p Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Company, in their
verland circular, make the following general re
arks :
toSiTice the commencement of the year there has been
tsiderableli activity in business, and prices of many articles
i,"°Z further advanced. The rapid rise that has taken place
pre value of cotton has caused some apprehension lest it
ii;ukicl be the means of causing spinners to work short time,
serl,u6 event of which all descriptions of produce would be
Irkl°tlalY affected, both as regards the consumption and
Brea but as high prices always produce larger supplies,
Br threetened scircity of this important staple may not
the,'„ve 80 serious as is at present anticipated. Although
tite is no alteration in the rate of discount, money con-
En ",s in active request, and the bullion in the Bank of
in-hßLarld has slightly decreased, by the returns of last week,
th;°th departments, L 10,180,984, against £10,692,526 at
Wraperiod last month. The public were taken so.me..-
" uy surprise by the directors, on the Bth instant, raisin,

Ole, apprehensions felt that further restrictions will shortly

-"n to the Continent in purchase of silver for shipment
'he East.
ilkilusiness in Manchester is reported to be very
.Where contracts are drawing to completion
.
re is a disposition to accept lower terms for
' erie
wals ; but so far buyers stand aloof, although
ei,t,ions
could be entered upon at a decline of
I ia„ t° 42d per piece in goods, and *d per lb. in
'us, from the highest rates lately paid. At the
irk'adford market yesterday, there was no alteration
e,.,vf°ole and noils. Yarns were in more active de-
,,,t:41(1, and better prices were paid, with the prospect
LI a further advance. A fair amount of
Isineas was done in piece goods, and a steady
t4ie continues observable. Prices still manifest
upward tendency, and further advances are in
ii~tlY cases demanded by manufacturers.
The Grain trade manifests no marked change.

Imports here are to a fair extent, but the export is
limited, and, with only a moderate trade demand,
prices of wheat have receded 2d to 3d per 701hs,
particularly in parcels ex ship. Flour is nominally
worth previous quotations, and Indian Corn would
have been more largely dealt in but for the
unwillingness of sellers to concede the turn in
favour of buyers. To-day's market dull, and trade
restricted, at prices favouring buyers for all
articles. Our reports from ; the leading markets
held yesterday and to-day, report a chill and
inanimate business, and prices of all kinds have a
declining tendency.
The public wool sales which commenced here
on the 16th instant, closed this afternoon. The
total quantity of East Indian brought forward
amounted to 12,092 bales, being the largest
quantity that has yet been put up to competition
at any one period.
At the commencement of the sales there was a very large
attendance of both foreign and home buyers, which was
further increased as the sales progressed, In consequence
of the great advance in English wools, the better qualities
of East India, and those suitable tor carding purposes, sold
with very great competition, and one mark realized 161 per
ib, and 3 ba'es 1611, being the highest rrlees that have yet
been paid for this description, anti no doubt, by care and
attention, finer wool than these could be produced in India.
We quote an average advance on fine wools of about 1d to
2d per lb, and on low to good yellows and whites, ld te"
per lb.' above the rates of our September sales. The follow-
ing are the range of prices—Fine carding, 1511 to 16d ;
white, good to fine, 12d to 151 ; extra fine, 1611; low to
middling, 91 to lld ; yellow, good to fine, lid to 131;
low to middling, 81 to 101; black and fawn:, fine, 8 1 to
10V; ordinary to middling, 61 to 7d ; native black, 4d to
511 ; grey, 3d to 41d. Persian wools were in great requests
and sold well,white,l3l ' • yellow, fine, 1211; coarse, 91 ;
black and fawn, fine. 124 to 12;1; coarse, 21 to 101.
Egyptian wool realised very high prices ; extra fine combing,
1614 ; middling to good, 1214 to 1511 ; yellow locks, 111 d
to Il4d ; black and fawn fleece, lld to 121 d, locks, 92d
to 101 d.
From the freight circular of Messrs Goodliffe
Smart, of London, we learn that—
During the past fortnight there has been a more general
enquiry for tonnage; nevertheless, business is difficult to
be concluded, as merchants, on the one band, see an
abundance of tonnage ; and owners, on the other, are
indifferent as to closing at the present comparatively low
rates. 'there is still much langour in chartcrliog for East
India, for Calcutta £4. 'oa has been the maximun for small
vessels; but OA the round with salt from Liverpool £5 lOs
is given for veseela of 800 tons. From the West Indies the
trade is represented to be comparatively circumscribed, but
in some cases small vessels are being taken up from Ha-
vannah on th 3 round from the Tyne at 72s 61. There is a
good trade in South American charters ; and there is an
active trade in charters for guano from the Chiuchas at
£4 lOs British flags to IT. IC., or £4 lOs for foreign to
London or the Continent between Havre and Hamburg,
but we have not been able to close at these rates unless for
vessels actually arrived in their discharging ports, and we
have found difficulty in getting Atherican flags taken, except
in such eases as we have been able to show that the business
is direct, and not a speculative re-charter ; we mention this
as some disparagment has lately been thrown on American
flags, owing to patties having taken up these vessels in
American ports on speculation, with a view of re-fixing
them to the London charterers • such operations are now,
however, thwarted by a total refusal to take vessels thus se-
cured at any price.
The circular alluded to concludee, as follows :
We are now beginning to have attention directed to
timber charters from Canada, but few if any contracts have
yet been closed, merchants are therefore principally anxious
to know at about what point these freights will open. We
have named 40s from Quebec to London, Hull or Grimsby,
36s Belfast or Londonderry timber, or 95s per stand.
Deals Miramichi to Belfast, Londonderry or Dublin. This
trade is so sensitively affected by the state of the money
market, that although the pressure is somewlz at lessened,
yet we fear we must not at present expect the trade to be
sufficiently buoyant to admit of high rates of freight,
although the market would at suitable prices admit of large
operations. We must also allude to the Archangel trade,
for which about this period we usually begin to charter.
No vessels have yet been taken up, but we anticipate 4s 3d to
4s 61 will be the opening rates for oats to the E. C. ; the
great check will, we fear, be found in the high value of this
article in Archangel, as compared with the relative prices
here ; and, from present prospects, we should rather recom-
mend our friends to accept the above rates, than stand out
in expectation of an improvement. Wine charters from
Oporto are excessively dull ; we have placed a few small
craft at 22s 6cl per ton, princpally taken for the sake of
the coals outwards; these we have combined at £22 per
keel from the Tyne, and 18s from Wales For corkwool,
we are getting only £3 17s 6d Sines to London, or £3 lOs
Faro to London ; the ports in this neighbourhood being
full of seeking ships, which have taken grain cargoes
principally from London, but the export of which has very
sensibly declined.
The Master in Chancery charged with the wind-
ing up of the Amazon Life assurance and. Loan
Company, has appointed a meeting for the 27th
inst., to consider the propriety of entering into
compromises with certain of the contributories,
and for other business.
Advices from Naples state that the King appears
disposed to give his attention to some of the
‘• Material" improvements of which Naples and
Sicily stand in need, and that various projects
having that end in view, are under consideration
A decree has already been issued, the date of
January 5, granting the concession of a company
for lighting Palermo with gas. The concessionaire
is understood to be M. Chatard de Fargeas; and
it is stated that this will be succeeded by similar
grants in favour of other cities of Sicily,
In consequence of the extent to which the Colo-
nial Produce Markets both here and in London
were supplied last week, there has been rather less
animation; but the enquiry for home consumption
has been quite sufficient not only to maintain pre-
vious prices, but in several instances to occasion a
small additional advance. Sugar, for instance, has
been in good request at a rise at least of 6d per
cwt. on West Indian, and of 6d to is on
Barbadoes descriptions, while Mauritius kinds
have also realised fuller quotations. East India
qualities, however, have, on the contrary, ruled
lower, and at the public sales of Havannah held
yesterday rather easier terms were accepted
Fuller rates have been current for Coffee, and a
fair business is reported. Tea has been quiet, with
sellers of common congou at Did to 11 d per lb.,
according to prompt, and Cocoa has been held for
hieh rates. The Rice market has ruled quiet, and
Madras is cheaper. Ginger has been steady, as
well as Pepper, and Pimento has risen Ad per lb.
Mace and Cloves have been heavy. At the London
public sales of Saltpetre, Bengal and Madras sorts
were taken in at a decline of Is to 2s per cwt.
Cochineal has risen ld per Ib, and Tallow has
remained steady. The indigo market has
remained firm, a good business having been done
in East India descriptions, at full rates. At
public sales low and medium qualities of Guate-
mala were in request, and realised very high prices

LIVERPOOL COTTON AIARKET.-JAN. 23

The extreme quietness which prevailed in the cotton
market at the date of our last, characterised the com-
mencement of the present week, when the demand was
almost entirely limited to the immediate requirements of
the trade, with prices of American rather in favour of the
buyer. During the last few days, the enquiry has slightly
increased, partly on speculative account, imparting more
steadiness, and causing quotations to remain unchanged.
Brazil and,Egyptiau in moderate request, at late rates•

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.-JAN. 23.

Even for a Friday we have had a most limited attendance
of buyers at our market this morning, and in the absence of
any transactions, except of a strictly retail character, in
Wheats, the general quotations of this grain must again
be written lower ; finest red American parcels, from scarcity,
have nearly maintained the rates of Tuesday, Os to 9a ld
being paid for choice southern ; but the best white has
given way 1d to 2d per bushel, and a similar reduction
applies to all the middle and lower classes of Wheat indis—
criminately.
Flour is very unsaleable, at a nominal depression of value.
Beans is per quarter cheaper, upon a merely retail trade.
Oats and oatmeal scarcely inquired for, and offering rather
lower.
There is very little prime Indian Corn offering, but
middling parcels are more pressed, and all sorts are the turn
in favour of buyers.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—JAN. 23.
Yarns were in rather better demand to-day, but goods
continue to be very much neglected.

LONDON PRODUCE MARKET. -JAN. 23.

SUGAR : There has been a fair general amount of busi-
ness this week, and 6d to 1 s advance on good consuming
qualities was paid on Tuesday last, but the demand
somewhat subsided the last two days. The refined
market is rather higher ; lumps quoted 62s to 645.
COFFEE has sold freely ;during the week at a slight
advance, and the article has an upward tendency.
TEA : The news by electric telegraph published in the
Times, caused an excitement, and an advance of fully ld has
been freely paid on common, and business to some extent
has been done at is id to is ld.
RICE : The quantities brought forward in public sale
have been very large. and a further slight decline has
been established.
Rum remains firm. Demerara, proof, 3s.
COTTON : A full amount of business done during the
week at last week's currency.
JUTE has sold steadily at previous rates.
SALTPETRE has been dull, and sales could not be made
without giving way in prices.
SPICES remain steady, at previous rates.
In other articles no material alteration. 2',

shares have been dealt in at 17 and 16i ex div. ; and
Santiago at 21. Other foreign mines are quiet.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.—JAN. 23.
We had but a slow demand for wheat at this day's mar-
ket, and sellers were disposed to make a slight concession in
price, say ls to 2s per quarter, but this did not lead to much
businev. Barley was dull of sale, and I s per quarter
cheaper.

DUBLIN CORN MARKET.—JAN. 23.
The business transacted to-day was not large, and prices
had rather a downward tendency from Tuesday's rates.

CORK CORN MARKET.—JAN. 23.
This market continues quite inactive. There is only a
limited demand for all kinds of grain produce, and prices
may be quoted as follows:—White wheat, 33s to 34s 3d;
red ditto, 31s 6d to 32s 91 ; barley, 21s 61 to 22s 61; oats,
12s 10d to 13s 61.

CORK BUTTER MARKET.—JAN. 23.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION (Ai ERIcAN) MARKET.

(Report for the week ending Jan. 23.)
There is a moderate demand tor Beef, higher prices are
asked, and in some instances paid, especially for a really
fine article, which is now scarce. The tone of the trade
generally is, however, much depressed, in consequence of
the repeated Government sales, which, it appears, are to
continue, two for February, two for March, and two for
April, being, it is understood, in preparation.
Fine new Pork is much wanted, but at the high rates
current in America a very small quantity will suffice ; old
is neglected, mainly owing to the Government sales.
The demand for Bacon is still inactive ; but, in the face
of the high advices from America, holders do not seem
inclined to give way, hence the sales are only to a limited
extent, and occasionally at a slight decline.
Lard is lower is to 2s on the spot, but for forward
there are still buyers at 65s per cwt for February and
March delivery.
Fine Cheese meets a free sale at full prices, good and
useful qualities are also more looked after.

wools, both white and yellow, best long stapled whites
realizing 15id to 16d, one lot 16/1 per lb.. For Egyptian
there was also a 'leap good demand, particularly for best
white fleece, and the whole sold at very satisfac.ory
prices. Turkey and Smyrna wools, particularly the better
qualities, were in good request. The greater portion was
sold at auction, and the remainder found buyers subse-
quently at a slight advance ou previous current rates. Ice-
land sold briskly, .at prices ranging from 101 d to 111,1.
Donskoi fleece, ni to 102 d. Peruvian being rated too
low in quality for present requirements, was neglected and
chiefly withdrawn. Of Buenos Ayres there was a poor
selection (only 71 bales inferior wools), which sold at 50 to
10/1. In other sorts no change was manifest, and the
market is now pretty well cleared of most descriptions of

wool.
A new feature, worthy of notice in these sales, and which
seemed to meet the approval of the trade, was a good
selection of English short and combing skin wool, which
sold readily at very satisfactory price. GREAME & CO.

Public sales of 19,867 bales " low" wool, coMmenced
here on the 15th instant, andconOuded to day (Sex, 23).
There has been a full attendance of home and Continental
buyers, and the competition showed considerable spirit
throughout. Almost the entire quantity offered has been
Sold at an average advance on our October sales of Id per
lb upon the bulk, which consisted of short stapled kinds,
while ld per lb, and in some, cases more, was readily paid
upon choice lots of long Stapled.
This result, is merely a confirmation of the geneng ten-
dency of the wool market for sometime past ; as; during
that period, the fact of inadquate supplies has strongly pre-
sented itself, and stocks of domestic and imported wools are
lighter now than they have been for many years. Prices
are proportionately elevated,
