WOOL MARKET.

Although Colonial Wool sells briskly at prices on the average 4d. to
40. per lb. higher than the prices of last public sale, still there is no ad.
vance in either English or Foreign descriptions, the latter of which are
now selling. The trade in these last descriptions is brisk, but they were
at gocd prices when Colonial was low. There are more public sales of
Colonial descriptions yet to come.
COLONIAL MARKETS.

To-day we have no public sales whatever in groceries of any kind ;by
private contract there are only such transactions as necessity requires
The market generally is languid ; and for to-morrow the salts are very
light of East and West India produce consisting of a little Sugar and Coffee.
B. P. Sugar is firmer, and secures more business. The fact is that gro-
cers are necessitated to buy, being short in stock. We cannot yet quote
this commodity higher. Refined Sugar is little better than nominal at
38s Si!. for fine crushed. Tea is rather brisk, and may be regarded as
a rising article.

Rice, Coffee, Rum, Cocoa, Spices, and Cotton, continue as they were.
Rum is particularly flan, owing to short stock. We have some sales
of Canadian produce advertized, but not for to-day. The imports
continue very insignificant, and the return of the frost has increased
the previous inactivity of these markets in common with all others.
The public sales to-day are chiefly drugs, which de not came on
until the evening.
CONCLUSION OF THE INDIGO SALE.

The Sale is over. Out of the eight thousand and odd chests put up,
but little above one-fourth has been sold. The great quantity bought
in has been so at prices on the average 6d. per lb. above those of last
Sale. The finest qualities have sold at last Sale's prices to 3d. per lb.
advance.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JAN. 24.

The demand for Cotton at this day's market was animated, but chiefly
confined to middling qualities, which are id. per lb. dearer than on
Saturday last. The fine sorts are without any alteration, either as to
demand or value. American, 61d., Sid. ; 60 Bahia, Bid. ; 120 Egyp.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp, of yester-
day's date, bringing the Dutch prices of Jan. 2.12. Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 63 3-16; Five per Cents., 100 3-11 ; Spanish, 19i.
The dangerous illness of the King of Prussia, although kept a secret
by the journals of Berlin, cannot be doubted, as it is now confirmed from
several quarters. His illness is of that nature which will soon termi-
nate in his death, and will be the signalfor a great change in the Prussian
Cabinet.—Antwerp Paper.
As yet we have no papers or letters from the North American packet
ship from New York, of the lst inst. In all probabilty, we may have
them by the second arrival from Liverpool, about t velve or one o'clock.
This is a great disappointment to the merchants and the public, who are
anxiously waiting for the news from Canada.
