sale. Rum and molasses neglected.

lation, and as the trade had previously been large open-
ton., the market has since been quiet, irrespective of its
holiday character : pines of American are reduced 1.16 d. to
td. per lb. since Friday last. Brasil and Egyptian continue
quiet, and the business in Surat has been limited at rather
easier rates. Speculators have taken 1,590 American and
50 Maranham ; and exporters 700 American. 200 Euption,
50 West India and 790 Surat. The market opens quietly
this morning ; probable sales r.,olgi bales, including 1,000
on speculation and for export.

COTTON GOMA -fiIANCIiESTSR, JAN. 4. ---01611 V, to
the frost and the stoppage of mills, business has scarcely
commenced this year. The last accounts from Chins Lave
had a rather good effect, and goods suitable to that market
continue in fair demand, whilst printing cloths and the
lighter fabrics for labs are much depressed, and lower
pries have to be submitted to where sales are effected.
Loegcloths continue in good demand, at fair prices.
Goods are quite as firm to-day as at the beginning of the
week, but there is rather less inclination to purchase.
Although the Bombay mail has arrived at Marrcillea, we
hear of no telegrams to hand reenacting trade. In taros
there has been a quiet market, but prices see firm, owing
to contracts and the belief that cotton will continue dear.

Lorsaroot., JAN. 4.—There has been only a moderate
attendance of millers and dealers at this day's market, and
the demand fur wheat not being nearly so extensive as of
late, holders were forced to abandon all pretensions to
higher rates than this day se'ennight. Flour, on the con.
