COTTON.—Lurarool., Dec. 13.—There has been an
improved tone each day during the week, with • rather
better demand from the trade ; the current qualities of
American have recovered 4d. to id. per lb. of the decline
established up to the close of last week, and the quantity
offering is considerably reduced. The transactions in Brazil
have been limited, but quotations remain nominally an
before. Egyptian has been in moderate request, but at irre.
vier and rather lower prices. There has been a fair amount
of business done in Surat, and, compared with the low sake
of last week, a recovery did. to id. per lb. by been esta-
blished, more particularly, however, on the better qualities,
Altogether there bas been an increased disposition to buy,
and more confidence is observable. Speculators have taken
8,800 bales, viz., 6,660 American, and 2,140 Surat; and
exporters, 4,000 bales, viz., 1,200 American, 30 Parnell),
and 2,770 Surat. The actual export is 5,142 bales, viz.,
875 American, and 4,277 Surat. The market opens this
morning with • moderate demand; probable sales 5,000
balsa, including 1,000 on speculation and for export.

COTTON 000013.—MANCHESTZ1, Dec. 13.—There has
been anther better feeling in the market, and a little more
business has been doing at Tuesday's prices. The tone of the
market generally is stronger, and • more cheerful spirit pre-
vails. There bas bees a fair inquiry on the part of shippers
to India and Chins, but not at prices such as spinners have
been disposed to accept, and consequently it has cot led to
busineu. Buyers, in fact, are all waiting for the news ex.
pected by the American mail steamer, and for the India
mail (the letters of which are also due on Monday), before
they enter into any operations of magnitude. The same
feeling of caution is observable in the cloth market. There
has been very little business done linos Tuesday in any kind of
cloth. There are private telegrams to hand from Calcutta
dated Nov. 26, which report that there was hardly any
Laminate in cloth or yarn, on account of the high rates which
thine goods were held for. Some inquiries have resulted in
skirtings; but, as in the yarn market, the Manchester
buyers are disposed to wait for further advice, from Ame-
rica, and it is expected that by the time these ere to hand
they will be in possession of fuller information respecting
the state of trade at Calcutta and Bombay. Prices are
nominally the same its on Tuesday, but there has not been
sufecient,businees offering fairly to test them. The home
trade is doing very little in cloths, sod though some few
purchases have been made for the Mediterranean and other
quartets, the market is generally quiet and inactive.

OORS.—Bouterot, Dec. 11—At the clime of last week
there was much excitement is wheats, and an &deuce of la.
to 2a. per qr. was readily obtained ; since then the trade
has become rather calmer, and priors have resumed their
former level. At our market to-day English wheat was in
small supply, and sold slowly. at barely the prices of this
day se'nuight. Scarcely anything doing in foreugo, although
factors would have accepted Is- per qr. reduction. Malting
barley is better inquiry at fully last week's rater. Grind-
ing more in favour at unaltered values. Oats sold at a
decline of 6d. per qr. Beans and lodise oorn rather cheaper.
Arrivals :—Wheat, coastwise, 1,590m5. ; foreign, 2,178 son.
Oats, Irish, 3,316 qrs. Barley, Irish, 69 qrs. India' core,
foreign, 908 qrs. Flour, cemeteries, 136 sacks ; foreigu,
3,149 brie

CMILIIIIIOID. Mo. 13. The weather is very damp
and mild for the meson of the year, which causes the
wheat to come in in worse condition. There was a small
show at our market today, with few buyer' ; best rune
could not be bought lower, but, where sales were effectrd,
Is. lower price was taken on secondary qualities. Harley,
best malting, scam and fully as dear. Limas more offering
and rather easier to purchase ; Ifuragan, 374. Od. to 334. ;
ticks, 4(h. to 44e. ; extra, 455.

LLIIICOLN, Dec. 13.—A email *apply of wheat at our
market ; the us& ruled dull with price* in favour of the
buyer. Reds, 62e. to &lc ,• white, 85e. to 69a. There was
mon life in the barley trade and anything fine made full
prier. Malting, 330. to 39e. ; gtiuthog, 316. to 33e. Beau
and oar rme ae last week.

Livaaroot, Dec. 13.—We have had • dull market this
morning, and the business passing has been quite in retail
at • further reduction of Id. per rental on wheat, making
3d. to 4d. on the week. Flour is held at a decline of lid.
to la per barrel and sack previously established, but is
difficult to move. Indian corn has had rather a better in.
quiry, and closes tolerably steady at Is. per quarter under
the rates of last Friday. Oats and oatmcal both dull, and
the turn cheaper. Beans, pease, and barley remain without
alteration either in demand or value. The market is of a
very irregular character throughout.

WAREFIIILD. Dec. 13.—Owing to the political uncertain.
ties the wheat trade has been inactive this week, factors
having been indisposed to concession, and millers disin-
clined to buy, except on lower terms. Only a limited ho-
nes, has been done today, and prices are rather cheaper
than last Friday. Barley steady soil firm. No Change is
other articles. Average, week ending Dec. 9:—Wheat,
,53l qrs., at 635. 3d. ; barley, 1,004 qrs., at 37e. 7A.1. ;
eats, 30qrs., at Ws. sd. ; beans, 55 qrs., at 435. 4td. ;
70 qra., at 39a.
