tolerably close, they were
in a position to be able to take in coantity. In China silk
about 2,600 bales Dave changed hands, at the full prices of
September. Id Bengal silk there has been active business
in all cleats, except the very low, g e Ily at about former
rates—in some few instincts a slight concession has been
made, by way of closing large shipments. Italian silk re-
mains neglected, the high prices at which importers are ob-
liged to hold tlacing it quite beyond the reach of our con-
sumers. It is d that the continental markets are already
feeling the rftets of the small crop. In Brutia silk the its.
porters made a stand for an advance of 6d. per lb., at the
unloading of the last two vessels; but, finding this was not
obtainable, they have gm:W.lly given up their pretensions,
and have sold at former prices. In I'. mien silk a few small
parcels are occasionally taken for export.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lame, DEC. 24 —We have no
change to report in the state of this day's market—a brisk,
active butineu has been dm..

WOOL—HUDDERSFIELD, Dec.24.-Bines our last report
the Wool trade has been rather ►rub. and the dealers are in
an•ieipation of a further roe in the market. O. tman Wools
are more in demand, tomato mere on a par with Botany
Wools than they were.

MANUFACTURES.—HUDDERBPIELD, Dem 24.—Our
Cloth-hall has been frequented by many buyi.m tbis morn-
ing, and consequently a good business by been done, espe-
cially in low. thick fancy woollens for immediate use. In-
quiries are also made for good patterns I. lire.t fancies for
the spring trade. Rather better piece are obtained.

HOPS.—Wencasysn, Der. 24.—We have no change to
report in this market tones last week, which remains very
quiet, at former priers. Number of pockets weighed last
week: Old, 6; Saturday, new, 11.

CORN - BARIOILMT, Dec. 94 -We had a moderate
attendants of millers and farmers at this day's market, at which
little business we. dope. The rates of last Iwo& were scarcely ob-
tainubta, and in some instances Wheat odd at from 61. to 9d. tier 3
bushels below the rates of last week. Wheat .old at from 15s. al. to
I7s. per 3 bushels Barley, from 265. to 211 s. per qr. In other groin
little was doing.

HAYWARD'S BRATS, Dee 24.-Our market being held
'day earlier than usual, the eta:tame. was very stead, and the
business transacted was so limited as to write prices nominally es last
week for all sorts of grain. Wheat, white, old, 101. lo 17. 10..;
red, IN. to 107. 10s. ; new, white, if. to 111. ; red, 91. to

HULL. Dee. 24.-We have had • very quiet week in every
branch or the trade, with a tendency towards decline In price.. The
threatening of frost bas dtaapp sated, and arrivals from abroad con-
time in some exam of conrumptive demand. There was a good
show of Wheat from our own farmers tirslay; the wartlike only
middling. Millers were able to moldy their wants on easier terms
than lad week, even for best dry ampler, while far Inferior la. to h.
to. money bad to be takes. Very little, and that only retail, Mad-
an@ doing in foreign. The balk of the present arrival goes to gra-
nary. Spring Cora of all kinds very dull sale, and In eamedlagly
Muted demand. Liaised very firm, end a good sale for Cakes. Rape-
seed fully supports fur quotation, and Rape Cakes are In improved
demand. Imports: Wheat, 3,5 7; Barley, 3,333; Beans, I 2; Pees,
036; Tares, 1,007 ; Linseed, 4,373; MI Cakes, 391 tons; Ranee, 300.
lltawicx, Dee. 24.-Our market to day was thinly at.
tended, and extremely dull. Mod samples of Wheat In bad condi-
tioa, and mat with a Blow en!e. Barley, except for anything very
Wm, was cheaper. Peas, Beam, and Oats remain at former prime.
Lanni, Dec. 24.-The supply of grebe continues steel)),
and the show to-day Is good of all articles. The trade still retains the
same character as albite, quite retail, lied without activity ; the pricer
of Wbeat are much as ea Friday, and Barley is also without alters.

LIWOHTON BUZZARD, Deo. 24.-This Wine Christmas
week our market was thinly attended, and as such rather a aborter
simply of grain offering than of late. Wheat barely sustained last
weeks prima, and Barley must be considered la per qr. lower. In

Ltunroo4, Dee. 24.-Although a tolerable number of
home and country millers appeared .t our market to-day, the down-
ward tendency in London yesterday, and a good diaplayof ample. on
the stands here, evidently discouraged any active proceedings, sad
for all clef :Options of Wheat we have to note a slow limited eels on
terms scarcely equal to those of taut week, holders still resisting an
material abatement intermediately Mace Friday several thousand
barrels of Mnerimn Flour chugged hands at late pekes and the
general brands of metes and Canadian, an well as Preach, being in
moderate request from consumers tble morning, each maintained our
last quotations, Iriek remaining very difficult of Ws. Mathew Barley
and Matt, upon a fair demand, were Imply in value • grinding Bar-
ley unrifled Bel= and Peas, =relict little inquir;, were the turn
cheaper. Owing t) the abundant supply of Oatmeal, new Oats moved
epannely at a decline of Id. to M. per 451ba. tram the rates of thin

trade for Indian Cons was eraser, the partial decline at the end of the
week recovered, and a moderate meant of Madam was effeeted.
