include 100 tons Garthsherrie, in lots, at $53 to $54, and
200 Glengarnock, at $52. A fair trade has been done in
manufactured iron, at unchanged rates.
LEAD was very quiet. Foreign pig was held at
$lO 121-c. to $lO 25c., currency, without sales.' Bar,
sheet, and pipe were jobbing at last quotations.
PETROLEUM.—The market was heavy, and both crude
and refined were lower. The sales were 6,500 bbls. at 41c.
to 4ljc. for crude, on the spot, and deliverable in all this
month and next ; 66c. to 66i-e. for refined, in bond, on the
spot; 64-}c. to 65c. for December and January, and 83c. to
85c. for free.

RlCE.—Rangoon was decidedly more active ; 12,000 bags
Rangoon Bassein wore taken on private terns ; also 100
bags Rangoon in lots at 4c. to 41c. gold, in bond. We note
&des of 30 tierces Carolina at 13c. to 134. c.
WooL.—The market shows a trifle more activity. The
least change for the better would be readily perceived,
having been quiet so long. Some manufacturers running
their stock very close have ventured into the market, to
the astonishment of the trade ; and the effect thereof has
been very agreeable to holders. Buyers, however, con-
tinue to have the advantage, and buy pretty much on their
own terms, except when they meet with parties having
full confidence in the future, and are not disposed to relax.
The operations have been small, although there is more
looking about. Sales about 250,000 lbs 'fleece, from 50e. to
55c. for medium Western grades, and 60c. to Gsc. for fine
and in good condition ; 25,000 lbs. pulled superfine, 55c. to
60c. Nothing doing in California; 200 bales Cape 38c. to
40c. ; 150 bales unwashed Texas, partly damaged, on
private terms; 100 bales fine Mestiza, 42c.; 13 do. South
American pulled, 53c. ; 125 do. B. A. private ; 30,000 lbs.
New Orleans, private ; 1,000 lbs. California fine, 40c. ; 22
bales do. common, 25c. ; 7,000 lbs. tub, 60c.; 98 bales
pulled, bsc. to 70c.

STATE OF TRADE.

~.--___

MANCHESTER, Dec. 29.—The general tone of the
market has been one of quietness, with steady
prices, but in shipping yarns we have had a very
strong market, resulting in a fair amount of busi-
ness. It appears that many buyers of yarns have
been holding back their orders, expecting that
when the annual stocktaking of cotton took place
in Liverpool the quantity would be found far in
excess of the estimate, and cause a reaction in the
prices of yarns here. When the result was tele-
graphed to-day, showing the excess to be only
these parties- gave _ot_
2-,000 bales, u-the.,ir orders
freely, and the market closes very strong. In home
trade yarns the market has been steady, with a
moderate business doing, and prices without change
since Tuesday. The rise in the Bank rate quieted
the market yesterday, but the favourable stock-
taking at Liverpool appears to have counteracted
the effect to-clay. In cloth, sellers say the rise in
discounts has had the effect of checking operations,
and has also prevented an advance in prices which
had been anticipated to-day. Under these circum-
stances buyers have been rather unwilling to give
out orders to any considerable extent. The market,
however, has been exceedingly firm, prices being,
so far as there is any alteration, in favour of the
manufacturer. What inquiry exists has principally
been for lots available for delivery at once, such lots
being very scarce at present. Most holders are well
cleared of stock. The market closes with but a mo-
derate business, but with extreme hardness in prices.
LEEDS.—The following is the trade report of the
Leeds Chamber of Commerce, for the month of
November :—•" Only a moderate amount of busi-
ness has been done in the woollen trade in the
public markets. A considerable amount has been
done in the warehouses, but more in anticipation of
the spring trade than for immediate consumption, as
is generally the case in the closing month of the
year. Winter stocks have been very well cleared,
and the prospects for the coining year are conse-
quently considered good. The manufacturers are
well supplied with orders, and are very busy. The
caps and ready-made clothing branches of business
are in a satisfactory state, and are quite as well em
ployed as is usual in December. Since the conclu-
sion of the public sales, the demand has continued
unabated for most descriptions of colonial wools,
and prices have an upward tendency. Good stapled
wools, suitable for the Bradford trade, are extremely
scarce. In English long wools the improved tone re-
ported last month has continued, and prices are very
firm. There has been a brisk demand for flaxes of
all sorts, and the market is very bare of good quali-
ties. Prices are somewhat higher, especially for fine
qualities. The demand for tows is better, and prices
are very firm.- The spinners are all fully employed,
but orders, as is usual at this season, have only been
given to a very limited extent. Prices of line yarns
are very firm, but continue low in proportion to the
prices paid for the raw material. Tow yarns are in
better demand, and prices are a little harder. The
thread trade is good, and an advance of price has
been made. The makers of iron are well employed,
and have as many orders in hand as is usual at this
period of the year, and altogether the prospect for
next year is good. The machine makers and the en-
gineer tool makers still continue to be busy, and both
are full of orders. There is a fair demand for cut
nails. The market for all descriptions of oil seeds con-
tinues very firm, and prices are fully supported.
Stocks are very light light, and there is everything
in favour of the present high rates ruling for the
mainder of the season. Rape oil is in active de-
mand, and the prices obtained are higher than last
month. There is a good home consumption for the
time of the year of linseed oil, and the export de-
mand continues large, prices continuing very firm.
Considering the prevalence of the cattle disease in
this district, cakes are in good demand. Olive oils
are using freely in Yorkshire, and rates are firm
with an upward tendency. Prices abroad are much
higher than here. The leather trade has on the
whole been quiet. Heavy sole leather has been
little inquired for. More business has been done in
East India kips, and the demand for calf skins and
offal has been brisk, and in the early part of the
month a slight advance in price was realized. Prices
of other classes are without change. The tan-
ners continue to be better employed. The shoo
trade continues quiet, especially for export. The
demand for paper has been quite equal to that usual
at this season. Better descriptions of rags are in
more request, and are rather dearer. The supply
of beasts has been good. That of sheep has been
below the average, especially during the latter half
of the month. The restrictions on transport ren-
dered necessary by the cattle disease are one
cause of this. Number shown (four markets)—
beasts, 2,254 ; sheep, 10,340. The wheat trade has
been dull and prices, after some slight fluctuations,
remain about the same. There has been a fair de-
mand for barley, and finer sorts are a shade higher.
The sales of oats and beans have not been large,
and prices of each are lower."
NOTTINGHAM, 29th.—There was a tolerable attend-
ance at our Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand
for lace yarns was steady at nominally unaltered
rates. The inquiry for hosiery yarns was moderate,
and recent prices were supported. Silks about the
same. There was not much doing in brown nets,
and prices may be written the same as last week.

The old dispute, whether lager beer is intoxicating
or not, came up to the Troy courts the other day, and a
witness swore that he drank 54 glasses of it one evening,
and was still perfectly sober.
