LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARF:ET, DEC. 28—There has been
only a limited demand for butter this week, but the sales made
are on as good terms as last week. There is a fair business
to report in bacon at full prices. Lard is saleable at fully as
much money. Choice Hams meet ready sale at rather
higher prices.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET. —There has been a uniform
fair demand fer most kinds of wool through the week at full
prices. Staplers are quite firm in their demands, and there is
no prospect of any decline for some time to come.
BRADFORD, TIII`RSDAY.—In the absence of a better reason,
we must assign the little business done to-day to the Christ..
mas week, one which generally has been found inferior as to
the amount of business done. The prices are stationary.
Yarns—This department of our trade is still brisk, which ap-
parently feels none of the effects of the piece market at this
season ; demand good, and prices quite buoyant. Wools--
There has been rather less doing in wools this week, and
though staplers are supposed to be in good stock, great firm-
ness in price is still manifest. It would not cause much sur-
prise were some kinds to go up a trifle more.
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.
TILE COTTON TRADE.—Perhaps for many years past
there was never sold in any one day a larger quantity of
grey cloth than on Wednesday, and at a little advance on
the rates of last week. The public, however, ought not to
be led astray by supposing that this unusual demand has
arisen from any legitimate cause. It is evidently the result
of some very large operations in the Liverpool Cotton
Market by speculators, who will, no doubt, take out of
the m:irket during the week at least 40,000 bags. The
prices are 12 or 15 per cent. higher now than they
were a month ago. Exports of yarns have also been to
a large extent, and prices are Id. per lb. higher than last
week. This activity must also be placed to the account
of the speculators.
