. We have to report , a dull and inanimate market for
Cotton throughout the past week. The operations of
the trade have been of a limited character, whilst .ex-
porters have taken a fair interest (more particularly in
East India descriptions). Holders still continue to offer.
so freely, and seem so desirous of progressing with sales,
that considerable irregularity has prevailed in prices of
American at id. per lb. decline since Friday last. Bra-
zil depressed, and d. per lb. down. In Egyptian a fair
business has been done, but without any improvement
in price. Surat in good enquiry at per lb. decline.
The weekly sales are 51,450 bales, of which 3,440 are
on speculation, and 8,760 for export.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.--DEc. 2.- ,

At our 'market this morning. We had again a limited
attendance of the local as well as country trade. The
demand for any description of wheat is quite on a
moderate scale, and parcels of American on the quay
are obtainable on rather easier terms, but there appears
no disposition on the iart of holders to press sales ex
•store, and with the above exception we retain our quota-
tions of Tuesday last. Flour moves slowly, in some
cases a trifle cheaper. Beans scarcely support their late
value. Oats and oatmeal, though in limited request,
maintain recent currencies. Indian cum in better
inquiry, and firmly supporting the extreme rates of our
last.
From the 29th November,

SAMUEL HILVS METAL REPORT,
For the week ending 2tui

SAMUEL HILL'S METAL REPORT,
For the week ending 2nd December.
Our market has assumed a snecial phase since my
last, as indicated under the bead's of Pig Iron, Copper,
and Tin. In other departments there is not much scope
for comment, as manufactured Iron is very quiet, and
the turn rather in favour of the buyer, Welsh Bars
being easier. It is gratifying to those connected with
the trade to find that fresh applications of Iron are
being constantly made, and as an instance, the using of
hoops in the American shipping ports, to bind cotton
bales may be mentioned, and if successfully adopted
this branch of our native industry ought to receive a
good stimulus. During the Crimean war there was,
and since there has been a considerable demand, for this
description of Iron for packing hay, for commissariat
purposes, for both our own and the French Governments.
In Scotch Pig Iron the fluctuations have been conside-
rable, the price for Mixed Nos. Warrants f.o.b. in the
Clyde receded from 535. 6d. per ton cash, as last quoted,
to 525. 74-d. per ton, which was accepted ix Glasgow on
Tuesday. On the report 30th ultimo, that invitations
had been issued to the European Powers to attend the
general Congress convoked for the sth January next,
and that the questions: for discussion would be limited to
those arising from the Italian difficulty, a reaction set in,
and 535. 6d. cash was paid on Wednesday, 545. cash yes-
terday, 545. 6d. five weeks, and 555. three mos. open, to-
day closing buyers at these rates. The shipments thence
this week are 9,828 tons, against 10,449 tons same pe-
riod last year, yet they are a little more than one-half
of what they were in 1857, there being a great falling
off to Prussia, Holland, and France, but an increase
to the United States, thereby showing that the
upward movement is entirely attributable to a speculative
feeling. Copper was advanced on the 26th ultimo id.
per lb. on manufactured, and £4 10s. per ton on unma-
nufactureAl, making prices as undernoted, and quotations
for aheathing same as 11th January last (cake and ingot
10s. per ton less), when an advance of id. per lb. was.
declared ; the same was taken off 10th May, and, a
further reduction of id. per lb. made Ist July; on. the
14th idem, a better demand having sprung up mean-
while, this was re-imposed, and pnces remained steak). ,7
during the four following months. The exports, ho
ever, of Copper and Brass for October last, ult.? jit a
decrease of £45,143, as compared with, tho same
month of 1858 ; but the home consurapf
,„ to
compensate for this, has been very goods Refined
Tin was advanced yesterday £4 per ton, and Com-
mon Block and Ingot £3 per ton, whi
eh ought to
improve the price of Tin Plates. The following are

SUGAR, &c.
Messrs. Will lam Connal and Co., of Glasgow, in their
monthly ciro slar dated the 30th ult., say :-A large
business her, been done in our Sugar market during the
month, 11
-1' At more particularly within the last ten days,
at a gm-
d "ual advance of about ls. 6d. on previous rates,
Food 'Drown sugar now commanding 38s. to 395. The
trend
iactions comprise 1,318 hhds. 200 tierces B.P. West
tn, r Aia, 10,815 bags Mauritius, 526 hhds. Surinam, 7,800
ags Brazil, a cargo of 300 tons Rio Grande, 5,500
boxes Havana, on the spot, and two cargoes (one being.
partly Cuba Muscovado in hhds.) to arrive, besides 500
tons of Beet Root. Our refiners and dealers have also

been operating largely in, the English
_markets. on the
spot, as well as to arrive,' in cargoes of Manila, Havana,
Cubic -Muscovado,- -Porto Rica, and Paraiba. -The total,:
operations for the monthiii ou.r.own, as well as in other
markets, on Clyde , account, so far as they have trans-
pired, map be estimated at 8,500 tons. The markk'hai
closed with a quiet.but confident tone. The consump-
tion continues to progress in the same ratio, showing an
increase, as compared with the corresponding period of last
year of 10,05 tons. By the above table the stock is rela-
tively largerby 1,856 tons, but Some recent arrivals not yet
included in the Customs Official Statement, and about
400 tons, duty paid, still in first hands, will augment
the difference by 1,000 tons. In the United" Kingdom
the estimated differential stock is larger by 20 000 tons.
The transactions in Molasses exhaust the 'whole
stock in first hands, being 200 puns. Trinidad,
early in the month at 16s. 3d., and 700' puns. prime
Trinidad, for which the extreme price of 17s. was paid, for
shipment to Liverpool. The whole stock in bond will
thus be reduced to less than a fourth of that of last
year. There have been only seventy-two tons with-
drawn for distillation. Refiried goods have not partici-
pated proportionally in the improvement in the raw
market. Towards the middle of the month, the demand
was rather languid, and easier prices were submited to,
but with some slight variatiors for the better ; a large
business has been done latterly. No change on
the rates ruling . at the close of last month can
be quoted. Loaves have met a good sale, but
without any change worthy of 'notice. A more active
inquiry has sprung up for Treacle, at about 14s. to
14s. 3d., and Syrup now commands about is. to ls. 6d.
advance. Rum hai remained without alteration in
value, and the transactions coinprise about 60 puns.
Leeward and Jamaica. —No Coffee has been on
sale, and of spices the sales are limited to
a few bags Pimento at 3td. No Dyewoods have been
offering, but a supply of St. Domingo Logwood is ex-,
pected shortly. The market continues without supplies
of Tea ; a cargo,- however, of about 6,000 chests,
`directed to this market, has'been a month at sea.

SEEDS AND OILS.
Mr. James Samuelson, in his weekly report of Oil
Seeds and Oils, says :—Neither in Linseed nor Rape '
has there been any change worth noticing since' my last
circular, and although the. demand, especially for export,
is not so brisk, the priees are fully maintained, - The
value of good Bombay Linseed to-day is sls. to
51s. 6d., Bengal 46g. 64. to 495. 6d. ; brown Bom-
bay Rapeseed- 425. 6d. to 45g., Bengal the..`- same,
Guzerat rather lower, and. may be quoted at 50s.
to 545. Linseed Oil is in good demand and worth 28s.
to 288. 6d, per. cwt. in town, and 28s. 6d. •to 295. in
export casks. Rape Oil scarce, and good brown oil
would realise 375. 6d. per cart: Linseed Cake unaltered.
Should.this weather continue the price will be £lO to
£lO 2s. 6d. before many' days • at- iiresent it' mar be•
quoted £9 53. to £lO, according to quality. Rape Cake
is worth £4 ss. for manure, to £6 for fine feeding cake.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS AND RATES OF
FREIGHT.
(From Messrs. J. P. Platt & Co's.. Monthly Circular.)
Australia.-We have very little change to notice
in freights ; and although goods continue coming for-
ward freely for shipment, the extra number of vessels.
loading prevents any advance;' indeed, by outside ships.
slightly reduced rates would be accepted for large en-
gagements. The Great Britain steamer sails on the sth
inst., and will have a fair ca rvo. Our to-day's quotations
are : Melbourne, to Railway Pier, fine goods 40s. to 45a. ;
Earthenware, 355. to 40s. per ton measurement ; Iron,

mon, 555. ; stoved, 608. ; Iron, &c., 355. to 40s. per ton
weight. To Adelaide 40s. per ton measurement ; 35s

Tonnage continue on the most limited scale, this,
together with an average amount of freight, offering,
keeps freights very steady at a further advance. Pre-
