The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, all' to the trade. The
market closed steadily. Compared with Friday's
rates, prices of American at 41d. to 50. were
nearly *d. per lb. dearer, from want of choice.
Everything else unchanged. The sales comprised
6,000 American, 90 Pernam and Maranham d.
to 60., .250 Bahia at sZil to 61, 300 Egyptian
at 511 to 71d., 590 Surat at 20. to 30., per
lb. Railways: Shares were quiet.
The Colonial Produce Markets re-opened last
Tuesday, but,- as usual, during the first week of the
year, the business clone has been limited. Sugar,
especially British plantation, was in demand at
higher prices early in the week, but has been
quieter since. Coffee has ruled dull, and the quan-
tity offered publicly has been very small. In rice
and spices there has been scarcely any business.
Tea has met with a fair inquiry for the common
con2;ou sorts. Bum has ruled dull ; salt-
petre also, and hemp and flax lower. Cochineal
has been- in demand at full prices. In cotton the
dealings haVe been limited, but quotations without
Much alteration. TalloW has declined.

NUMBER IN HOSPITALS ON THE 24TH OF DECEMBER.

Upon the silk trade Mr. Henry W. Eaton gives
the following information
" I fear that on the whole, few pars' have been less
satisfactory to the home trade-than 1854.
"This result must doubtless be attributed, in some
degree, to the many external causes operating generally,
but these, combined with the unexpectedly large imports
from China, and the unfavourable accounts from Ame-
rica, have absolutely rendered abortive every calculation,
and materially affected the sale of manufactured goods,
both herd furl abroad, as well as of thrown silks.
"China sills has again formed the great attraction cf
the year, the consumption showing an increase of up-
wards of 16,600 bales as-compared with that of 1853.
"The 'increase in the imports is 22,418' bales, the,
totals, exclusive of 400 bales of low, sorts from Leto
4s 3d being 55;793 bales in 1854 against 33,375
in 1853, while the existing stock is but 6,000 bales in
excess of that of January last, Tsatlees actually showing
a decrease of 1,327 bales.
" It may here be remarked, that these large deliveries
have arisen chiefly from the demand for export upon the
fall in prices, and shippers from China may rest assured
that moderate prices alone will secure a current sale of
such large exports of Taysaams and other coarse--silk,
which was clearly proved by the cessation of demand,
especially foreign, after the recent advance from lOs to
lls, to 11s 6J, to 12s 6:1, and its resumption since the

reaction.
" The variation in prices during the year for the same
qualities has perhaps been greater than at any former
period.
" Best Nos. 1 and 2 Tsatlees, for instance, have been
16s to 17S, and 19s to 20s ; thirds, 13s 6d and 18s ; other
sorts, 11s to 15s, and 13s to 17s. Bst Taysaams, 18s
and 13s ; usual sorts, 14s 6,1 to 17s, and lOs to 12s 6d.°
Chinese throWns, 14s 6.1 and 19s 61.
" The recent ad vices from China renort the settlements
for 'new silk frem the Ist July to Ist November, to- be
25,000 bales, against 30,000 bales last season, and the
shipments are estimated at 20,500 bales, against 25,700
bales ; of these we have already received 5,U0 bales,
against 9,500 prior to the 31st Dicember, 1853, leaving
about 15,000 bales afloat.
" Prices in China held out little inducement to ship-
pers to this country,
"The position of the Bengal market has been unsa-
tisfactory throughout, and it is really surprising to find
that 7,928 bales have been delivered for consumption,
being a decrease of only 1,741 bales.
" Coarse sizes of fair quality have CO doubt felt the
large supply and low price of Tayeaam silk, but it is
quite a mistake to imagine that the lowest qualities,
which are abundant, have been so affected, the real
• cause of their not selling being that there is no use to
which our manufacturers can apply anything so- infe-
rior." _ _ ,

Much activity prevails in the market for Ame-
rican securities, and purchasers have been found
during the past week for some considerable amount
of Government and State Stock which have been
offered for sale. In Railroad Bonds there has been
WI little doing ; many of them are now quoted
ex dividend. ' The prices at which business has
been done are stated by Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and

service via Southampton and Singapore having been
given up by the Peninsular and Oriental Company,
under the sanction of her Majesty's Government, no
mail has been despatched by the Tagus for the Austi a-
